* Exported from MasterCook * Paper Bag Apple Pie Recipe By : Shirley Johnston Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Desserts Volume 3, Dec. '98 Apples Pies & Tarts Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 1 9 inch pie shell ***FILLING*** 1/2 cup sugar 2 tablespoons flour 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 5 large baking apples -- sliced 2 tablespoons lemon juice ***TOPPING*** 1/2 cup sugar 1/2 cup flour 1/2 cup butter For the filling: Combine sugar, flour, cinnamon and sprinkle over apple slices. Mix together well and spoon into pie shell. Drizzle with the lemon juice. For the topping: Combine sugar, flour and butter until crumbly. Sprinkle over apples to cover. Put pie in large brown paper bag; fold over twice and fasten with paper clips. Place on a cookie sheet for easier handling. Bake 1 hour at 425 degrees. Remove from paper bag and serve with ice cream, whipped cream or top with slice of cheese. Notes:Mary Aslanis of Redlands warned cooks not to be concerned that the paper bag will burn; it won't. But the paper bag will get browner and there will be a slight odor from this. By putting the pie in a paper bag the topping will be a little different from the usual crumb topping on apple pies. For best tasting results, bake the pie on the day you plan to serve it. The topping tends to lose its crumbly feature on the second day but still tastes good. All contributors stressed using a UNRECYCLED paper bag and sealing it shut (after sliding the pie in) with staples or paper clips. NO PEEKING UNTIL PIE IS DONE as this is the secret of the pie. If the bag is recycled, that will be printed on the bag. recipe from http://www.inlandempireonline.com/food/cook-and-tell/index.shtml Formatted and Posted to FareShare 12/98 by JoAnn Pellegrino - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

'98 Cheese Cream Cheese Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 1 large package cream cheese -- softened 1 jar salsa shredded Monterey Jack or cheddar cheese or a combination Doritos Spread the cream cheese in the bottom of a microwave safe dish. Spread the salsa over it. Place a layer of the shredded cheese over the salsa. Microwave on high about 4 minutes or until all the cheeses are melted. Use the Doritos to scoop up this tasty delight. I prefer the salsa to have a little heat to it but it's a matter of personal taste. Posted to FareShare 12-98 by Grazie <GAdams1350@aol.com> - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

* Exported from MasterCook * Pesto Torte Recipe By : Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Appetizers Cheese Cream Cheese Volume 3, Dec. '98 Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 3/4 pound cream cheese -- room temp. 3/4 cup ricotta cheese 3/4 cup butter -- room temperature 1 cup prepared pesto sauce crackers Blend cheeses and butter with an electric mixer until fluffy. Line mold or dish with saran wrap. Layer cheese and pesto. Chill, unmold and serve with crackers.
(Serves 12) This is often made in a small quiche dish so you can get several layer going. When you unmold it, you can decorate the top with a star or wreath design in pesto which you can apply using a plastic stencil, or even dropping it through the center of a hollow cookie cutter. I use an old-fashioned contraption which is a cone-shaped colander on a tripod. I suspect it was for making jelly or cheese in its previous life. But for me it is the ideal mold for making my traditional Pesto Christmas tree. First I double the recipe. I line the cone with plastic wrap and spritz my hands with water before placing first a small cone-shaped piece at the bottom. Then add a dab of Pesto. Next a small disk, layed gently over the pesto, then more pesto. Keep alternating until you have a small tree. Top with a slice of Star Fruit, skewered on a pick and place on a pedestal dish.

* Exported from MasterCook * Poached Kumquats Recipe By : marketreport.com Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Citrus Fruit Volume 3, Dec. '98 Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- kumquats simple sugar syrup Kumquats are a springtime citrus fruit with a unique attribute. Unlike other citrus fruits, their skin is actually sweeter than the tart pulp inside, says Wemischner. To poach kumquats, use a lighter syrup made with two parts water to one part sugar. And cook them for half an hour or until they are tender. You can also poach them in aromatic honey and ginger, says Wemischner. Serve the kumquat syrup over vanilla ice cream with crushed toasted pine nuts, "a very Mediterranean, Spanish treatment." Alternatively, use almonds instead of pine nuts. The syrup can also be used as a basis for an ice cream or sorbet.
