I want to let you know that I just love your newsletters. I always find something good to try. Thank you so much for all the work you do and for having the best recipes on the internet. I was wondering if you or a reader could help me. My sons favorite pie is blueberry and I make it frequently but it is always so runny we call it blueberry soup in crust. How can I thicken the pie without using tapioca which they don't care for? I use flour on the blueberries and I drain them well but it is still very runny. Thanks for any help I can get. Donna ============================================================================================= Hi Nancy, Looking for a Mexican Fruit Cake recipe, it tastes similar to carrot cake and has coconut on the top. Does anyone have the recipe to share? Thanks, Joyce ============================================================================================= The lady was asking about 'jelly' in her Brie Onion Bundles: When you reduce (simmer the sherry for 10 minutes) the sherry will thicken into a syrup. This probably what the recipe means. Sounds yummy ! Merry =============================================================================================== Nancy, I have been searching and searching for a Persimmon Pudding recipe that is more like an applesauce consistency as opposed to a cake like consistency. Whenever I go to the Covered Bridge Festival in IN they serve this Persimmon Pudding warm and it is so good. The only recipes I find turn out like a cake. Now my daughter who is in the US Marines and has been overseas for a year has requested I make her this pudding when she comes back. Can anyone out there please help me? Thanks so much for your help. Marcia =============================================================================================== Romona, I know exactly what you mean about your name. Mine is Merry, yes I said Merry. I have never met another Merry in my life, but I know there is a Merry in MN that subscribes to Nancy's Kitchen. Enjoy being unique! Merry in Texas ================================================================================================= Hi Nancy, this is for Susie Indy. I think the recipe for the jello dessert that was served probably had Dream Whip in it. It is a powder that makes whipped cream when milk is added and it is whipped to soft peaks like egg whites. Hope this helps. Nancy you work hard and I really enjoy it. Thanks, saw64 =============================================================================================== I do so love your website. Its always so informative and chatty..:o) I made the most wonderful casserole tonight. That my family adored.. and was thinking perhaps your readers might like it as well. Its a variation.. on the usual hashbrown casserole, but with a southwestern flair. Santa Fe Casserole One bag of fresh shredded hashbrowns (not frozen) One small onion One can of cream of chicken/mushroom soup One soup can of sour cream One clove of garlic, chopped finely Half a cup of your favorite salsa, either hot or mild, to your taste 1/2 pound of Spanish chorizo sausage, less casings and crumbled, browned with the onions and garlic One small can of green chili's (from the ethic isle in the grocery store) Cheddar cheese to taste Brown chorizo and drain Take all ingredients with some cheese left out for the top of casserole, mix.. and put in a buttered casserole dish. Cover with extra cheese. Cover with foil and bake.. at 350 for one hour. Remove foil.. Broil until nice and brown and crispy.. should take about 5 minutes. I served it with a small salad, some garlic bread, and it was wonderful. Even picky eaters, that like Mexican food, love this. I think that anyone.. that like a bit of Southwestern food... would find this dish to be to their liking. Hope you like it too! ELENI ============================================================================================= Hi Nancy.. For Heidi in AZ-looking for a choc. cake and Brownies recipe.

It is the perfect side dish for any kind of meat. >From Colleen in Tallahassee, FL Tomato Pudding (Baked) 1/2 cup brown sugar 1 small onion, chopped 1 - 16 oz. can of tomatoes 3 cups bread crumbs or toasted croutons (use no more - not seasoned - dried white bread can be used) 1 stick (1/2 cup) margarine I add a little fresh grated Nutmeg Method: 1. Boil sugar, onion and tomatoes for 10 minutes. 2. Add margarine, crumbs or croutons and heat. 3. Place in a baking dish. 4. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. You can save out some of the crumbs, mix with margarine, and sprinkle over the top after mixing all ingredients and before baking. Croutons seem to burn a little if you use them for the topping. ============================================================================= Dear Nancy; I have a question concerning an old Jewish Bread, that I haven't seen for years and wondered if you or any of your readers might have the Recipe for what I remember being called Yulekaka I remember it when I was much younger Do you know what I am talking about? Thank You for any help. Michael M =========================================================================== I think the last ingredient in the recipe should read "� cup red pepper jelly" to make the recipe correct. 1/2 cup of red pepper would be plenty spicy. Vivien =========================================================================== This is in reply to the question someone had about the jelly in the brie bundles. I see it asks for 1/2 cup of "red pepper", but it is not mentioned in the recipe. I think the jelly is most likely a red pepper jelly, but the word jelly got left off. It is usually a good flavored and not hot type of jelly, which would go really well with the other ingredients, and also look pretty. Sue =========================================================================== This is for Heidi of AR. BEST BROWNIES Melt 1 cup margarine add 1/2 cup cocoa Stir in- 2 cups sugar add 4 eggs add 1 cup flour 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons vanilla 1 cup pecans or favorite nuts Spread in 9x13 greased pan.

Makes 16 ===================================================================== I am looking for a recipe for "Hot Oil" that was served as a dip at a Thai restaurant that served dim sum. Thanks, Dem =================================================================== Re: Sweet Onion Brie Bundles I think the recipe is calling for red pepper jelly which is also great in those little pre made phylo pastry cups with a dab of brie, pepper jelly and a nut or just cover a block of cream cheese with the jelly and serve with crackers. Donna ================================================================= Nancy: Love your website! Thanks so much for all the time and hard work you put into it ... also love hearing about your cat. In your newsletter today Helen was looking for a recipe for Friendship Bread, here is one that I have been using for years and years, it's very easy and it's always a big hit during the holidays. Janey - Moultrie, Georgia Friendship Bread Put starter for bread in plastic bowl with tight cover. Do not use a metal spoon or a metal bowl. Do not refrigerate. The lid may pop off; don't be alarmed, it happens. Day 1: do nothing Day 2: stir with a wooden spoon Day 3: stir with a wooden spoon Day 4: stir with a wooden spoon Day 5: add 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar, 1 cup milk stir with a wooden spoon Day 6: stir with a wooden spoon Day 7: stir with a wooden spoon Day 8: stir with a wooden spoon Day 9: stir with a wooden spoon Day 10: add 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar, 1 cup milk stir with a wooden spoon Pour out three 1 cup containers of starter; give these to a friend. Pour the remaining batter in a large bowl and add the following: 1 cup of oil 2 cups flour 1 cup sugar 1/2 cup milk 3 eggs 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon cinnamon (I usually add a little more) 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 cup chopped nuts 1 large box instant vanilla pudding (try French vanilla or banana, too) Stir well with a wooden spoon. Pour into three small (or two large) well-greased and sugared loaf pans. Batter will be very thick. Sprinkle top with cinnamon sugar, if you like. Bake at 350 for 35- 40 minutes; use toothpick to test for doneness. You can store the starter in the freezer in a small airtight freezer container until needed; just thaw in the fridge for one day, and count that as your "day one". ===================================================================== Hi Nancy, I really enjoy your newsletter. This is for Pam. She requested a recipe for Tomato Pudding and this recipe is a favorite of ours. I frequently take it to pot lucks and it always causes lots of curiosity at first and then everyone wants the recipe. From Pat in Florida. Enjoy! Here it is: EVIE'S TOMATO PUDDING 1/4 tsp. salt 1 cup fresh white bread, cut into 1 inch squares 1/2 cup butter, melted 1 10 oz. can tomato puree 1/4 cup boiling water 1 cup light brown sugar (packed) Add sugar and salt to puree and water. Boil 5 minutes. Place bread squares in a casserole, pour melted butter over bread. Then pour the hot tomato mixture over the bread squares. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes in a moderate oven (350 degree). =========================================================================== I am interested in a recipe for what my husband calls Navaho Fry Bread. Has anyone heard of it? Suzy from Massachusetts =========================================================================== For Heidi in AZ - this recipe makes the best chocolate cake I've ever had. I can't remember where it came from, either from this site or Allrecipes.com: Chocolate Cake 1 box Devil's food cake mix, any brand 1 box instant chocolate pudding, any brand 1 16 oz. container sour cream 4 eggs 1 cup vegetable oil 1 cup water Stir all ingredients together, then mix on med-high speed for 2 minutes. Grease (cooking spray works great) inside of crock pot; pour in batter and cover. Cook on low for 4-7 hours, turning crock pot 1/2 turn every 90 minutes or so, till center is set but still moist. I have found 5 hours works perfectly for my crock pot. Cool for about 1/2 hour, then turn out onto a plate; serve warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. Not calorie or carb conscious, just good eating! Love to Siggy and thanks to Nancy! Nancy, Laurence Harbor, NJ ===================================================================================== Hi Nancy...First of all...thanks for your wonderful newsletter. I am sure it must take tons of work to maintain. I found a great recipe in your June 27, 2004 newsletter, but found it confusing. Well at least the recipe name had me wondering if something was missing. It was for Zucchini Hash Brown Cakes. Perhaps this is a dumb question, but are there supposed to be hash browns in it, or is it just reference to the consistency created by shredding the zucchini and grating the onion? I thought perhaps whoever sent this to you might have an answer. Hope you can help...And Thanks again for all your great work. DonnaS =================================================================================== Hi Nancy, I hope everything is going well with you at your home. Thanks again for all the time you spend putting this newsletter together to send out weekly. Many thanks to all the members of your email recipe club for all the great recipes & tips sent in. Thank You! I have a request for a recipe for Fish Cakes. Years ago my Mom sent me to a German Deli called "Pete's Deli" to buy homemade fish cakes for dinner during the Lenten season. I believe the fish cakes were made up of cod fish & a potato mixture. My Mom used to fry them up in a skillet with butter and serve them with spaghetti for dinner. Does anyone have a recipe for Fish Cakes? Dorry in VA ======================================================================================= This is for the lady that wanted to make yellow dumplings this tip goes way- way the hospitals does this, they add a few drops of food color to the chicken broth before adding dumplings HG =========================================================================================== Hi Nancy, This is for Heidi in Arizona, who wanted a good chocolate cake recipe. This is the best I have ever made but you have to be a chocolateholic like me to enjoy it. TRIPLE CHOCOLATE FUDGE CAKE 1 Chocolate Cake Mix 4 Large eggs (jumbo) 16 ounces sour cream 1/2 Cup chocolate chips 1 Cup chopped nuts 1 small box instant chocolate pudding Mix altogether, beat 4 minutes, bake in well greased bunt pan for approximately 50 minutes at 350 degrees. When cake is out of the oven, take a can of chocolate fudge frosting, heat in the microwave until runny, and drizzle a little over the cake when it is almost cool. NOTE: If batter seems too thick (depends on what cake mix you use), add about a 1/4 cup of water to thin it down. Jackie ===================================================================================== Hello Nancy, A friend told me about a great way to cook corn for a large crowd. She said that they husked the corn, removing the silk, put it in a cooler, and covered it with boiling hot water, and covered it with the lid. The thing that I cannot remember is how long before the corn is done and how long will it keep? Does anyone know about this one? It sounds like a great idea. Thanks. Pat in Florida ===================================================================================== Baby Porcupines 1 pound ground round steak 1 cup bread crumbs 1 egg 4 tablespoons chopped onions 2 tablespoons chopped green peppers 1 teaspoon salt 1/8 teaspoon pepper 3/4 cup raw rice 1 cup tomato soup or tomato puree 2 cups water Mix all but last 3 ingredients. Shape into small balls and roll in the uncooked rice, Heat tomato soup and water in heavy pan with a tight fitting cover. {Dutch oven is the best} for this. Place balls in the tomato mixture cover and cook slowly 45 minutes or until meat is tender and the rice is done.
