Today I made the
two ingredient fudge,
bag of chocolate morsels, and one chocolate frosting tub. It
hardened so quickly. Have any of you ever put the frosting
in the microwave, for a very brief warming? If so for what
length of time?
When using peanut butter morsels, do you add any peanut
butter to the morsels? Thank you for your immediate
reply....
Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy New Year to one and
all...

I love the
two ingredient fudge.
It is so easy to make. I have found if you use a full 12
ounces of real chocolate and the Betty Crocker brand (not
the whipped) frosting the fudge turns out just right. Most
of the newer packages of chocolate chips are now less than
12 ounces. In my opinion, the best tasting chocolate
real chocolate chips and real wafers are from the
Prepared Pantry.
(Just a suggestion, get more than you need because my
biggest problem with both the chips and the wafers is I tend
to eat them before they are made into fudge.

Hello, Nancy:
In the Dec. 16 newsletter Pam from Maine told of her
experience with the
two ingredient fudge
and the problem with the pan she used. I use my Pampered
Chef 6-cup measuring cup, and it has worked fine so far and
I have used it at least a dozen times for the fudge. In
fact, I made a batch today and it worked well.
Thank you, Nancy for working so hard on this newsletter for
our enjoyment each day. Merry Christmas to you.

Christmas Gift Ideas for the Baker
Happy Holidays to everyone in Nancyland. I have a problem
finding my recipe for pickled cucumber and onion salad. I
had it out on the counter where i could see it and now it's
nowhere to be found. I guess it was picked up and put in the
trash. Looked through the bags, but was not to be found. Can
anyone help? Thank you if you can.

This is to Anita in Camarillo regarding her
too spicy chili.
The first thing that came to my mind is to give it to a
place of charity; I would think they would be more than glad
to have it. Perhaps they would have to make more, but that
is their problem, not hers. I personally would not want to
throw it away. I have eaten chili over baked potatoes and
loved it. One can serve it over spaghetti (spaghetti red).
Maybe she has a neighbor that likes really spicy food. Food
is too expensive to waste. Churches sometimes serve food to
street people. Good luck on finding a way to use this chili.
Sorry, Anita, I know how disappointing it can be to mess up
a dish. I certainly have done it myself.

Susie asked about a
gingerbread spice mix for a woman from
Germany.
I entered "German gingerbread spice" into Google and found
the following recipe. I am also including one of the
reviews, which makes me think this recipe is authentic. The
recipe is from about.com.
What is in Lebkuchen Spices?
Yield: 3 1/2 Tablespoons
2 T. ground cinnamon
2 tsp. ground cloves
1/2 tsp. ground allspice
1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp. ground coriander
1/2 tsp. ground cardamom
1/2 tsp. ground ginger
1/2 tsp. ground anise seed
1/2 tsp. ground star anise
If you have whole spices (which have a longer shelf life),
place the spices in a cleaned out knife coffee grinder (one
that looks like a food processor inside, not a burr grinder)
and grind until fine.
Sift the ground spices through a fine sieve to remove large
pieces and add to other ground spices.
When your spices are ground, mix them together thoroughly
and place in an airtight container to store.
Use 1 to 2 tablespoons per recipe.
Also, see here for more information about how to buy
Lebkuchen Spice and possible substitutions.
Great recipe!, Member KitchenFairy61
For years I've purchased the packets of Alba Neunerlei spice
mix. This year I found this recipe and decided to make my
own. Being a from-scratch cook, making my own spice mix just
seemed natural. You really do need to have the knife blade
style coffee grinder as it works great. Also make sure that
you have a really fine sieve to get any chunks out. Once I
ground the whole spices, I mixed in the already ground
spices and ran the whole batch through the grinder again to
fully incorporate all of the spices. It is worth it to buy
an extra coffee grinder to grind your own spices. Trust me!

Also, Anita in Camarillo asked for suggestions about
taming
too-spicy chili. I had this problem recently and solved it
by making half of the chili recipe with no extra spices and
adding it to the original batch. Since you are considering
throwing it out and starting over anyway, you might as well
give this a try. In doing my research to solve the problem,
I also noted that sugar added to the chili will take out
some of the fire. I did not try the sugar method.

Sally's Fudge Recipe
At Christmas time (and sometimes throughout the year) I make
about 20 pounds of fudge for my grandchildren to put on
plates and give away as gifts. (I keep some also) but it is
always a hit. They are now grown and still want the fudge
for gifts.
1 (18oz package) of milk chocolate chips (also good with
Reese’s Peanut Butter Chips just use two 10 oz packages)
1 can sweetened condense milk
Nuts (optional)
Grease a 9x9 pan with butter (bottom and sides)
Combine the chips and milk in a saucepan. Melt together over
a very low heat stirring constantly. When melted and mixed
together you can add nuts of any kind and pour into pan. Let
it set for 2 hours or more. Turn out on a cutting board and
cut into 1 inch squares. This fudge is so silky smooth.
This can be microwaved but I like doing it in a pan on low
heat and stirring constantly (about 5 minutes)

Hi Nancy, Re: Anita in Camarillo request about
spicy chili,
(12-16/N/L.
I have split my recipe after discovering the chili to spicy,
added more ingredients to tone it down. If the chili has oil
on it or seems to greasy, add a small amount of prepared
mustard (about one half teaspoon to a fairly large serving
bowl) this suggestion was given me many years ago by an
elder co-worker, I was skeptible I tried it and it really
works, plus there is no mustard taste. This was from the
same gentleman who told me to coat bacon with small amount
of flour to keep it flat as it cooked in fry pan.

For Susie who is trying to help a friend find where she can
buy gingerbread spice mix(12/16 newsletter,. amazon.com
sells edora Lebkuchen Gewurz Gingerbread Spices) 1 - .05oz.
Just go to amazon.com and type gingerbread spice mix in the
search box. You can also visit the site of the manufacturer
of the spice at their web site, www.edora.net/englisch/ The
site is primarily in German and I had some problems with the
English tab, so if I were ordering I would probably just buy
from Amazon. I hope this helps.

In the 1216 newsletter Anita in Camarillo wanted ideas on
what to do with her too spicy chili. I would make a second
batch without any of the spices and combine the two batches.
You might have far more chili than you will eat at one meal,
so freeze part of it. chili freezes well and it will be
great to have on hand for a day when you don't have time to
cook. I have read that adding a few tablespoons of smooth
peanut butter will tone down the hotness of any dish, but
have never personally tried this. Good Luck.
Robbie IN
To solve Anita’s too spicy chili I would suggest making a
second batch eliminating the spice in the second batch and
then combining them. If it is only a little too zippy,
perhaps just adding an extra can of beans or more of
whatever tomato. products she uses would alleviate the extra
heat. Boiling a potato might absorb some also as I have used
that trick when I have overly salted. I would not waste it
for sure.
Nana in SE Ohio.
Hi Robbie,
I am interested in your recipe for
Crockpot Smoked Sausages
With Potatoes and Cabbage which was posted in the 12/16
newsletter. My question is: Do you cook the sausage before
putting it into the slow cooker?
Warmest wishes to you and your family for a happy and
healthy holiday season!

For Anita in Camarillo. For chili to spicy, I would try using a
small whole Irish potato, let it simmer with the chili for maybe an
hour, or so. I have used the peeled potato in cooking, when I had
something too salty.

Hi Nancy,
Know that everyone is so busy getting ready for Christmas this year.
And I am more behind than I've ever been - must be that thing called
"age"
This is a generic thank you to everyone who was nice enough to send
in tips for cutting the fudge. I wanted to wait until we actually
cut it - that was today - to try all of them - had printed them as
they came in.
What worked best for us was using a chef's knife and when needed
wiping it off with a paper towel wrung out well after a hot water
bath. We worked out a system this year where David cut the fudge and
I packaged it -he never realized how much work it was until today.
HA! He said this would be the last year - but I hope not cuz love
doing it
Think we should cut down the list a bit though
We made 36 lbs and today packed up 34 boxes - they still need to be
tied with gold cord and get his David's World Famous Fudge sticker
on them.
Someone had asked for favorite flavors - this year they were -
White chips, Cream Cheese frosting, dried cranberries (infused with
orange - hard to find - plain ones will do) and walnuts
And then White chips, lemon frosting, candied pineapple cut up
finely, coconut and almonds - with rum flavoring
And then White chips, Cream cheese frosting, candied mixed fruit,
chopped nuts (pecans are good) extra candied cherries and again rum
flavoring
But it changes from year to year
Oh also, one friend especially likes coffee - which is Chocolate
chips, chocolate frosting and 4-5 packets of Starbucks Via stirred
in - nuts are optional but very good
We experimented for 2 years to find the right amount of espresso
powder and this is about it - any less gets "lost"
So - sorry for the late thank you but just wanted to do a test - and
this is what worked well for us.
THank you to all of you.
Merry Christmas, Nancy - and God's blessings to all of you as well
as a Merry Christmas.

Re: Too Spicy Chili
Anita, I would add all other ingredients and no spices again. You
would be making double but it would cut down on the spices and then
freeze what you want and that way it won't be wasted. Outside of
that I'm not sure how you could recover it. Anxious to see what
others have to save. Linda D. Topeka, Ks
Wanted to add to
Robbie's Chex mix. Just made this, with my
Granddaughter's help, and we used almond bark 4 pk and l more 16oz
M&M's and used all the dry ingredients up. That way I had plenty for
the family and to give it away. Also my sister's recipe calls it
Reindeer Trash.
