          Peanut Butter& Jelly Filled Spiders

          Peanut Butter& Jelly Filled Spiders

          3 tbsps reduced fat peanut butter

          3 tbsps strawberry jam

          1 lb Frozen Bread Dough — thawed

          Prepare two baking sheets with cooking spray; set aside. In a small bowl, combine peanut butter and jam; set aside. Divide dough into sixteen equal pieces. It takes two pieces of dough to make one spider. To make spider, take one piece of dough, on a lightly floured surface, divide this piece into four equal pieces for spiders legs. Roll each of these pieces into thin ropes, each being eight inches long. Lay each of these ropes, parallel and equal in length to each other, half inch apart onto prepared baking sheet. For the spiders body, divide a second piece of dough, one twice as large as the other. On a floured surface, pat larger piece of dough with the palm of your hand to flatten. Place two teaspoons peanut butter and jam mixture onto center of circle. Bring ends of dough up together and seal seams. Gently roll this piece of dough into a ball; set aside. Roll smaller piece of dough in a round ball (this will be the spiders head). Place peanut butter filled body and head centered on top of the four ropes of dough. The spider should now have eight legs. FInish with remaining pieces of dough to make eight spiders. Let rise until doubled in size, one hour. Bake in a 375 degree oven for ten minutes, or until golden brown.

            Port Wine Jelly

            You can use any wine you like for this jelly. Just substitute your favorite, and eliminate the cinnamon sticks.

            2 cups good-quality port wine
            3 cups granulated sugar
            1 tablespoon freshly-squeezed lemon juice
            2 cinnamon sticks, broken in half
            3 ounces liquid pectin (Certo?)

            Prepare canning jars according to manufacturers directions. Combine port, sugar, lemon juice and cinnamon sticks in a heavy saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. Stir to help dissolve the sugar. Boil vigorously for 2 minutes; remove the pan from the heat, and immediately add the pectin. Spoon the jelly into prepared jars, leaving 1/4 inch of headspace. Place a piece of cinnamon stick in each jar. Process the jars in a water bath according to the manufacturers directions, no less than 10 minutes.

                    Carrageen Pudding with Rhubarb and Rosehip Jelly

                    July 7th, 2009  Tagged

                    Carrageen Pudding with Rhubarb and Rosehip Jelly

                    1 1/2 pt Milk

                    1 Strip lemon peel

                    1/2 oz Prepared dried carrageen *

                    1 tb Sugar

                    1 Egg

                    2 Sticks rhubarb **

                    4 tb Rosehip or redcurrant jelly

                    *Note: Carrageen is a purple-brown or green fronded seaweed common on Scottish beaches on the mid-tide line. It can be used to set and delicately flavour a jelly or thicken a soup. If you gather your own fresh, you will need about 2 oz to set a pint of milk. Dried carrageen is available in health-food stores, or Chinese supermarkets in processed form, as agar-agar. **Rhubarb sticks should be sliced and lightly poached with additional sugar. Bring the milk to the boil with the lemon rind. Stir in the carrageen and cook for a couple of minutes until the milk thickens enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon. Add sugar. Allow the mixture to cool until it is at blood temperature (100 F, 40 C). Whisk the egg till frothy and then whisk in the warm milk until smooth. Pour the mixture through a sieve into a cold-wetted ring-mould. Then put it in the fridge to set - it will only take about 1/2 hour. Run hot water over the outside of the mould and turn out the jelly. Fill the middle of the ring with a ladleful of rhubarb compote and surround with a little scarlet sauce of rosehip or redcurrant jelly melted in a little hot water.

                      APRICOT-JALAPENO JELLY

                      APRICOT-JALAPENO JELLY

                      Ingredients
                      1/2cupjalapeno peppers, stems/seeds removed
                      1lgred bell pepper, stem/seeds removed
                      2cupcider vinegar
                      1/2cupapricots, dried and chopped
                      6cupsugar 3 oz liquid pectin
                      4eachdrops red food color

                      Directions:

                      Put jalapenos, bell pepper, and vinegar in blender. Puree il coarsely
                      ground and small chunks remain.

                      Combine apricots, sugar, and jalapeno/pepper/vinegar mixture in large
                      saucepan. Bring to a boil. Boil rapidly, 5 minutes. Remove from heat; skim
                      off any foam that forms.

                      Allow mixture to cool for 2 minutes. Then mix in pectin (and food coloring
                      if you
                      e going to use it).

                      Pour into sterilized jars, seal, and cool. (I processed in a boiling water
                      bath for 10 minutes.)

                      Yield: 3 pints (I got 7 half pint containers.)

                      This recipe calls for apricots but peaches, nectarines, and pears work equally well. Any fresh green chile can also be substituted, depending on your heat preference. Serranos will make it hotter; roasted, peeled New Mexican chiles will tame it down.
