bananas in a plastic bag in the freezer.

this easy blender drink or dessert: Remove 1 banana from the
freezer and allow it to defrost just enough to remove the peel.
Cut
the partly-thawed, peeled banana into chunks and put it in the
blender or food processor with a few drops of vanilla extract and
coconut flavoring.
Add skim milk or low-fat yogurt and blend
smooth.
A small amount of milk or yogurt will create a “frozen
custard.” Add more milk or yogurt for a milkshake.
Add a whole egg

Homemade Cracker Jacks 0

Posted on October 24, 2007 by admin

4 c Popped corn

1 c Peanuts

1/2 c Molasses

1/4 c Sugar

: A candy thermometer is handy to have for this rcipe to test
the temperature of the syrup that binds the popcorn and nuts
together.
Mix popcorn and peanuts together in a large bowl or pan.
Cook molasses and sugar together until the mixture reaches a
tempurature of 235 degrees on a candy thermometer.
If you don’t
have a thermometer, test

the syrup by letting some drop from a spoon into acup of cold
water.
The syrup is done when it forms a thead as it drops into the
water.
Pour hot syrup mixture over the popcorn nut mixture and stir
to coat evenly.
Cool and break into chunks with a wooden spoon.
Stored in an airtight container, mixture will keep well for 4 tho 6
weeks.

Honey “Cracker Jacks” 0

Posted on October 24, 2007 by admin

1/2 c Honey

1/2 c Margarine

6 c Popped popcorn

1 c Shelled peanuts

Heat honey and margarine in a saucepan until well blended.
Cool.
Combine popcorn and peanuts in a large bowl.
Pour honey mix over
popcorn, stirring as you pour.
When popcorn and peanuts are well
coated, spread in a pan in a single layer.
Bake at 350 degrees for
5 to 10 minutes or until crisp but not brown, stirring several
times.
The difference between crisp (not brown) and burnt can be a
matter of minutes.
Keep in an air tight container.
My Note: This
doesn’t really taste like cracker jacks but it was sure good.
I’ll
use more popcorn next time as the popcorn really soaked the honey
butter up fast and some was positively soggy.
