Guest guest Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 The following recipe is from Stephen Lee, and was originally published in the Sept/Oct '02 Essential Herbal. He often serves it at Thanksgiving as a good alternative for vegetarians. Cinderella's Lasagna in a Pumpkin Coach 10 - 6 " diameter pumpkins - pie or sugar 2 cups vegetable broth 1/4 cup butter, unsalted 1 large onion, yellow - sliced thin 2 Tbsp. Tarragon, fresh - minced 1 Tbsp. brown sugar, dark 2 cups Almonds, toasted - chopped fine 2 tsp. Kosher salt 1 tsp. white pepper - freshly ground 24 5 " x 5 " sheets pasta, fresh or equivalent lasagna noodles 1 cup bread crumbs - dry 1 cup Parmesan cheese - freshly grated 1 cup Ricotta cheese Cut tops off of pumpkins and reserve. Scrape and discard the seeds and strings from the pumpkin interiors. Place pumpkins with tops laying aside on a greased, parchment-lined baking sheet and roast, in a preheated 350 degree oven for about an hour just until the pumpkin meat becomes tender. Remove pumpkins from oven and let rest until cool enough to handle. Remove all the pumpkin meat from 4 of the pumpkins, reserving to a bowl, and discard the shells. Remove and reserve most of the meat from the remaining pumpkins, leaving just enough to allow the pumpkins to hold their shape. Puree the pumpkin meat in a food processor with the vegetable broth and reserve. Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat, add the onions and cook for 3 minutes, then add the tarragon and brown sugar, and cook for 2 minutes more, stirring occasionally. Add the pumpkin puree, mix well and bring to a boil. Remove from heat; add the almonds and season with salt and pepper. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add the pasta sheets or lasagna noodles and cook just until al dente. Drain and put a little of the pumpkin sauce over the pasta to keep them from sticking together. To assemble: Place a pasta sheet into the bottom of each pumpkin, cover with a few spoons of the sauce and a sprinkling of bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese. Top with a little of the ricotta cheese. Continue with this layering in the same fashion finishing with a top of ricotta cheese. Choose the 6 nicest roasted pumpkin tops and place one back onto each pumpkin, discarding the rest. Place pumpkins onto a lightly greased, parchment-lined baking sheet and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 20 minutes. Remove the pumpkins from the oven and allow to sit for 10 minutes. Serve warm.

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Alrighty, here is one of my favorites, it isn't mine though and I don't remember whose it is. Sorry, I can't take credit for it, but I love it and have had many people ask for this recipe. CRANBERRY PIE 2 cups cranberries, cut in half 1/2 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional) 2 eggs, well beaten 1 cup sugar 1 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 cup butter or oleo, melted 1 pie crust for 10 " pie pan Combine cranberries, brown sugar and walmuts together. Spread the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pie shell. Beat eggs well; gradually add the sugar; continue beating. Stir in flour and melted butter. Pour batter over the berries in the pie shell. Cover edges of pie crust with foil and bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees, remove foil and bake 35 minutes longer. Serve with ice cream, if desired. I will find one of my Mom's for Cranberry mousse, which is so yummy also. Michele Christine Ziegler <chrisziggy wrote: Ok, lets see those holiday recipes!

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Here is the Cranberry Mousse Recipe, gotten from Mom, but not hers, no idea where she got it. Note: You don't have to use fat free sour cream or the sugar free jello. This is another one that I get asked for the recipe on. Cranberry Mousse 1 can (20 oz.) crushed pineapple in juice 1 package of 6 oz. sugar free cranberry (or strawberry) jello 1 cup water 1 can whole berry cranberry sauce (I make my own) 3 T. fresh lemon juice 1 tsp. grated lemon peel 1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg 2 cups fat free sour cream 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional or can use different nut ie walnuts) Drain pineapple well, reserving juice. Add juice to gelatin in 2 quart saucepan. Stir in water. Heat to boiling to dissolve gelatin. Remove from heat. Blend in cranberry sauce. Add lemon juice, lemon peel and nutmeg. Chill until mixture thickens slightly. Blend sour cream into gelatin mixture. Fold in pineapple and pecans. Pour into 2 quart dish or mold. Chill until firm. Serves 8.

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Here is a wonderful recipe for a salad, although it is more " dessert " than " salad. " White Cherry Salad Beat 4 eggs until light; stir in the juice of 1 lemon, and 1 1/2 teaspoons mustard. Beat well; add 1/2 cup milk. Boil until thick like custard, stirring constantly. Cool. Add 1 pound package small marshmallows; 1 large can Royal Anne White cherries (drained), and 4 ounces sliced almonds. Beat 1 pint whipping cream until stiff; add to cool mixture. Set at least overnight in the refrigerator. Serves 20 (yeah, right!) Okay....now I take liberties with this. I grate the lemon rind (no white) into the cooked mixture. As Royal Anne cherries are frightfully expensive (even here in Washington State), I add seedless grapes that I have cut in half. I also sometimes add red and green maraschino cherries that I have quartered. And I ALWAYS add way more almonds than the recipe calls for. I add sliced almonds that I have toasted. M-m-m-m-m-m!!! Enjoy this recipe, and have a wonderful holiday. Barb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 We always served Cranberry Ice with the dinner. Absolutely no one turns this down. All measurements are approximate, depending on water and sugar content of cranberries. Place a pound (more or less) of cranberries in a pot with a little water. Turn on the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the berries are popped. Let cool a little and strain to remove skins. Sweeten to taste with sugar. Put in the ice cube trays with dividers removed or loaf pans. Put into the freezer. Stir and mix several times while freezing. To serve, put into fancy small glasses, cut glass cups or stem glasses. Whatever you have that is pretty. Goes fantastic with turkey. Enjoy!
