Truffes Au Chocolat (Chocolate Truffles) 0

Posted on October 24, 2007 by admin

3 oz Chocolate

1 1/2 oz Butter

2 oz Powdered sugar

2 tb Fresh cream

Preparation: Put cream, butter and grated chocolate into a pan.
The chocolate need not be grated fine.
The cream can be replaced by
skimming the top off raw milk poured into a wide basin and allowed
to settle.
Melt butter, chocolate, and cream in a double boiler,
stirring to mix well.
When melted, remove the double boiler from
the fire, leaving the hot water in the bottom pan to keep it warm.
Sift the powdered sugar in slowly, so that it will not form lumps,
stirring constantly.
Let stand 24 hr.
in a cool place.
(In winter,
12 hr.
in a cold room will do.) At the end of this time, cut a
piece of this chocolate about the size of a small nut, using a
knife or spoon.
Roll it into a ball in the palm of the hand until
the outside of the bonbon begins to melt a little.
Then roll it in
grated or granulated chocolate, which will stick to it perfectly.
Let stand 2 hr.
before serving, but in a place that is not too
cold, because these truffles are better when they are a little
soft.
Instead of rolling them into balls, you can also shape them
to look more like truffles.

Truffes Pralinees (Praline Truffles) 0

Posted on October 24, 2007 by admin

1/2 lb Good chocolate

About 1/2 glass water 3 Egg yolks

3 oz Butter

1 1/2 oz Praline paste

Slowly melt the chocolate in the water, bring to a gentle boil,
remove from the fire, and add the yolks, beating with a spatula,
then replace on a low fire to poach the eggs in the chocolate.
Do
not stop beating.
Remove from the fire and add the butter and the
praline paste.
Let cool, beating from time to time (this cooling
takes a rather long time).
When the mixture begins to solidify,
take some with a spoon, place it in some grated chocolate (prepared
in advance), and shape to resemble real truffles.
These truffles
keep a week.
To keep a longer time, substitute vegetable shortening
for the butter.

Vinegar Taffy 0

Posted on October 24, 2007 by admin

1 c Sugar

1/2 c Water

1/4 c Light corn syrup

1/2 ts Salt

2 tb Vinegar

1 ts Vanilla or other flavoring

-such as orange or lemon, or -use: 1/2 ts Peppermint or:

1 oz Bitter chocolate, grated

From Grandma Ruby’s recipe file: newspaper clipping Cook sugar,
water, corn syrup, salt and vinegar until a few drops of the
mixture will make a hard ball in cold water, 260 degrees on a candy
thermometer.
Pour onto a greased dish or platter, sprinkle
flavoring over top and turn the outer edges of the candy in toward
the center until cool and firm enough to handle.
Best results are
obtained in pulling if the tips of the thumbs and fingers are
dipped in cornstarch or fat.
Use only the fingertips to pull taffy.
When mixture can be handled, take up and pull out with both hands.
Fold over and pull out again.
As the mixture becomes cooler and the
longer it is pulled, it will become stiffer and can be pulled out
in a longer strand.
Pull until it is difficult to pull out and the
mixture seems quite firm.
Pull into long thin strips and cut
immediately with greased scissors and roll each piece in powdered
sugar or wrap in wax paper.
Store cooled taffy in an air tight
container in a cool dry place.
If the taffy sugars, it can be
recooked by putting it in a pan with 2 Tablespoons corn syrup and
1/4 cup water.
Stir until dissolved and then recook according to
original directions.
Finely chopped nuts or fruit, as well as other
flavorings, are added as the taffy is being pulled.
I wish I had a
date for this…I’d say recipe is at _least_ 30 years
old…possibly 40, maybe even more…
This is a lesson to all of
you to date your recipes, including newspaper clippings! From

The Five Minute Killer Fudge 0

Posted on October 24, 2007 by admin

2/3 c Evaporated Milk

1 2/3 c Sugar

1/2 ts Salt

1 1/2 c Miniature Marshmallows

1 1/2 c Semi-sweet Chocolate Chips

1 ts Vanilla

1/2 c Nuts

Read all of the instructions before starting.
Wise advice would be to have the ingredients in the 3rd paragraph ready to go, and also the pan already buttered.
Do all of this BEFORE you begin to cook.
Combine Milk, Sugar, and Salt in saucepan over medium heat Bring to a boil and cook 4-5 minutes, stirring constantly (start timing when the mixture starts to “bubble” around the corners of the pan).
Remove from heat.
Add Marshmallows, Chocolate Chips, Nuts and Vanilla.
Stir vigorously for 1 minute (or until Marshmallows are completely melted and blended).
Pour into a buttered 8″ square pan.
Cool until it doesn’t fall out or slosh around in pan.
Eat! For the totally inept in the kitchen (or kids): Don’t leave out ingredients…So what if you can’t find the vanilla.
If you leave it out, the fudge will taste about the same, but it will be hard enough to use as asphalt patch.
You’ll ruin the pan using a chisel to get the fudge out…Don’t overcook!…Mix well! You should end up with a uniform texture about the same appearance as Hershey’s Syrup…
It has to cool before it turns solid…Buttering the pan means putting just a little butter or margarine on a clean piece of paper toweling and rubbing the bottom of the pan with it.
Pretend your waxing the car.
