SALMON BALL CarbsPerServing:25 total recipe Effort:Easy
Ingredients:
1 can salmon (red or pink is more attractive)
2 tablespoons horseradish — mounded, squeezed8 ounces cream cheese — softened
Salt — to taste 1/2 cup nuts — chopped

How to Prepare:
Blend all ingredients except nuts (use a food processor if you want a
smoother texture); chill. Roll in nuts before serving.

Here’s an excellent variation on the traditional cheese ball. It’s
quick and easy to prepare, so providing an elegant-tasting appetizer
for dinner guests doesn’t have to be a chore–the only other thing
you
need is a box of crackers. Note that red or pink salmon lends an
attractive color. You can omit the nuts, if you prefer. The ball
keeps
2 to 3 days. Serves 4-6.

are crushed they make 1 1/2 cups chop in
food processor for best results.1 clove garlic — chopped fine
1 egg 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese 1/4 cup heavy cream

cream if too dry). Deep fry at 350f for 3-4 minutes or until golden
brown. Drain well on paper towels.

    puree of apples on each, moisten the edges of the
    pastry with water, fold one -half over the other,
    making them into half moons, brush with beaten
    egg and bake in a quick oven. They may be varied

    APPLES STEWED IN BUTTER. Take half a dozen good, tart cooking apples greenings or Newt own pippins ; peel, cut in slices about a quarter of an inch thick and core them. Melt an ounce of butter in a spider, and lay in the slices of apples with a quarter of a pound of granula- ted sugar and the juice of a lemon, stew gently over a moderate fire. When done arrange them nicely on a dish, melt a generous tablespoonful of currant jelly in the spider, and when ready to serve mix with it half a glass of Madeira or sherry ; pour over the apples and serve. TO STEAM APPLES Pare and core some good cooking apples, place them in an earthen or granite ware dish that fits in a steamer. Have water boiling in the steamer, set the dish over it, stretch a towel over the top, put on the cover and fold the ends of the towel over it. Steam the apples until tender about twenty min- utes. Take the apples out, measure the juice in the pan and add to it an equal quantity of sugar, flavor with a little lemon juice, cook until thick, put the apples in a glass dish and pour the syrup over them. It will be a jelly when cold. Serve with cream. SCALLOPED APPLES Pare, core and cut in slices some good, tart cook- ing apples, put a layer in a baking dish with sugar, cinnamon and a grating of lemon rind, dot with tiny lumps of butter, then another layer of apples, sugar, etc., and so on until the dish is full. Add a very little water and the juice of a lemon, and use a little more sugar and butter on top than on the other layers. Bake until the apples are thoroughly cooked. Cover until nearly done, when the cover should be removed to allow them to brown. Serve hot with cream or hard sauce. BANANA FRITTERS Half a pint of sweet milk, a scant half pint of flour, two rounded teaspoonfuls of baking powder and a small pinch of salt, stir all together; this should make a batter as thick as that of cake. Roll the pieces of fruit in it with a fork, and drop quickly into boiling fat. The batter should be prepared just as it is wanted and not allowed to stand. Cut three medium-sized bananas into three pieces each and divide each slice lengthwise so that the fruit will be thin enough to cook thoroughly while the batter is browning. This recipe will make eighteen small frit- ters. Put them on a hot platter do not pile up and serve immediately with a fruit sauce.

    MUTTON COLLOPS.

    Cut some very thin slices from a cold leg or the chump end of
    a loin of mutton, sprinkle them with pepper, salt, pounded
    mace, minced savory herbs, and minced shalot. Fry them in
    butter, stir in a dessertspoonful of flour, add half a pint of gravy
    and one tablespoonful of lemon juice, simmer very gently for
    about five or seven minutes, and serve immediately

    STEWED SWEETBREADS.

    Trim some sweetbreads and soak them in warm water till
    quite white, blanch in boiling water, and then put them in cold
    water for a short time. When cold dry them, and put them in
    some well-flavored white stock ; stew for half an hour ; beat up
    the yolks of two or three eggs with some cream, a little finely-
    minced parsley and grated nutmeg, pepper and salt to taste.
    Add this to the sauce, put it on the fire to get quite hot, dish
    the sweetbreads, pour the sauce over, and serve.

    THE WASSAIL-BOWL.

    By those who can afford it, the wassail-bowl should be com-
    posed of sherry, well spiced and sweetened, reeking hot, flavored
    with lemon, and with roasted apples floating on the surface. Ale
    may be substituted for wine for those of inferior resources. ” It
    is a good-natured bowl, and accommodates itself to the means of
    all classes, rich and poor ; you may have it of the costliest wine
    or the humblest malt liquor. But in no case must the roasted
    apples be forgotten.” The lamb’s wool of our ancestors was
    nothing else but the wassail which we are describing. You may
    stir up the compound with a sprig of rosemary, if you wish to be
    baronial in the enjoyment of the admirable beverage.

    MACEDOINE JELLY.

    Ingredients : Two ounces Nelson’s opaque gelatine, five
    lemons, eight ounces white sugar, one pint and a half of water,
    the whites of three eggs, and some fresh fruit. Soak the gela-
    tine in the water for one hour, then add the juice of the lemons,
    the sugar, and the whites of eggs whisked in a little cold water ;
    stir all together gently over the fire until boiling, allow it to set-
    tle a few minutes, then pass through a flannel jelly-bag, pouring
    it, back a few times until quite clear; procure some fresh fruit,
    such as a few grapes, a few cherries, strawberries, greengages,
    and one small apple cut in slices, place them in a jelly mould,
    and stand the mould in cold water ; then pour some of the liquid
    jelly on the top, allow it to set, then fill the mould with the rest
    of the jelly ; place away to set; when required for the table dip
    the mould in warm water for a few seconds, and wipe with a
    cloth and turn on a silver or glass dish before sending to table ;
    place a little fresh fruit round the base of the jelly.

    HAM WITH CURRANT JELLY.

    Put half a glass of currant jelly, a small bit of butter, and a
    little pepper into your sauce-pan ; slice boiled ham very thin,
    and when the jelly is hot put in the ham and leave it only long
    enough to be heated through. Serve on a hot dish.

    IRISH STEW.

    Take about two pounds of chops from a loin of mutton, place
    them in a stew-pan with alternate layers of sliced potatoes and
    layers of chops, and three small onions, and pour in a pint and
    a half of cold water ; cover the stew-pan closely, and let it stew
    gently until the potatoes are ready to mash, and the greater part
    of the gravy is absorbed ; then place it in a dish, and serve it
    very hot.

    GRAVY FOR A ROAST FOWL.

    Boil the neck of the fowl, after having cut it small, in half A
    pint of water, with a seasoning of spice or herbs ; let it stew
    very softly for an hour and a half. When the bird is just ready
    for table, take the gravy from the dripping-pan and drain off the
    fat; strain the liquor from the neck into it, mixing them
    smoothly ; pass the gravy again through the strainer, heat it,
    add seasoning if necessary, and take it hot to table.

    MINCEMEAT.

    Take seven pounds of currants, well picked and cleaned ; of
    finely-chopped beef suet, the lean of a sirloin of beef minced raw,
    and finely-chopped apples Kentish golden pippins each three
    and a half pounds ; citron, lemon peel, and orange peel, cut fine,
    each half a pound ; fine moist sugar, two pounds ; mixed spice,
    an ounce ; the rind of four lemons and four Seville oranges ; mix
    well, and put in a deep pan. Mix a bottle of brandy and white
    wine, and the juice of the lemons and oranges that have been
    grated, together in a basin ; pour half over, and press down tight
    with the hand, then add the other half and cover closely. Some
    families make this one year so as to use it the next. Of course,
    the ingredients may be halved or quartered according to the
    quantity required.

    TO PRESERVE BUTTER.

    Melt it in an earthen vessel, surrounded with warm water.
    Skim the butter until clear, and pour the pure portion off into
    pots, which should be filled to the top and closely covered. A
    little salt may be added before pouring, and should be stirred
    in, afterwards allowing the butter to clear. Or mix two ounces
    of salt with one ounce each of saltpetre and white sugar. Add
    one ounce of this mixture, in fine powder, to each pound of but-
    ter, working it well in. The butter must not be used for a
    month, and the pots containing it must be filled to the brim.

    BLACKBERRY JAM.

    Gather the fruit in dry weather ; allow half a pound of good
    brown sugar to every pound of fruit ; boil the whole together
    gently for an hour, or till the blackberries are soft, stirring and
    mashing them well. Preserve it like any other jam, and it will
    be found very useful in families, particularly for children. It
    may be spread on bread instead of butter ; and even when the
    blackberries are bought, it is cheaper than butter. In the coun-
    try every family should preserve at least half a peck of black-
    berries.

    CHICKEN WITH OYSTERS Stuff a fat young chicken with oysters, add
    two ounces of butter, salt, pepper, and a little mace to taste. Truss carefully and place
    in a tin pail with a tight cover. Stand the pail in a bath of boiling water ; boil an hour

    flakes and place it in a pudding-dish which has been lined with a thin crust. On the
    layer of meat place a layer of sweet red peppers ( seeds removed ) cut in slices ; next, a
    layer of thinly sliced bologna sausage, and so on until the dish is full. Over this pour a
    glass of claret into which has been rubbed two tablespoonfuls of flour. Cover with a
    thin crust of pastry, and bake. ^
