For Linda Boyles, in Fairborn Ohio
I've never understood the aversion to using 'spirits' in cooking, because the cooking cooks all the alcohol out of the dish, leaving just the flavor. But, there's no accounting for tastes, so I'd suggest you just use either chicken broth or water.

Think of me on turkey day. I'm an ex-Ohio-an (Struthers, just outside Youngstown).

This is for Ron in Orlando who is looking for the recipe for Salmon Puffs. You are in luck,Ron, as this is one of my familys favorites.

Salmon Puffs
1 large can Salmon, drained (approx.16ozs.)
1 egg
1/3 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 cup flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 1/2 cups cooking oil
Drain the salmon well and reserve 2 Tablespoons of the juice, set aside. In a bowl mix the salmon, egg and onion till sticky. Stir in the flour. Add the baking powder to the salmon juice (it should foam if the baking powder is fresh) and pour into the salmon mixture. Mix together and drop by teaspoonfuls into the hot grease.. they will puff and become lacy. Cook till browned and drain on paper towels. I serve mine with Tartar sauce and scalloped or creamed potatoes, english peas and a salad. We love them.
Hope this is what you are looking for..
Happy cookin'
Barbara in Corsicana,Texas


Hi Nancy and friends,
II went on the website for authors and I got Page cannot be displayed.

Also, for Phyllis in Bethalto, in regards to your Italian Pizzelles. I assume they are to be baked in the oven. What oven temperature and for how long please?
Carolyn, Rochester, New York


Hi there,
My name is Alona, I wanted to send along some recipes from www.thepotatounderground.com, a new blog from the US Potato Board. We are featuring simple mashed and au gratin recipes you can make in your microwave in 10-15 minutes. (See below) I hope you consider them and share them with your readers.

Thanks a lot!
Alona


MASHED:
4 medium Russet, Yukon Gold, or White potatoes, or 6 - 8 Red potatoes
Milk, to taste
Butter, to taste
Salt and pepper, to taste

Step 1
Wash potatoes; peel, if desired. Place the whole potatoes into microwave safe dish. Cover dish. (If covering the dish with plastic wrap, poke a small hole in the plastic.)

Step 2
Place potatoes in microwave. Microwave on HIGH for 8 minutes* or until potatoes are done. Use oven mitts to carefully remove dish from microwave with hot pad, and due to steam build-up, use oven mitts or tongs to remove plastic wrap from dish.

Step 3
Pour contents into bowl and use a potato masher to mash potatoes. Add milk, butter, salt and pepper. Use potato masher to continue mashing potatoes until reaching the desired consistency. Serve.

AU GRATIN:
4 medium Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes
1/2 cup milk, divided
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 cup shredded cheese, divided

Step 1
Slice potatoes thinly (approximately 1/8” thick).

Step 2
Pour enough milk into the microwave-safe dish to just cover the bottom.

Step 3
Lay potato slices on bottom of dish, covering bottom. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Top with shredded cheese.

Step 4
Repeat layering of ingredients until all potatoes have been added to the dish. When final layer of potatoes have been added and seasoned, pour remaining milk over ingredients before adding the last of the cheese.

Step 5
Cover and microwave on HIGH for 10 minutes or until potatoes are done. Carefully remove from microwave and serve.

Dear Pat C,
Thank you for an AMAZINGLY fast response in the Oct. 11th. newsletter for my Cherry Nut Bread request!

Since I've never baked it in my life, only purchased it in bakeries, I can't tell you immediately if this is the recipe or not. However, I am going to bake it ASAP, & will post another reply to let you know (it sounds delicious); not sure if this recipe would hold up to toasting, but sounds like a keeper in any event!

Thanks Again!
Susan from Superior, WI.


Hello Gang,
To Lisa, the Pork Chop & Potatoes recipe of your in Oct. 11 letter is the same that my Mema made every year for our Thanksgiving dinners (along with turkey and all the other stuff). It is delicious-I can vouch for that and anyone who makes it should love it too.

Thanks to Jena in WV-I checked out the AG site and found a lot of great recipes to try. The Lemonade Ginger Chicken will be one I will make soon as DH and I love chicken. I also found this one, and with the holidays coming up, I think I will give it a test run this weekend.

Sweet Potato Puffs
2 pounds sweet potatoes
1/3 c fresh squeezed orange juice
1 T grated orange zest
1 egg-lightly beaten
1/2 t nutmeg
1/2 t vanilla flavoring
1/4 c fine chopped nuts
Pam cooking spray
honey

Preheat oven 375*. Spray a cookie sheet with Pam. Peel and cut potatoes into inch pieces. Put potatoes in a 3 qt saucepot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook 10-15 minutes or until tender. Drain and put in a large bowl. Mash potatoes until smooth. Add remaining ingredients except nuts. Spoon mix onto cookie sheet in 10 mounds, sprinkle with nuts. Bake 30 minutes. Drizzle with honey while warm if desired.

Have a great day Nancy--and thanks for all you do for us.
Mimi in AL ^..^


Hi Folks... this is the way I make gravy for chicken and turkey. I strain the drippings from the bird and pour into another pot. then I add a family sized can of cream of chicken or cream of mushroom soup undiluted and a dash of garlic salt/powder. Bring to a boil. If needed I add some water to get the desired consistency. No one has complained about the gravy and I can make it while Hubby is carving the bird.

In Northern Ontario just south of the French river there is a trading post apparently that makes the most wonderful PUMPKIN FUDGE made from uncooked pumpkin - they probably bake the whole pumpkin in the oven and scrape out the pumpkin to do the fudge -

Has any one on line every made pumpkin fudge this way - A friend asked me if I possibly have a recipe doing it that way - WELL I do not - I would really appreciate it someone has and could send in the recipe -
I don't know what the difference would be from canned to the whole pumpkin but she says it is to die for !!
Thanks Joanne South Western Ontario


Hi Nancy, I Have a question for Phyllis in Bethalto about the Italian Pizzelles: Don't you bake these? Directions just say to mix up but not what to do next!
Billie in Fl


I saw a recipe for Chicken Breasts in Wine submitted by Chris in NM in the Thursday, October 11th email. It doesn't state how much Madeira wine to use. Can someone, or Chris in NM, help. I'd love to try this recipe. It sounds very good.
Thanks. Doris in Pittsburgh, PA


Hi Nancy
Can you post Tona's website again? I must have missed it. Look forward to your newsletter everyday. I've gotten so many wonderful recipes that I would have to live to be 100 or more years old to try them all. Thanks again for all your hard work.
Carolyn, Syracuse


Made Heloise's apricot jam using Sunsweet dried apricots and was disappointed. Both husband and I found it quite flavorless. Mixed half with an equal amount of rhubarb sauce I had on hand and that was an improvement. (I often make strawberry/rhubarb, peach/rhubarb, and raspberry/rhubarb jams as rhubarb seems to enhance fruit flavor much as the addition of salt enhances other foods.)
.
I put the remainder of the apricot jam into our breakfast muffins along with some leftover calamondin puree (a small, sour orange) and some raisins. (Waste not; want not.) The muffins were very good but had no apricot flavor.

Good morning Nancy! Oops I see where I goofed with my CHICKEN BREASTS IN WINE recipe in Thurs. 10/11/07 newsletter! Where I have 1/4 tsp, pepper - I used Madeira should be:

¼ tsp. pepper
½ - ¾ c. dry white wine – I used Madeira

The rest of the recipe is correct! I scanned this recipe in from my 3 in one printer, changed it to Word and didn’t catch that goof before I sent it! This is a great recipe and we will have it again.

Take care Nancy!
Chris in NM


On Tuesday, Oct. 16th, I am going to Austin to see my son and his family. We will be looking for some great places to eat some local cuisine. I am from Oregon, and I love Mexican food, though I know it isn't "Mexican" there. I would love some tips on where to go. Some nice casual places are the best for us.
Thanks for any suggestions!

Linda in NM can you use diet soda (coke Pepsi) in your chicken barbecue recipe?
Mary Ann upstate N Y


This is in response to Mimi in AL regarding her question about wine. I have heard that Aldi's (a chain of discount groceries) has its own brand of wine. My neighbor is always talking about the wine her hubby gets called "Winkin' Al". I don't shop at Aldi's, so not sure about the actual name. However, it is table wine (drinking wine, not cooking wine) that is very cheap at maybe $2 or $2.50 per bottle. I think they are trying to compete w/ the Trader Joe's "Two Buck Chuck" (Charles Shaw wine that is sold for $1.97 to $2.49). I shop at our local Trader Joe's for the many organic products, so know they have inexpensive wine. I'm sure these inexpensive wines would taste much better in cooking than wine that is labeled "cooking wine". Good luck.


Made these for dinner last night and there were no leftovers. Has an unusual flavor.

Root Beer Chicken Fingers
1 cup root beer
1 cup ketchup
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon molasses
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated ginger root
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into long, thin strips
salt to taste
freshly ground black pepper

1. In a small saucepan, combine the root beer, ketchup, Worcestershire
sauce, brown sugar, molasses, garlic, ginger, lemon zest and lemon juice. Bring the mixture to a boil and simmer over low heat for 15 minutes. (This can be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator for
up to 2 weeks.)

2. Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray. Separate the root beer sauce into 2 bowls (one for brushing on the raw chicken and another for serving with the cooked chicken).
3. Season the chicken strips with salt and pepper. Place the chicken on the baking sheet and brush them with the root beer sauce. Bake in the oven until the chicken is thoroughly cooked, about 15 minutes.
4. Serve with the remaining root beer sauce.
Serving Size: 4 chicken strips with sauce

In response to Barb/De question about brining a frozen turkey ... I have never put a completely frozen turkey in the brine, but have put in a slightly still frozen one. And it turned out just fine. I typically buy fresh turkeys for the holidays, which is when I do most of the brining. If I'm using a frozen turkey, I usually smoke it. A couple of years ago, when frying turkeys were all the rage, my family made 3 different turkeys for Thanksgiving ... a brined one, a smoked one, and a fried one. Our favorite by far was the brined turkey. Second choice was smoked. So, ever since then, I've been in charge of the turkey (I think my two sisters voted for mine just so they wouldn't have to cook, lol). We were unimpressed with the fried turkey, but then none of use fry foods at home anyway.
Hope this helps,
Lisa (East Texas)


Hi Nancy and Nancylanders: Had a great time at the country fair in PA. Loved watching the children show off their animals, especially the pigs.

Here are two more TNT recipes from my or my Mom's recipe collection that I am still organizing. Brings back good memories, and also is reminding me to remake these yummy recipes soon.

Easy Rainy Day Meatloaf
1 can (8 oz.) tomato sauce*
1 envelope Sloppy Joe seasoning mix*
1 1/2 pound ground beef
1/2 cup chopped onion (I add more)
2 eggs
2 cups cooked rice
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Mix sauce, seasoning mix, ground beef, onion, and 1 egg. Spread half in a 8 x 5 loaf pan. Combine rice, cheese, and 1 slightly beaten egg; spread over meat. Top with remaining meat mixture. Bake in preheated oven at 400 degrees for about an hour or until ground beef is well done. Let sit out for 10 to 15 minutes; slice and serve. Six servings
* If you can't find dry Sloppy Joe seasoning in a package, substitute canned Sloppy Joe mix for the seasoning and the tomato sauce.


I loved this dessert. Maybe some of you remember it too, or one very similar.

Pistachio Nut Cake
1 box white cake mix
2 sm. pkgs. pistachio instant pudding
4 eggs
1/2 cup oil
1 cup club soda (I have used 7-Up in the past when I didn't have club soda)
1 tsp. almond extract

Combine all ingredients and beat 4 minutes with mixer. Fold in 1/2 cup chopped maraschino cherries and 1/2 cup chopped nuts.

Pour into bundt or tube pan that has been buttered and floured. Bake at 350 degrees for 50 to 55 minutes.
Have a great day! Ginny Lee-upstate NY


I know that people come and go from this site, and that every person who likes the site probably cannot read it every day. I sent this in a while ago, but will repeat it to tell Linda from Ohio that I found a newspaper article about substitutes for wine in cooking.

Use 3 parts white grape juice and 1 part white wine vinegar for a light and dry white wine for poultry dishes, and 3 parts red grape juice blended with 1 part balsamic vinegar to mimic a bull-bodied red wine.( I have tried the alcohol-free wines, and they are terrible!)

Also, someone could not find lady fingers. At Safeway they keep them in the freezer at the bakery. Ask for them there, or at any store. They probably do not sell a lot of them, so they keep them in the freezer.
from Dorothy in WA


In the Oct. 10 n/l Mary in Oregon asked about a replacement for ladyfingers in tiramisu. Mary I have used a pre-baked pound cake bought at, say, Wal-Mart, or an angel food cake. I prefer the pound cake since it is more dense than the angel food cake.

Hey, Mary, I would like to see the recipe from Martha Stewart. Maybe you could share it here if you don't mind. I really like tiramisu.
Barb in OKC

Hello Nancy, and Nancylander's! I have a question. If you don't have ladyfinger's readily available, what is a good replacement? I found a quick recipe for tiramisu on Martha Stewart's Everyday Cooking, and I love this dessert. I have never seen ladyfinger's in my area, and wouldn't know where to begin looking for them. Can anybody help me (I hope!)?
Mary in Oregon

How can you store granulated sugar, if you buy extra bags on sale?? I tried putting them in the freezer, and that did not turn out well, at all. Any ideas??
Thanks, Sue


Hi Nancy. I'd like to send a big thanks to Joan of AR for submitting her Pumpkin Roll recipe. Joan, that was so nice of you. Thank you so very much.
Vicki, thank you also for your suggestion in regards to the Indian Fry Bread question. We tried the Heinz Chili Sauce and knew right away that it wasn't the right topping for that dish. I will definitely try your bean and beef idea when I make them the next time. Thank you very much for your suggestion.
Nancy? Thank you, too. If it wasn't for this newsletter, I wouldn't have any new recipes to make. Thanks for all of the time you spend getting this newsletter together for all of us in the country to use and enjoy.

Hi all!
I know that everyone can not go out and buy new pots, but I must tell you about the best pots to buy. I have found that pots made of 18/10 stainless are the best! Going through menopause and having Fibromyalgia has made me a little, shall we say forgetful! I go online then forget what I am cooking! No matter how burnt on something gets, all I do is soak it in the sink, and voila'!, everything comes right out!

These pots are the best, especially for those of us who are a little forgetful.
Sincerely,
Jeri K. from Glen Cove L.I.


All of the recent recipes for sausage gravy reminds me of a recipe my husband used to ask for frequently, gravy eggs. This is simply hard boiled eggs cut up in a white gravy and served over toast broken into pieces. I used to make 4-6 cups of white sauce (1 Tablespoon of flour mixed with melted butter per cup of milk) and a dozen hard boiled eggs. I would cut the eggs up and add to the gravy when it was thickened--salt and pepper to taste. My family craved this and it helped stretch my food dollars. Lynn in Las Vegas


Hi Nancy,
Regarding the electric pressure cookers - I don't quite understand how they are different from a regular pressure cooker. Are they like a broaster? I and my family have always loved broasted chicken and would be very interested in this if they were like a broaster. Could any of you good cooks out there, tell me how an electric one works? I'd be very interested to find this information out.

Easy and tasty!

Biscuits and gravy
1 lb. breakfast sausage

Cook sausage until well done, breaking up as it cook's. I use a potato masher to break up sausage.

Push sausage to corner of pan, I use a deep chicken fryer in making this. Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of flour. Mix well into sausage grease and brown well. Add milk, little at a time, starting out with about 1 1/2 to 2 cups, stirring continuously, until desired thickness. Add milk if needed to thin. Cook at low heat for abut 10 to 15 minutes.
Place over biscuits.
Enjoy! Rae in Michigan


Hi everyone does anyone have a good chicken salad recipe the kind for sandwiches,,
Thanks Debbie in NC


For CG, Lancaster PA
Todd Wilbur's Top Secret Recipe site has a free clone of the Arby's Bronco Berry Sauce.
http://www.topsecretrecipes.com/
gramaj


In response to Peggy in NELA and the breakfast cookies recipes. No the sausage is uncooked. I have used both regular sausage, spicy and lower fat sausage and liked them all. That is the big reason for putting them on paper towels after you take them out of the oven to absorb any excess grease. I hope you like them as much as we do.
Donna in KS


CG in Lancaster PA asked for a copycat of the Bronco Berry Sauce. I got this one from www.recipelink.com. I like this with stuffed jalepenos that I make.

Arby's Bronco Berry Sauce
3/4 cup water
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup corn syrup
3 tablespoons pectin
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon vinegar
1/4 teaspoon red food coloring(50 drops)
1/8 teaspoon onion powder
1 dash cayenne pepper
1 dash garlic powder
1 dash paprika
1/4 cup minced red bell pepper
1/2 teaspoon minced canned jalapeño peppers

Combine all the ingredients except the bell pepper and minced jalapeñno in a small saucepan. Whisk well. Set saucepan over medium-high heat, uncovered. Add peppers and bring mixture to a full boil, stirring often.

Reduce heat and simmer sauce for 5 to 7 minutes, or until thick. Remove from heat and let sauce sit for about 10 minutes. Stir and cover.

Use sauce when it reaches room temperature or cover and chill until needed.

This recipe yields 1 cup.

To Tona,
About your Orange Sour Cream Cake---do you think it would turn out if it was baked in a regular cake pan instead of a Bundt pan?
Thanks Much KA


Hi Nancy and everyone,
