Hello Taina,
I could not locate any place on the Internet that sells Estonian blood
sausage, or verivorst. You might try e-mailing these people, they might be
able to tell you:
Estonia
I did find a recipe to make verivorst, but it's in Estonian. See below.
Phaed
Verivorst
2,5 l vett
1 l verd
1 kg odrakruupe
soola
500 g seapekki
300 g sealiha
pipart
vürtsi
majoraani
300 g valget sibulat
2 sl võid
10 m seasoolt
Pese kruubid ja pane kuuma vette. Keeda nõrgal kuumusel. Kui kruubid on
paisunud, lisa maitseained ja kuubikuteks lõigatud sealiha. Sega ja hauta.
Hautamise ajal putru segada ei tohi, sest puder peab olema sõmer,
kruubiterad peavad jääma eraldi. Valminud pudru lase veidi jahtuda, lisa
siis hakitud ja võis kuumutatud sibul ning läbi sõela kurnatud veri ja
kergelt pruunistatud kuubikuteks lõigatud pekk. Täida sooled pudruga (mitte
liiga täis), seo soolte otsad kinni ja keeda vähese soolaga maitsestatud
vees. Kuumuta aeglaselt ja ainult keemiseni (muidu sooled lõhkevad) 10-15
minutit, olenevalt soolte jämedusest. Pärast veest väljatõstmist aseta
vorstid üksteise kõrvale jahtuma.
Õhku võib välja lasta torgates vorsti auke kahvli või hambaorgiga.
Pann määri rasvaga, aseta vorstid pannile. Peale ja kõrvale pane rasvase
sealiha viilud. Prae ahjus. Serveeri koos pohlakeedise või kõrvitsasalatiga
Fred sent a partial translation and possible sources of ingredients:
I could follow most of the directions, but am a little confused as where to get some ingredients:
1 l verd- I assume one liter of Pork blood.
300 g sealiha - pork
500 g seapekki - fatty probably smoked pork.
majoraani spice marjoram - I would add to taste after cooking, not in the mixture.
300 g valget sibulat- chopped white onion.
2 sl võid- butter.
2,5 l vett - water.
10 m seasoolt - literally pork salt, probably unrefined salt crystals. I doubt the english word
SEA is significant.
Meri or Vesi correspond to ocean/water.
What I find most confusing are the units.
I would recommend contacting: www.vabaeestisona.com/ in NYC
I'm half Polish and half Estonian.
Also try: www.estonianhousenewyork.com
Estonian educational society 243 East 34th Street New York, NY 10016
It's been over 50 years since I've been there.

Head Uut Aasta!

Hello Linda,
Below are three different recipes for Grape Nuts Ice Cream.
Phaed
Grape Nut Ice Cream
Ingredients :
2 qt. milk
3 c. sugar
1/3 c. flour
4 lg. eggs
2 cans evaporated milk
1/4 tsp. salt
Vanilla
1 c. Grape Nuts
Preparation :
Mix 1/2 cup milk with sugar, flour and eggs. Heat remainder of
the milk. Stir in sugar-flour-egg mixture and heat to boiling,
stirring constantly. Cool, stirring occasionally. Add evaporated
milk, salt, vanilla and Grape Nuts. Enough for a 6 quart freezer.
------------------------------
Grape-nuts Ice Cream
Makes 4 Servings
1/2 cup POST® GRAPE-NUTS® Brand Cereal
1 pint fat free ice cream or frozen yogurt, softened
Mix cereal into ice cream in freezer-safe medium bowl. Cover.
Freeze until firm. Serve in ice cream cones if desired.
-------------------------------------
Crunchy Grape-Nuts Ice Cream
Ingredients:
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 quart whole milk
2 eggs
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup whipping cream
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/3 cup grape- nuts
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
2 junket tablets dissolved in 1 tbs. cold
water
Preparation:
Heat the milk until lukewarm and add the sugars. Separate the eggs
and add the yolks well beaten, the vanilla, salt and dissolved junket
tablets. Stir thoroughly and chill. Then fold in the egg whites beaten
stiff and the whipping cream, combined with the Grape-Nuts. Stir
thoroughly to mix all the ingredients. Freeze.
Chrusciki
POLISH ANGEL WINGS
4 egg yolks
1 whole egg
1/2 tsp. salt
1/3 C. confectioners' sugar
2 T. rum or brandy
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 1/4 C. flour
3 C. vegetable shortening for frying
Confectioners' sugar for topping
In a large bowl of an electric mixer, combine egg yolks, egg
and salt. Beat on highest speed until mixture is thick and drops
softly from the beaters, 7 to 10 minutes,
Beat in sugar, a small amount at a time. Beat in rum and vanilla
extract. Remove from mixer. Fold flour into mixture by hand until
incorporated.
Turn dough onto generously floured surface. Knead dough until
blisters form on the dough, about 10 minutes. Add small amounts
of flour as needed to surface to keep dough from sticking. Divide
dough in half. Cover one half with inverted bowl, towel or plastic
wrap to prevent drying.
Roll out other half of dough as thin as possible, (about an 8 x 12-inch
rectangle). If dough resists, let it rest for a few minutes and resume
rolling. Cut dough into 2 x 4-inch rectangles. Make a 2-inch slit from
center almost to end of each dough strip. Pull opposite end of strip
through slit to twist the dough. Repeat with remaining dough.
In a large skillet, heat vegetable shortening until it reaches 350ºF
on a deep-fat fry thermometer. (This is important, if the oil is too
cool, dough will absorb too much oil; if it is too hot, the pastry
will burn on the outside and not cook properly on the inside.) Add a
few angel wings at a time and fry until golden on both sides, turning
about halfway through cooking time, about 1 1/2 minutes total. Remove
to drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining angel wings until all
are fried. Cool completely and dust liberally with confectioners' sugar.
Store in airtight container.

Subject: butter roll
I am trying to find a dessert recipe for my husband that
his grandmother made him as a child in Kentucky. It has
a lemon-butter flavored syrup and strips of dough similar
to a cobbler, but without any fruit just dough and syrup.
The only name his grandmother ever used was butter roll.
Thanks, Kathy
Hi Kathy,
Below are several recipes. i didn't find any that called for
lemon flavoring; most called for vanilla, but some just said
"your favorite flavoring", which could be lemon if you like.

Subject: White Refrigerated Fruitcake -or- Candy ?
My late mother made at Christmas a treat consisted of the
following ingredients...there were additional ingredients,
however, I do not recall what they were. I continually look
for a recipe but never find. After combining the ingredients,
she would put in a pan and chill for a day in the refrigerator.
I don't recall that this was baked in an oven... I tend to think
it was not. As best I remember, some of the ingredients were:
Condensed milk
Coconut
Recipe called for candied fruits but she did not care for these
and would use canned fruit that she dried on paper towels.
Pineapple, mandarin oragnes,cherries, etc.
I am not certain if crushed graham cracker crumbs were involved or
not...again, I think not.
Chopped pecans were also added.
Should you be familiar with a recipe along these lines, I would
be so appreciative. Thank you for your attention.
Sincerely,
Martha
