[Ohio-Talk] Recipes from the Sharing Solutions meeting last evening

[Barbara Pierce]

I was asked to circulate thee following recipes. We had a great time trading recipes and telling each other about our Coved-restricted Thanks Giving plans. Cheryl, I will be sending these files to you because people thought that they all belonged in the cookbook that Community Service is planning. Here they are. I will try adding the files as Word attachments, but I doubt that it will work. So here they are below:

Key Lime Pie

 

Ingredients:

1 9-inchh graham cracker crumb crust

8 ounces cream cheese, softened

1 can Eagle brand sweetened condensed milk

1 cup key lime juice

 

Method: Combine cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, and key lime juice. Mix well. Pour into pie shell. Chill to set well, several hours, before serving.

 

Note: To be true key lime pie, you must find and use key lime juice. Yu can probably find it on the Internet. You certainly can find it in Florida. If you fail in this quest, use reconstituted lime juice and keep the secret. I am sure that this pie will still be delicious. At least Shirley Patterson swears by it.



Frozen Cranberry Mold

 

Ingredients:

1 pound fresh cranberries, the current package is 12 ounces, which works

1 pint orange juice

1 cup or less sugar

Juice of two lemons

 

            Cook cranberries in orange juice till berries pop. Sieve mixture to remove seeds and skins. Dissolve sugar in orange juice mixture and stir in lemon juice. Pour mixture into a mold and freeze. Unmold and serve immediately with dinner.



Cranberry Quick Bread

 

Ingredients:

4 cups flour, try half whole wheat

1 1/2 cups brown sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

2 teaspoons ground cardamom

1 teaspoon ground cloves

1 teaspoon orange zest

1 cup orange juice concentrate

1/2 cup boiling water

4 tablespoons shortening or margarine

2 eggs

2 cups fresh cranberries

1 cup chopped nuts, optional

 

            Combine dry ingredients and orange zest. Melt the margarine in hot water and add concentrate and beaten eggs. Toss berries and nuts with dry ingredients and then add the liquid. Stir to moisten all dry ingredients. Bake in two prepared bread pans or small loaf pans at 325 for up to 1 1/4 hours, till a toothpick comes out clean. Remove from pans and cool on racks. Serve with 1 cup butter whipped with 1/4 cup packed brown sugar and 1/4 cup orange juice concentrate.

It is also delicious without the flavored butter.

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise expectations for blind people because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and their dreams. You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.
