Subject: Coconut Spread
I purchased a jar of coconut spread in southern Fla. I wonder, by chance,
if you could find a recipe for it !!!
Thanks Jo
Hi Jo,
I believe that what you mean is "coconut toast spread." This is a coconut
jam-like commercial product that's made by Seven Keys. I can't find any
recipes for "coconut toast spread" or "coconut spread".
You can buy the Seven Keys product at these sites:
McClain's Gourmet
Stuckey's
The most similar recipes that I can find are for "coconut jam." One below and more on my site here:

Caribbean Coconut Jam Recipe
From: https://www.celtnet.org.uk
Ingredients:
1 coconut
200g sugar
1 vanilla pod
freshly-grated zest of 1 lime
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
generous pinch of freshly-grated nutmeg
Method:
Break open the coconut and extract the white flesh. Remove the brown skin with a knife
then chop the flesh very finely in a food processor.
Add 50ml water to a pan and when boiling stir in the coconut flesh, the vanilla pod
(which you should split lengthways), sugar, lime zest, cinnamon and nutmeg. Reduce
to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes, or until smooth and thickened. Remove the
vanilla pod then spoon into clean, sterilized jars that have been warmed in a
cool oven. Seal, label and store until needed.

Subject: Deep Dish Apple Raisin Pie
I've lost my very favorite apple pie recipe :-(
It was called "Deep Dish Apple-Raisin Pie"...and I think I got it out of a
magazine or Newspaper at least 30 years ago, if not longer.
It had all the usual pie ingredients, except that I remember putting a hole
in the top crust and pouring in heavy cream before baking.
Can you help me find it?
Thanks,
Gabriele
Hi Gaby,
Sorry, I had no success with it. It might be on the web, but none of my
special tricks produced any results. The only way to find it would be for
you to Google "deep dish apple raisin pie" and similar names, and then to
check every page on which those words appear.

Hello Charmaine,
Sorry, I cannot find a recipe that exactly fits your description. The
recipes that I'm finding that are called "Maryland Black Walnut Cake"
are like the first one below, with only 3 eggs and no citron & lemon,
and no mention of brown paper.
I also found the second recipe below, which does use brown paper in an angel
cake pan, but it has 6 eggs and no lemon or citron.
I did not find any recipes with 9 eggs, and none with a large quantity of
eggs plus lemon and citron and that called for an angel cake pan lined with brown paper.
There are more black walnut cake recipes on my site at these locations:

Black Walnut Cake 2

I have this very old recipe for Black Walnut Cake that uses 9 eggs.
The recipe is about 100 years old and is a cold oven pound cake recipe.
Note: You place the cake in an unheated oven and then turn the heat to
225F degrees. DO NOT place this cake in a preheated oven as it will not
turn out.

Subject: Poco Bandito's
We had a Restaurant that served Mexican food here in Rochester NY about
5 years ago and one of the best things on the menu was a dish called
Siesta Bombs. They were made with the potato that was scooped out of
the skins used for the potato skins dish. The potato was mixed with
Mexican cheese and jalapeno peppers and rolled in crushed up tortilla
chips and deep fried and served with a melted cheese dip over a small
candle warmer. Can you find this recipe?

Hello Robert,
Sorry, I cannot find any mention of either Poco Bandito's or "siesta bombs".
