Hello Lynne
I found several of these recipes. Below are three. Kids love to roll the can
back & forth between two or more.

3 lb. coffee can
1 c. whipping cream

1 egg, beaten
1/2 c. sugar
1 c. strawberries
Crushed ice and rock salt for freezing
Preparation :
Pour all the ingredients except ice and salt in the 1 lb. can and
stir well. Put lid on the can. Put 1 lb. can inside the larger
can. Alternate layers of rock salt and crushed ice around the
outside of the smaller can. (You will need about 4 cups of crushed
ice and 1/2 cup rock salt.) Put lid on large can. Let kids (or
yourself) roll can back and forth on the floor for 15 minutes. Open
lid on larger can and drain off excess water. Remove small can,
wipe lid, and open carefully. With a spatula, scrape the well
frozen ice cream from the outside edge of the can and mix well with
the softer mixture in the middle. If the ice cream is still too
soft, replace lid, repack large can with salt and ice. Put on lid,
and roll 5 to 15 minutes longer. Make your own variations.
Chocolate milk can be used instead of regular milk. Makes 3 cups.

Hello Francoise,
This website:
Homecooking
Tells you all about making your own sun-dried tomatoes.
Below are a couple of recipes that I found.
Phaed
From Ciao Italia.
Use plum tomatoes, fresh, unblemished, ripe.
1. Pre-treat the cookie sheet with Pam or something to keep the
tomatoes from sticking.
2. Cut them lengthwise and place them facedown on a cookie sheet.
3. Put them in the oven and keep them on 150 degrees, low heat.
4. Let them shrivel up until they are the consistency of a dried
apricot.They will be still bendable but most of the moisture is gone.
5. Clean the jar, then layer tomatoes with fresh basil leaves,
garlic slices, and salt. Make multiple layers.
6. Fill the jar with extra virgin olive oil. Press down on the tomatoes
as you go. Make sure the tomatoes are submerged and that no air is
in there.
Preserve at least six weeks.
Notes and Modifications:
I added the part about stick-proofing the sheets.
The first time I did this, it took days in an oven on warm to dry
them. I need to speed it up.
--------------------------------------
Sun Dried Tomatoes
Wash and stem ripened tomatoes. Slice horizontally, about 1/4
inch thick. Salt on both sides and let sit for 30 minutes. Rinse.
Lay on foil covered baking sheets. Cover lightly with cheese cloth.
Place in sun for several hours, turning occasionally until desired
dryness is achieved. Store in jars in a cool pantry. Or make
marinated sun dried tomatoes by placing tomatoes in jars with olive
oil, garlic and basil and 3 tablespoons vinegar per quart.
Intensely flavorful, dried tomatoes add snap to salads and breads.
Also can be moistened to make sandwiches.

Hello Martha,
Was it Indian Pudding Ice Cream or Indian Pudding WITH Ice Cream? You see,
there is a traditional Thanksgiving dish in New England called Indian
Pudding that's served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. This
pudding dates all the way back to the first Thanksgiving when the Pilgrims
were taught how to make it by the Indians. There's a recipe below.
Phaed
Indian Pudding
This is a very basic, traditional recipe for Indian Pudding. Serve with
maple ice cream or vanilla ice cream and real, warm maple syrup. You can
also dust the pudding with real maple sugar right after it comes out of the
oven.
4 cups milk
1/2 cup dark molasses
1/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup yellow cornmeal
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 teaspoons butter
1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
2. Heat three cups of the milk in a double boiler. Add the molasses,
sugar, cornmeal, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, and butter. Cook
over the hot water, stirring frequently until the mixture thickens.
3. Pour the mixture into a greased 1 1/2 quart casserole. Pour in
the remaining cup of cold milk but do not stir. Place carefully in
the oven and bake for 2 1/2 hours. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla
ice cream on top of each serving..

Hi Bill,
Sorry, I can find a recipe for vanilla filling, but not the chocolate.
The vanilla's below. The chocolate is probably basically the same but with
cocoa added.
Phaed
Vanilla Filled Doughnuts
Donuts
1 pkg. regular or quick-acting yeast
1/8 C. warm water (105-115ºF)
3/4 C. lukewarm milk (scalded then cooled)
1/4 C. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1 egg
1/6 C. shortening
2 1/2 C. all-purpose flour
Vanilla Filling
1/4 C. solid vegetable shortening
1/4 C. butter or margarine
1/2 tsp. clear vanilla extract
2 C. sifted confectioners' sugar
1 T. milk
Dissolve yeast in warm water in mixing bowl. Add milk, sugar,
salt, egg, shortening and 1 cup of flour. Beat on low speed
scraping bowl constantly, 30 seconds. Beat on medium speed,
scraping bowl occasionally, 2 minutes.
Stir in remaining flour until smooth. Cover and let rise in
warm place until double, approximately 50-60 minutes.
Turn dough onto floured surface. Roll dough 1/2-inch thick. Cut
with round cookie cutter. Cover and let rise on floured baking
sheets until double, 30-40 minutes.
Heat vegetable oil in deep fryer or Dutch oven to 350ºF. Slide
doughnuts into hot oil. Turn doughnuts as they turn golden brown,
about one minute on each side. Remove carefully from oil (do not
prick surfaces) and drain.
When cool, make small hole to insert vanilla filling (recipe follows).
Take a sharp narrow knife and carefully make a large cavity inside of
the doughnut to hold the filling. Fill the doughnuts generously and
dust heavily with powdered sugar.
Vanilla Filling: Cream butter and shortening, gradually add sugar 1/2
cup at a time. Add milk and vanilla, beat until light and fluffy. Will
keep for 2 weeks in airtight, refrigerated container. Fills: 12 doughnuts
Servings: 12

Do you have a recipe for hardshell blue claw crabs cooked with oil and
wine vinegar? Thank you.
Hello James,
Do you mean that the claws are actually cooked in oil and wine vinegar, or the one below, where the cooked crab claw meat is marinated in oil and wine vinegar before serving?
If it's the former, explain it in a little more detail and I'll look again.
Phaed
