PERFECT CRANBERRY TARTLETS 2 recipes Perfect Nut Crust CRANBERRY FILLING: 2 env. unflavored gelatin 6 c. fresh or dry-frozen cranberries 2 c. sugar 1 c. red currant jelly GARNISH: 1 c. heavy cream, whipped Prepare the crust and using your fingers, press the dough firmly against the bottoms and sides of 3 inch tart pans so that it is about 1/8 inch thick. Chill the shells for 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Put the shells on a baking sheet and bake until slightly golden and firm, about 12 to 15 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and set the tart pans on a rack to cool. Then carefully remove the shells from the pans. To prepare the filling, stir the gelatin into 1/2 cup cold water until dissolved. Wash and pick over the cranberries. In a saucepan, combine the cranberries with the sugar and jelly. Gently boil the mixture, uncovered, over moderate heat, stirring occasionally for 15 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat. Cool the mixture slightly, and stir in the softened gelatin. When the mixture is cool, divide it evenly among the tart shells. Chill the tarts and serve topped with the whipped cream. This recipe will fill 12 - 4 1/2 inch tarts.

Hi, I have a similar recipe. It calls for browning the pork chops on moderate heat five minutes per side, putting on top of the rice, etc, covering, and cooking at 350 for a half hour.

[CnD] Talking microwaves?
Well, the world's oldest microwave is on its last legs. I have had this microwave for 27 years this month! I guess it is time to bite the bullet and venture out and purchase a new one? So, can you all give me advice and information about the talking microwave that I have seen mentioned here in the past?
