10-24 Cranberry Bread

You can start finding fresh cranberries around now. Or look in the freezer section.
This came from my friend Megan's mom's BYU cooking class...in the 1950's! This recipe was also in the Arizona Republic when we lived there in 1995 but they used lemon instead of orange and butter instead of oil.

Sift together dry ingredients:
2 c flour
1 t salt
1/2 t baking powder
1/2 t baking soda
Then combine wet ingredients separately:
1 egg, beaten
1 c sugar
2 T hot water
2 T canola oil or 1/4 c butter, softened
1/2 c orange juice or 3/4 c lemonade concentrate
Add to dry ingredients, barely mixing - only to moisten
Fold in
1/2 c chopped nuts
1 c cranberries, chopped
zest of 1 orange or 1 lemon
Bake in a well greased or parchment lined bread pan at 325 degrees for 1:10.
Let cool before resting or refrigerating for 24 hours to let the flavors blend.

Nicola's Fisk

 Cousins in Sweden served a fish meal that B really liked!  [That is a huge compliment as it's not her favorite protein.]  Nic makes it without a recipe so this is a general guide.  Layer a casserole with a bed of zucchini slices and add a layer cod pieces . Mix chopped flat leaf parsley (handful), softened butter (abt. 2 T), horseradish sauce (abt. 1 T) with a brick (8 oz) of cream cheese.  {It is easier if the ingredients are room temperature} Cover fish with sauce and bake for about 25 minutes at about 325-350 degrees [Swedish measurements are not equivalent]  Thin sauce with milk if needed. Serve with new baby potatoes baked in butter and dill and salt.

01-25 Dad's Quick Italian Meatballs

Mix 1 lb lean ground beef 2 eggs 1 c Italian bread crumbs 1/2 c spaghetti sauce (more or less, see how it looks) The longer you mix/beat them, the more tender they will be Form meatballs and bake at 350F about 12 minutes Use in meal immediately or freeze for later Put in spaghetti or any pasta will work. Meatball sandwiches would be good too!
