Included them all since the cooking method was different in each recipe, and I wasn't sure which one you wanted. Lisa (East Texas) SWEET POTATO BALLS 6 medium sweet potatoes 1/2 c. nuts marshmallows 1/2 c. raisins 1/2 c. sugar corn flakes or coconut Boil sweet potatoes until tender. Mash; add sugar, raisins, nuts and flavoring. Thoroughly mix. Roll sufficient potato around marshmallows to cover and make ball size desired. Roll balls in crushed corn flakes or coconut. Bake in slow oven. SWEET POTATO BALLS 1 qt. sweet potatoes (after boiled and mashed) 1 egg, beaten 3/4 c. sugar 3/4 c. coconut corn flakes, crushed pkg. large marshmallows Mix sweet potatoes, egg and sugar. Add coconut and enough crushed corn flakes to make mixture thick enough to stay together. Refrigerate until chilled. Make flat circle (I use left hand.), put 1 marshmallow in center, put enough sweet potato mixture to cover marshmallow. Roll into a ball. Repeat. Makes about 30 balls in crushed corn flakes. Deep fry 1 minute. Best when warm. SWEET POTATO BALLS 1/4 c. butter, softened 3/4 c. firmly packed brown sugar 2 Tbsp. milk 1/4 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. grated orange rind chopped nuts (optional) 3 c. cooked mashed sweet potatoes 8 marshmallows 1 c. crushed corn flakes Add butter, sugar, milk, salt, orange rind and nuts to sweet potatoes. Mix well. Shape 1/4 cup mixture around each marshmallow, using more potatoes as needed to make ball. Roll each ball in corn flakes (or coconut). Place on buttered baking dish. Cover with foil; freeze until needed. Bake at 325 degrees for 20 minutes. A similar recipe for sweet potato balls was sent in by catndog and James S ============================= Thanks to the members that sent in the instructions on how to clean my coffee maker, and also the one for cleaning the dishwasher...Enjoying my new flat top stove! Boots in Va. ============================= This is for Carolyn who was looking for a recipe where you cook a cake mix and make balls dipped in chocolate from it. Here are two I had in my files from friends and one from a web site. Happy Baking, Joyce Cake Balls any type of leftover cake semi-sweet chocolate chip Take your leftover cake and SMUSH it altogether with your hands. Make small balls about quarter size. In a double boiler, melt the chocolate. Take a fork and dip the cake balls in the melted chocolate. Place the balls on a piece of aluminum foil to cool. You will likely need two 12 ounce bags of chocolate chips per one cake mix. OR Take canned frosting, and melt it in the microwave, for maybe 10 seconds. Then stir it, and then take a fork and dip the cake balls in the melted frosting. Place the balls on a piece of aluminum foil to cool. OR The recipe below comes from this site www.sugarcraft.com/catalog/candies/choc-recipes.htm CAKE BALLS 1 cake- any flavor nuts -if desired 1 cup vanilla icing Chocolate coating for dipping Make cake. Tear into pieces and mix with icing. Add nuts or fruits for more interest. Dip in chocolate and roll in real chocolate sprinkle candies - or stripe with seasonal colors. ============================ This is for Kat for the Beans and Greens. This is my mother-in-law's (101 years old) true Italian recipe and it is delicious. 6 cloves of garlic crushed 2-15oz cans white beans (cannelloni) 2 15 oz chicken broth 1 head escarole 1/2 cup white wine Salt and pepper Saut� garlic in olive oil on med heat (do not burn). When you smell the aroma of the garlic add chicken broth. Bring to a simmer and add beans. Cook for about 10 minutes and add chopped escarole. Once wilted add 1/4 to 1/2 parmesan or romano cheese. Very easy and delicious. Linda in PA ============================ Good morning! We all appreciate all the hard work you do to get these letters out to for our enjoyment. I look forward to each one. I am looking for a recipe from the early 1900 hundreds. It is a Cole slaw dressing, and I think my granny put an egg in it but I'm not sure. Is anyone familiar with this recipe? Thanking you in advance. Pat in Alabama =========================== Hi this is for Donna. I hope its the one.
