Hello,
My sister-in-law is visiting from Florida. She has several food allergies including Peanuts, potatoes, citrus, yeast and tomatoes. I was wondering if anyone else has these problems and can share their recipe ideas.
Thank You, Connie from Ohio


Nancy,
This is for Dorothy looking for Hot Cider recipes. My friend Annette made hot cider for a party by buying regular cider in a store, and putting it in a crock pot with those red-hot cinnamon candies. She used about half a cup of candies per gallon of cider. She heated the cider in the crockpot on low for about 4 hours. It tasted really great and turned out a nice color, too.

Thanks Nancy,
Really like the Newsletter being posted online, This is for Sherri in Ohio who wanted the recipe for Corky's BBQ Sauce. I found this at CIA KIDS.COM
Linda

Corky's Southwest Style BBQ Sauce
Yield: 1 pt.

1/2 cup coffee, strong
1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup ketchup
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/8 cup butter
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 cup onion, small dice
1/8 cup chili peppers, small diced
1 tablespoon garlic, minced

Cornstarch and water slurry as needed

Melt butter in a large sauce pan. Add onions and cook until tender. Add the garlic and chili peppers and continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Add the chili powder and stir well. Cook over moderate heat until the chili powder's flavor is developed. Add the remaining ingredients and simmer for approximately 45 minutes. Mix approximately 2 Tbsp. of cornstarch with 1/4 cup of water until it is smooth. Stir the slurry into the BBQ sauce to adjust the thickness of the sauce. Be certain to bring the sauce back to the boil before cooling to cook out the starch of the cornstarch. Sauce can be used at this point or be stored under refrigeration for up to one week.


This is for Sheri in Ohio who was wanting recipe for Corky's BBQ sauce. I don't have a recipe for it but am good at finding things on the internet and I found several sites online that sell it. Your letter has intrigued me and am ordering some myself. I am putting a link to one site for it here but if you wish you can simply go to a search engine like Google.com and type in Corky's BBQ sauce and will come up with many sites. Hope this helps you. :)

It will then highlight the beginning of the recipe from there hold down you CMD plus SHIFT key and using the arrow keys scroll down to continue highlighting
the remainder of the recipe. Then hit the CMD plus C (this will copy what you highlighted) and when you go to a blank page to copy the recipe. Just hit the CMD plus V and your recipe will be there.. It is very easy. You can email me if you need further instructions.. Connie

Hi everyone!
Here's a tough one: I'm from the Chicago, Illinois area and have had cabbage soup at Marshall Fields, River Oaks, in Calumet City, Illinois. If anyone could dig up a recipe, I would gobble it up with great pleasure!! Thanks to
all.

Hi Nancy: What a super recipe site. I've printed out so many great sounding recipes, that I don't know when I'll have time to try them all out.
I'm looking for a recipe called Chicken Breasts Supreme. It was in a Betty Crocker Cookbook that I got in 1970 [or so]. I no longer have the book and would really like to make this. It had sauterne and green grapes in it, but I can't remember what else. Can someone please help?
I thank you in advance.
SueB in Ca.


Nancy your newsletter is great. Best on the web. I have a special request. does anyone out there around Butler, Pa. have the recipe for the hotdog sauce served in The Hot Dog Shop there in your city. It is the best around. thank you
Robert


Your newsletters are special. Thank you so much.
Carolyn


hi Nancy, I love your newsletter. I use recipes from it all the time. thanks to all the contributors. I'm looking for a recipe for Italian iced tea, if anyone has it.
Thank you, Lisa from Houston


Nancy,
I am on a salt restricted diet and have found some soup recipes that are low in sodium. My question is I would like to condense them like Campbell's does in their Cream of Mushroom, Chicken, Asparagus etc. Does anyone know if and how this is done?
Thanks, Marilyn in NC


ENCHILADAS VERDES (Green enchiladas)
1 pound green tomatoes (the one with husks)
6 green chilies (Serrano kind) or more if you like it
hot
10-12 cilantro sprigs
Salt to taste

As much corn tortillas as like

1 medium onion, chopped
1 big fresh cheese (Mexican style), crumbled
Dairy cream

Boil in a slow flame the tomatoes (husked) and green chilies in small amount of water, till they turn to a yellowish color and are soft. Turn them into the blender and add the cilantro sprigs and salt to taste. Turn this salsa on a skillet with one tablespoon of oil and bring to boil. Turn off and reserve.

You can warm the tortillas in a skillet or microwave to turn them pliable OR you can pass them by hot oil (one by one) and put them aside on a plate. Afterwards, you pass each tortilla through the green salsa, put the tortilla on a plate and fill each
tortilla with one or two tablespoons of the cheese mixed with the chopped onion. Roll or double it in half and put them on a greased skillet (for on the stove) or a greased square pyrex (if you want to use your oven), putting them aligned in it. After you have filled the skillet or pyrex, you can pour the rest of the salsa, some dairy cream and sprinkle with more cheese and onion.

On top of the stove: put the skillet covered on a very slow flame till it warms up.

In the oven: put pyrex inside the oven at 350? for about 15 minutes or till it gets warm.

FILLING VARIATIONS: you can use shredded pork meat or chicken, or ground beef (prepared "picadillo" style) or whatever leftover meat you have on hand, or even
refried beans.

CHILAQUILES
You can use the same ingredients as for Enchiladas, except, instead or rolling or doubling in half the tortillas, you cut them in small pieces (I usually tore them in small pieces with my fingers), fry the tortillas till they are a little crisp (less than the "fritos"). Put the fried tortilla pieces in a skillet, if you like you can add any kind of meat to make it a little more nourishing. Add the salsa as much amount as you like (I prefer my chilaquiles only to be wet more to the dry side, but some people like the tortillas being like a soupy kind). Sprinkle with a lot of cheese and onion and serve with a spoonful of cream on top.

Hope you like them

Hi everyone!
I am trying to search out a recipe I was once told of which involves whipping up glace ginger, marscapone or Philly cream cheese and castor sugar (I think) and sandwiching ginger nut biscuits together with the cheese mix, then enclosing the joined biscuits in the cheese mix. Then it is left to soften.

I haven't used mascapone or I would be keen to experiment, also I want to make it for a surprise Fathers Day cake (in Australia, Fathers Day is the first
Sunday in Sept.) so I can't have any attempts around for the Father in
question to discover!

Does anyone have a recipe, or knowledge of marscapone to advise? I am not
afraid to 'create' a recipe, I do it a lot!

Hi Nancy,
I am in a wheelchair, so I can't do a whole lot of cooking. I am also on a fixed income, so I am looking for 3 or 4 ingredient (maybe a couple more) recipes, that can be fixed in microwave, crock pot, or electric skillet. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank You, Carolyn


No requests, but just wanted to tell you how great your news letters are. I am new and so far found the cake mix recipes I had been looking for plus so many more great things. Thank you for all the work you put into this.

I realize this is off the subject of food but I was wondering if anyone has a recipe for a homemade paint stripper. My aunt wants to refinish her dining room table but she has to strip the old varnish off first. Her friend can't find her recipe and can only remember that it has lye in it.

This is for Jody. YES, you can freeze bananas for Banana Bread, Cakes, Cookies, etc. I usually check out the 'dead ripe' Bananas, bring them home and cut them in chunks. I put two cut up Bananas in a Baggie and freeze. When I need a recipe that calls for Bananas, I just take out a Baggie and I'm all set. Do not freeze 'good' Bananas, only those that are really ripe.
Phyllis from Massachusetts


Thank you Rose for your recipe on Lemon Pudding Cake.  A recipe that was the same or very similar was posted in a recent newsletter.


Nancy:
I thought with your wide array of readers and contributors that a special someone might have a recipe for "homemade wine". I have concord grapes growing and would like to try making some. I would think that you could also substitute peaches, or any other fruit -- possibly even elderberries or watermelon. I've heard that some make it in a 5-gallon bucket; just put the ingredients in and let it go.

I would really appreciate hearing from anyone who might know how to make homemade wine.
Thanks so much for any help. Pam in Illinois

I saw where Sharon in Goshen, Ind wants recipes for Bavarian Wheat Bread, if she goes to ask.com and ask Jeeves he will find a page full of them for her.

To Nancy in Ohio (and all the others), thanks so much for the directions on printing any recipe for the Web-tv. user from the newsletter.
Joyce


Do you publish all recipes that are sent in? I know that I have sent several that have not been posted. Just wondering if you do or if my mail is getting there.
Patricia

Comment
I checked and saw that one of the recipes you  sent in recently was for was for Crunchy Coleslaw that had raimen noodles in it.  Several members had already sent in a recipe that was the same or similar.  To keep down the number of duplicate recipes some recipes are not posted.  On those recipes I try and post the other members that sent in similar recipes.  In your case it was sent in several days later so your name was not included on the list.  There are members that send in a the same recipe or a similar for a request several days after recipes had been posted.  I do not post those.  Posting the same recipe (or similar recipe) over and over would make the newsletter very boring.

Other reasons that recipes not posted are
1.  Have no capital letters.
2.  Are in all capital letters.
3.  Have no punctuation.
4.  Have excessive punctuation. (example  ...... or ------ between each sentence)

Hi Nancy,
I found these chocolate macaroon recipes in my cookie file and wondered if one of them might be what Donna is looking for.

Your newsletter is fantastic! I look forward to reading each issue because I always see something new to try. Keep up the good work!
Norma in PA

Chocolate Macaroons
4 ounces semisweet chocolate, broken into small pieces
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
3/4 cup sugar
2 1/2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
3 large egg whites
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Pinch of salt

Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Bring a small saucepan of water to a boil. Reduce heat, and allow it to simmer. Place chocolate in a small bowl, and set over saucepan. Stir until chocolate is melted, and set aside to cool. In a large bowl, combine cooled chocolate, cocoa, sugar, coconut, egg whites, vanilla, and salt. Use your hands to mix well, completely combining ingredients. Dampen hands with cold water. Form 1 1/2 tablespoons of mixture into a loose haystack shape, and place on prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining mixture, placing macaroons 1 inch apart. Bake until just firm to the touch but still soft in the middle, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove baking sheet from oven to a wire rack, and let cool on baking sheet. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
