11-09 Sweet and Sour meatballs

Using the meatballs made from recipe 11-08, you can make these sweet and sour meatballs.
When I use young, it seemed like every wedding reception we went to served these and I ate them, many of them, along with those wedding mints. This recipe will sauce about 30 meatballs. Original recipes included a green bell pepper but it saturates everything it touches so I would leave it out but now I just use a yellow one.

In large saucepan, cook over medium heat:
1 c juice from can of pineapple chunks plus water if needed to make the cup
1/3 c more water
3 T vinegar
1 T soy sauce
1/2 c packed brown sugar
3 T cornstarch
Stir constantly until thick then add
1 -20 oz can pineapple chunks, that were drained for above use
30 meatballs (thawed will lessen the time needed)
1 bell pepper, cut into 1 inch chunks
Simmer uncovered for about 20 minutes until all is heated through.
Serve with toothpicks if at a 70s wedding reception or over cooked rice for dinner

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.

Swedish almond cake = nötkaka

How did I miss putting this recipe on here years ago?! There are several versions. The original here is from the Swedish classic Sju Sorters Kakor. For presentation it is baked in a special ribbed pan - widely available and not expensive - called a Swedish/Rehrucken/Almond cake loaf pan.  They are about 4.75 x 12.25 inches & 2 inches deep.  It also works in a similarly sized baking dish or cake round, you just won't have the ribbed design.  Prepare cake pan with a light coating of oil or oil spray, as you want to be able to invert it after baking to present it with the pattern. Sprinkle sliced almonds into the bottom of the pan before pouring the batter into it.  Recipe:  Beat together until light and fluffy = "vit och skummig":  2/3 c - 1 1/4 c unbleached cane sugar (depending on how sweet you want it) 1/2 c softened unsalted butter Beat in, one at a time:   1 egg & 2//3 c milk OR 2 eggs Combine the dry ingredients:  1 1/2 t almond e...
