11-18 Cranberry Gelatin

So it seems like we should include at least one Jello recipe in honor of our heritage as well. When you were little, you loved when one of your grandma's made it and it always disappears at those dinners where we see it served. Here is a holiday one that I will probably make this year since Bri & EB still like it. It's a kid's version of traditional cranberry sauces. The original recipe calls for a cup of sour cream but its just fine with less.

Mix until dissolved:
2 c hot water
1 6 oz box Cherry Jello
In separate bowl, mix together:
16 oz whole berry cranberry sauce
1/2 c sour cream
Now add to jello mixture along with
1 - 11oz can of mandarin oranges, drained
Put into mold and refrigerate overnight.

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!
