Hi Mary,
Is the recipe below the one you mean?
Phaed
German Potatoes
4 to 6 baking potatoes
6 to 8 slices bacon
1 onion chopped fine
cabbage (approximately 1/2 head depending on taste)
Fry bacon in large frypan.
Fry bacon until crisp, remove and crumble. Brown onions in bacon
grease, until transparent and slightly brown, remove and set aside.
Slice potatoes into bacon grease (you may need to add a small amount
of oil). When potatoes are almost done, mix in the bacon and onions
and layer cabbage on top. Cover with a lid and turn heat to low.
Cook for approximately 10 minutes until cabbage is soft. Remove
lid, chop and mix cabbage in with potatoes and turn heat to medium.
Cook until potatoes and cabbage are done, approximately 10 minutes.
Add salt and pepper and serve with any meat. All the ingredients
can be varied, depending on taste.

I'm looking for a recipe that aired recently on "From Martha's
Kitchen" There were no recipes available for that show.
I tuned in on the last step and missed the ingredients. Don Harlow
was the guest and he made Maple Cream. It was spread on toast and
looked like an interesting thing to try.
Thanks for looking.
Sandra
Hi Sandra,
I didn't see the show, but I did find a recipe for Maple Cream for spreading on biscuits and toast, so maybe that's it. See below.
Phaed
Maple Cream
Ingredients :
2 c. sour cream
1/2 c. maple syrup
1/4 tsp. salt
Preparation :
A wonderful addition to hot gingerbread, toats, hot biscuits or spice
cake, or on a slice of bread for after school snacks, Maple Cream
can be kept for days in the refrigerator. Stir together, put in a
sauceboat and grate nutmeg over top. Chill thoroughly. Serves
approximately 10.

Making maple cream (maple spread) at home is a fairly easy process, but
extreme care must be taken because it involves very hot liquids.
Equipment needed For Cream:
1. Pure maple syrup, Grade A Light Amber or Medium Amber works best.
A quart (4 cups) will make 2 pounds of maple cream.
2. Deep cooking pot or pan.
3. Candy thermometer (available at houseware store) capable of measuring
to 240° F.
4. A few drops of butter or vegetable oil.
5. A large pan or sink full of cold water.
Directions for Cream:
1. Fill pan partially with water and the thermometer.
2. Bring to a boil, and note the temperature of the boiling water.
Empty the pan.
3. Place syrup in pan; using a deep pan as the boiling syrup will foam
up fairly high when boiling.
4. Add a few drops of oil or butter. (This helps to keep foam down).
5. Boil carefully over high heat without stirring, until temperature
of the boiling syrup is 24° above the boiling point of the water, as
noted earlier. Watch carefully as the temperature climbs higher. It
can get too hot very quickly near the end. If your pan boils over,
you'll have a real mess! If it cooks too long it can scorch, even
catch fire. Watch It! (This is not a place for children nearby, as
the boiling syrup is VERY hot, and can stick and burn).
6. Remove from heat, and place immediately into a large pan or sink
of very cold water to cool. Do not move, stir, or disturb the syrup
during cooling. You can gently add some ice cubes to the water bath.
7. Cool to near room temperature (Hold the back of your hand close
to the surface, its cool enough when you don't feel any heat radiating
off the surface anymore).
8. Remove from water bath and stir slowly with a wooden spoon until it
looses its gloss and starts to get opaque. You will notice a change in
the color of the liquid. This will take a strong hand and some time.
It will get to the consistency of peanut butter when finished.
9. Spoon into containers and keep refrigerated.
10. Lick all the utensils and enjoy.

Hi Karen,
"Turkish delight" is a type of candy that is very popular throughout the
Middle East. In Turkey it's called "rahat loukoum", meaning "rest for the
throat". Although this candy originated with the Ottoman Turks, it is very
popular in Greece and the Balkans as well, and the British love it dearly.
C.S. Lewis, the author of the "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe,"
likely mentioned it because of its popularity in his native Britain. Below
are some recipes.
Phaed
Turkish Delight
Ingredients
4 cups sugar
4 1/2 cups water
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 1/4 cups cornstarch
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 1/2 tablespoons rosewater
red food coloring (optional)
1 cup confectioners sugar Introduction:
This appealing candy is easy to make at home. Rosewater can be found at
specialty food stores. When the sugar syrup boils, coat the inside of the
saucepan with a brush dipped in water to prevent sugar crystals from
forming.
Makes 80 pieces.
Total time: 2 hours.
Step 1:
Oil a 9-inch square pan. Line with plastic wrap and oil the plastic wrap.
Step 2:
In a heavy saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, 1 1/2 cups of the
water, and the lemon juice. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the mixture
boils. Reduce the heat and simmer gently, without stirring, until the
mixture reaches the soft-ball stage (240°F on a candy thermometer). Remove
the pan from the heat.
Step 3:
In a second large heavy saucepan over medium heat, stir together 1 cup
cornstarch and the cream of tartar. Gradually stir in the remaining 3 cups
of water until no lumps remain. Stir constantly, until the mixture boils and
is a thick, gluey paste.
Step 4:
Slowly pour the hot sugar, water, and lemon juice syrup into the cornstarch
mixture, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring often to
prevent sticking, for about 1 hour, or until the mixture has become a pale
golden color.
Step 5:
Stir in the rosewater and tint as desired with food coloring. Pour the
mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Cool to room temperature
and let stand, uncovered, overnight to set.
Step 6:
Sift the confectioners sugar and the remaining 1/4 cup cornstarch onto a
large cutting board. Turn the Turkish delight out and cut into 1-inch
squares with an oiled knife. Roll pieces in the sugar mixture to coat well.
Store in an airtight container with sheets of waxed paper, dusted with the
sugar mixture, separating every layer.
---------------------------
Turkish Delight
Bring 1/2 cup cold water, 1 cup sugar and the grated rinds of one orange
and one lemon to a boil. When boiling, add 2 tablespoons gelatin dissolved
in a little warm water and continue simmering for 15 minutes. Remove from
head and stir in 2 tablespoons red currant jelly, 3 tablespoons strained
orange juice, 3 tablespoons strained lemon juice and 3 tablespoons strained
lime juice and a little green food colouring. Pour into a shallow, square
wet tin, and chill in the refrigertor until set. When cold and firm, cut
into squares using a knife dipped in hot water. Toss pieces in sifted icing
sugar and enjoy.
----------------------------------
Turkish Delight
2 cups (1/2 liter) granulated sugar
1 1/4 cups (300 ml) water
1 lemon, the peel cut into strips, the juice squeezed and strained
1 orange, the peel cut into strips, the juice squeezed and strained
4 tablespoons (60 ml) unflavoured powdered gelatin
2 tablespoons (30 ml) confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon (15 ml) cornstarch
Dissolve the granulated sugar in half of the water over medium heat. Add
the strips of lemon and orange peel and the juices. Bring the mixture to
a boil and simmer for 15 minutes. Soften the gelatin by soaking it for 5
to 10 minutes in the rest of the water. Add the gelatin to the sugar syrup
stirring well, and boil for 10 minutes, until the syrup reaches the thread
stage.
Strain the mixture into shallow dampened pan or onto platters, and let it
set for 24 hours. Cut the candy into 1-inch (2 1/2 cm) squares. Sift the
confectioners' sugar and cornstarch together into a shallow dish. Roll
the pieces of candy in the mixture. Store the squares in boxes with more
confectioners' sugar and cornstarch between each layer.
