Know What time of Year is Coming,?Holidays!!!! This time of Year is, for the cook who enjoys cooking, the best time of the year. From Halloween until New Year's Day passes, to my family and myself, may as well be One Holiday- Food Times. The main purpose of life is to enjoy One's Self and that is to do something that makes you happy, so what better way to be happy and satisfied than to eat great food when you are hungry! In keeping with that theme I am working on several pages of nothing but great tasting food and some of it will be good for you ie; Healthy and some of it ....well.....you know.....just plain Good. I have several Holiday Recipes, In no particular for you to get started thinking on the rest of what you will be cooking. If you have a recipe that you would like to share with some of us then please do so by posting it on our Forum or just send it by email to our eMail and I will be glad to post it in the appropiate category. I will look forward to hearing from you and keep a look out for the new pages as they become available. Happy Days, Here is an easy one to get started Angel Food Candy Categories: none 2 cup light corn syrup; karo 2 cup brown sugar; firmly packed 4 teaspoon baking soda 4 oz semi-sweet chocolate; cut up 12 oz chocolate chips; 1 pk 1/4 cup butter or regular margarine 1 paraffin; * NOTE: The first 4-Oz of semi sweet chocolate is in the block style. Also the chocolate chips should be semi-sweet. * The paraffin should be a 2 1/2 X 3-inch piece that has been cut : up. Combine the corn syrup and brown sugar in a 4-quart heavy Dutch oven. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture boils. Continue cooking the mixture until it reaches the hard crack stage (300 degrees F) on the candy thermometer, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and carefully stir in the baking soda being careful as the mixture will foam up. Pour the mixture at once in to a greased 13 X 9 X 2-inch baking pan. When cool, turn out of the pan. Break into pieces using a meat mallet or wooden spoon. Combine the semi-sweet chocolate pieces and the chocolate chips, butter and paraffin wax in the top of a double boiler. Place over simmering water, stirring until melted. Remove form the heat, but keep over the hot water. Dip the candy into the chocolate using a large cooking fork. Place on waxed paper lined baking sheets. Let stand until chocolate is set. Store the candy in a cool place in covered containers. If you wish, do not coat the candy with the chocolate Candy can be stored for several months in the freezer. Makes 3 pounds of candy. Yield: 10 servings |
