To Carole in the May 25, 2009 newsletter:

Regarding your onions. Three to five lbs. of onions would be a lot of chopped onions to store in your refrigerator, unless of course you do a lot of cooking. I think they would go bad before you used them up. I have worked in restaurants all my life and we always freeze them for long storage. What I do at home is chop them up and put in one layer on cookie sheet and freeze them. When they are frozen put them in as many zip lock bags as you wish and use from the freezer.

Sweet Pickled Watermelon Rind

About 4 qts. cubed watermelon rind
Water
3 tbsp. salt
3 1/2 c. vinegar + 1/2 c. water
6 c. sugar
4 sticks whole cinnamon
1 tbsp. whole cloves

Pare outer green peel from the firm white inner rind of 1 small watermelon, discarding any pink flesh. Cut in 1-inch cubes. Cover with cold water, add the salt and let stand overnight. Drain, rinse with fresh water and drain again. Cover again with fresh water and bring to boiling. Simmer over low heat until cubes are just barely tender: DON'T OVERCOOK. Drain.

Combine the vinegar with the 1/2 cup water; add sugar; tie the spices in a small cloth bag and add. Bring to boiling and cook 5 minutes. Pour over the rind cubes and let stand 24 hours. Drain off the syrup and bring it to boiling, then pour it again over the cubes. Let stand 24 hours. Bring all to boiling and simmer 5 minutes. Fill hot sterilized jars and seal. Makes about 7 pints.

This is for Carole from the May 25 newsletter:
Castor or caster sugar is the name of a very fine sugar in Britain, so named because the grains are small enough to fit though a sugar "caster" or sprinkler. It is sold as "superfine" sugar in the United States.

Because of its fineness, it dissolves more quickly than regular white sugar, and so is especially useful in meringues and cold liquids. It is not as fine as confectioner’s sugar, which has been crushed mechanically (and generally mixed with a little starch to keep it from clumping).

If you don’t have any castor sugar on hand, you can make your own by grinding granulated sugar for a couple of minutes in a food processor (this also produces sugar dust, so let it settle for a few moments before opening the food processor). You can also purchase castor sugar online.

This is for Debbi in So. Oregon from the
May 25 newsletter:

Mango Salsa
2 ripe mangos
1/2 lime (organic if you use the zest please)
1 red onion
1/2 white onion(or as much as you desire)
salt, sugar (pinches)
cilantro

dice the mangos and scoop the juice up that gets on the cutting board-dump it all into a pretty bowl
dice the onions and put with mangos, add pinch of sugar, 2 pinches of salt add chopped fresh cilantro or pinch of dried

Mix it up so they get to know each other!
squeeze that lime so all the juice goes onto the mixture add zest if organic! (waxes can be very dirty and ewwy) mix again, gently, and enjoy with chips or with beans or chicken!
This is terrific made the night before, as all the flavors mingle together..yum.

This is for Vicki S. from the May 25 newsletter about frying fish:
It is best to use an iron skillet. Make sure the oil is hot before putting the fish in it to cook. Also make sure you have enough oil in the skillet. Of course now that I am blind, I always deep fry my fish. Even if you choose to deep fry your fish, make sure the oil is hot enough before you put the fish in the oil.

This is for Linda C in the May 25th 2009 newsletter.

Refrigerated Watermelon Pickles
Don't throw away the rind; it makes swell pickles. This version skips all the careful procedure involved in regular canning, so the pickles must be kept refrigerated, and even then for only about 2 weeks. (But they'll be gone long before that.) Makes about 4 cups.

Rind from about half of a full-size watermelon
3/4c. sugar
1 c. vinegar
2 sticks cinnamon
1 tsp. whole cloves

Trim away all (or almost all) of the pink flesh, leaving only the whitish rind and the green peel.

Now trim away the peel; this is necessary, but it's a little time-consuming. I recommend cutting the rind into inch-square chunks first, then standing each on end and using a sharp knife to trim off the peel. (I've seen suggestions that you use a vegetable peeler on large sections of rind, and then cut them into pickle-size, but I find the peeler doesn't work very well on watermelon.)

In a medium saucepan, stir together the sugar, vinegar, cinnamon sticks and cloves. Stir in the watermelon pieces.

Bring to the boil over high heat, stirring frequently. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the pickles are tender and more-or-less translucent, about 45 minutes.

Cool. Store pickles and liquid together, refrigerated, in clean, closed glass jars. For best flavor, let rest at least 12 hours before serving.
*can be put into a water bath for canning.

Nancy, in your salad recipe, do you drain the pineapple, are put juice in. I wasn't sure! I thought if you put the juice in, it might make it soupy.
Betty T. Ga.

Comment
Yes you do drain the pineapple.

This is a casserole that my family loves. I've made it a few times now. Always get rave reviews.

Tostada Casserole
1 pound ground beef
2 1/2 cups corn chips
1 envelope taco seasoning
1 (16 oz) refried beans
1 (16 oz) tomato sauce
Shredded cheddar cheese

Brown beef in a skillet, stirring until crumbly; drain. Add taco seasoning and 3/4 of tomato sauce (just eyeball it). Mix well. Line a 7x11 inch baking dish with 2 cups whole corn chips. Crush remaining corn chips and set aside. Spread beef over chips. Mix remaining tomato sauce with the refried beans and spoon over the beef. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. Sprinkle with cheese and crushed corn chips. Bake 5 minutes longer, or until cheese is melted. ( I use about a cup to a cup and a half of cheese)

I also added a small can of diced green chilies to the tomato sauce and refried beans. Gives it a spicy little kick. We love this stuff. Reminds us of a "walking taco".

Combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and margarine; press firmly into bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Set aside. In large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until fluffy. Gradually beat in condensed milk until smooth. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Measure out 1/3 cup of chopped candy and reserve; mix the rest of the candy into the cream-cheese mixture. Pour cream-cheese mixture into prepared pan and bake 1 hr, 5 min., or until center is set; remove from oven and set on a rack to cool.

Vickie S, I have never eaten fish with the skin on. It is always filleted first and skinned. I like to bake fish in the oven with a little lemon and butter. When I do fry it, I coat it in corn meal first and then lightly fry. Always make sure your oil is hot before you put your fish in. It won’t stick that way. Fish is very fragile, so gently use a spatula to turn the pieces with. Good luck!

This is in response to Debbie in So. Oregon who requested a Mango salsa recipe. I know this came from Dennis Weaver, but don't know when. It is very very good.

This was how I copied the recipe.

Mango Salsa
This is another recipe that allows the cook to experiment. We have added corn kernels, drained black beans, chives, and more. Adjust the sweet and sour combination to taste by adding more honey or more lemon or lime. When we make this for fish, we prefer a tarter salsa. Change the seasoning if you like.

1 mango, peeled and diced
1/2 red bell pepper, diced
1 slice red onion, finely diced
several sprigs cilantro, snipped ( I like more)
1 tablespoon olive oil
juice from one lime or 1/2 lemon
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons honey or 1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 pinch allspice
black pepper to taste

Add the mango, bell pepper, red onion, and cilantro to a small bowl. Stir in the olive oil, juice, salt, honey, and allspice. Pepper to taste. Refrigerate while you make dinner. Serve with chicken, fish, or pork dishes.

Hey Nancy and 'Landers! Yes Ditto, you too!

I know it has been quite a while since I posted anything! But between the kids, and the kitties, work, and other things, I have barely had time to read the newsletters!

To Carole about chopping up onions; I always buy a 3-5 pound bag of onions and chop them all up, put in ziploc bags, and freeze! The onions come out perfectly, and I usually add them to whatever I am cooking frozen. I have never had a problem doing this! Hope it helps! I also wanted to share a recipe that I tried last night, it was soooo yummy! My Husbands grandmother gave me the recipe, no idea where she got it!

Angel Chicken
6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves, 1 1/2 lb
8 ounces baby portabella mushrooms, sliced
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup butter
1 package Italian salad dressing mix
1 can golden mushroom soup
1/2 cup dry white wine
4 ounces chive and onion cream cheese
Cooked rice or pasta, to serve

Place chicken, mushrooms and onions in a 3 1/2 to 4-quart slow cooker. Melt butter in a medium saucepan; stir in the Italian dressing mix. Stir in soup, white wine, and cream cheese until combined; pour over chicken. Cook covered on low-heat setting for 4 to 5 hours. Serve chicken and sauce over
cooked rice or pasta.
Serves 6.

Hope you enjoy it! Nancy, Thankyou for all you do! You are a lifesaver! Give lots of love to Ditto for me, and Tristan and Nermal say purrrr!

Nancy, in a recent newsletter, Carole was asking about Castor Sugar. In the USA this is called “superfine” sugar. If you can’t find it, you can make your own by grinding granulated sugar for a couple of minutes in a food processor.

Also, someone had inquired about a program that I mentioned, called Nutribase. Their website is Nutribase.com and if anyone looks at it, there is a square on the left side of the page with the different versions available, you want to click on “NB8 Junior”. All the others are terribly expensive. This is a wonderful, powerful nutrition and fitness software. (I don’t work for them, just a pleased customer.) I recently sent in the link for the Recipematic.com to calculate nutrition in a recipe, but since sending it in and using it a little, it doesn’t do very well on anything but a very small recipe.

Vicky S
When frying fish the oil in the fry pan MUST BE HOT. Almost smoking. First dredge the fish in a light coating of flour.

If you have access to WONDRA flour it works the best because it is finely milled and made especially for dredging. I little goes a long way.

Also, if you attempt to turn the fish too soon from the skin side to the flesh side it will break apart. When placing fish in hot oil leave it until the edges are almost golden. This will take a few minutes. Only then can you flip the fish to the other side for the remainder of the cooking time. You will find that when you flip it to the other side you will only need to cook it another minute or two. It should be slightly crisp from the flour on the outside and moist and tender on the inside. Perfect for enjoying.
Judy/Buffalo


To the woman asking about the Fluffy Roll recipe. I checked the recipe and it is correct. I have not made these, so don't know how they will turn out.
Sorry, Barb in Fl.


This is in reply to Vickie S who needed advice in the May 25th newsletter about frying fish.

I would guess that your oil is not hot enough and/or not deep enough. I mostly use a deep fryer for convenience - heat the oil in your fryer or pan so that when you place your breaded fish in it will seal the coating - I don't use a thermometer so I can't give you degrees.

Hi there Nancy, Ditto and recipe pals,

Re: Recently a came across several recipes using CASTER sugar. The grocery stores nor the health food stores have ever heard of it. CAN YOU HELP!!!!!!
Thanks, Carole.

Carole - Caster sugar is a finer ground of sugar that regular (A1?) sugar. You can use regular sugar, but it may end up a bit grainy or place the regular sugar in your blender and grind it down a bit - but - be careful you don't make powered sugar (icing sugar). Hope this helps.
Greeting from Elizabeth, Bendigo, Australia.

Nancy,
I use AOL and I received both versions of your newsletter on Sunday - one with and one without the quote.

I should add that I do not have AOL installed on my computer, but use netmail (aol.com) instead. I worked as a technical rep for AOL for several years and still maintain several email addresses I used then, but don't use the rest of the program. I don't know if that makes any difference in the problems your readers are having, but I get every newsletter.

AOL has changed and evolved so much over the years that I can't begin to tech this problem, but everyone should be sure that the correct address for the newsletter is listed in their contacts, and they should also check spam or junk mail folders. If your email settings are to delete spam rather than throw it in the spam folder, then that might be the problem.

Hope this helps a little.

I am looking for a Tamale Pie recipe. I had a really good one and lost it. I remember it had creamed corn in it.

AOL Mail
Other than an occasional day here or there I have not had trouble getting the newsletter-via AOL. If I don't see it I go to the archives or link and check, and if it's there I open it. Strangely doing that seems to trigger the letter to come into my inbox as I am reading it-(you get that sound of a new e-mail, and there it is.) Wonder if they monitor that sort of thing but it has happened more than once so ...... Cheryl, Charlotte

Hello to all you good cooks!
I bought some plants that said they were Chinese cabbage. I have them planted and they are beautiful. Growing quite well. Here is my problem??? What do I do with them? I went to the grocery store and looked at bok choy and my plants don't look like this, I thought they were the same. My plants are beginning to head and have the white stems on the bottom. Mine are not as tall as the ones in the grocery. May need to wait a little longer and see what happens. But either way I still don't know what to do with them. LOL I just thought they were pretty and green so I got them. I have planted some egg plants for the first time too. Can't wait to cook them either! But this Chinese cabbage is a mystery to me. I love salads if I can use it that way. I appreciate any help.
Dean, Tennesssee


Hi Nancy and all,
Your recipe for frozen strawberry salad sounds delicious, but before making it, I wanted to make sure if the strawberries and pineapple need to be drained or not. Thanks, Karen, Il

Comment
Yes, the strawberries and pineapple are drained.
Nancy Rogers


To Carol from 5/25/09 Newsletter Regarding chopped onions.

I always chop 2 or 3 onions at a time, put them in Ziploc bags and then bag again and freeze. Whenever I need onion, I pull out a baggie and I have fresh onion. It keeps a long time and is very tasty! Hope this helps you.
Mary in Phx, AZ


To Carole wondering about castor sugar. This is known as superfine sugar. It is not as powdery as powdered sugar, but close. It is usually used in frostings or recipes where if you used regular white sugar, it would not "dissolve" into the mixture, and would be grainy. The exact same results can be gotten by putting regular white sugar into a blender until it is superfine. Hope this helps.
Lindsey in the U.P.

I would not use a crust for the Fruited Jello Pie. Actually, it does not need it. The 6" glass pie plates that I have condenses the fruit into each slice so nothing else is needed except the whipped cream or cool whip on top.

Just made some for Memorial Day with fresh cherries (pitted) and cherry jello. Also, one with canned drained diced peaches and peach jello). They went in a flash. Even the men were looking for seconds. Enjoy. Judy/Buffalo


A while back some ome asked for a non ketchup based BarBque sauce. My parents used this one while I was growing up. I finally got it our of them. They use it in chicken. I use it on baked chicken the other day becuase it was raining and it worked wonderfully. I thought I would share this.

Gold Rush Barbecue Sauce
½ stick margarine
½ Cup mustard
2 Tbs. ketchup
½ tsp. cayenne pepper
Few shakes garlic powder
Dash of salt
1 to 2 tsp. Worcestershire Sauce
1 tsp. lemon juice

This makes only a small amount of sauce, so you may need to double or triple amounts. Also, you may want to adjust amounts to the taste you desire

Also I am looking for a different kind of salad dressing. I am growing a lot of stuff for a good salad and want something different to serve with it. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
