Why I like this… Cranberry apple casserole is a very good dish in the fall. All of the fruit is in season, so it make a very good dessert.
HISTORY -Greek and Roman mythology refer to apples as symbols of love and beauty. -Cranberries were first used by Native Americans, who discovered the wild berry's versatility as a food, fabric dye and healing agent -The name “pecan” is a Native American word of Algonquin origin that was used to describe “all nuts requiring a stone to crack.”
The Tradition My family makes this dish every year for Thanksgiving. After that we will eat the leftovers for breakfast.
Dirrections: 1.
Beat eggs in the top of a double boiler. Add milk, sugar, cinnamon (if using) and salt, and mix thoroughly. Fill the bottom pan of the double boiler with about an inch of water. Bring the water to a boil and turn down the heat so that it is simmering hard. Place the upper pan containing the eggs and milk over the pan with the simmering water.
2.
Stir frequently with a wooden spoon until the mixture curdles, approximately 20-30 minutes or until no more whey (the liquid) is exuded. By the way, don't throw away the whey! Use it in place of the milk in this paska Easter bread recipe.
3.
Line a colander with damp butter muslin or two layers of cheesecloth that is large enough to hang over the sides of the colander. Place the muslin-lined colander over a bowl to catch any whey.
4.
Use a skimmer or slotted spoon to ladle the curds into the cheesecloth. Allow the curds to drain for 10 minutes. Then, gather up the edges of the cheesecloth to form a bundle in order to drain as much whey as possible from the egg cheese. Use a length of butcher's twine to tie the cheesecloth containing the curds into a neat bundle, pressing on the cheesecloth a bit to help the whey drain off.
5.
Tie the twine to a wooden spoon or dowel, and hang the egg cheese curds over a pot or container to collect any remaining whey and continue draining for 30 minutes.
6.
When the egg cheese ball has cooled and not dripping any more whey, place it in the refrigerator overnight still suspended over a pan so it will retain its round shape. When ready to serve, remove the cheesecloth. Serve sliced. This cheese is very perishable and should be consumed within a day or two. Store tightly covered in the refrigerator

1. In a medium saucepan, bring to boil 2 cups water, 3 tablespoons sugar, salt and oil. Cool to lukewarm. Meanwhile, dissolve yeast in 1 tablespoon sugar and 1/2 cup warm water. 2. Place flour in the bowl of a stand mixer or a large bowl. Add lukewarm water-sugar mixure and yeast mixture.

Punch down dough and turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll dough to 1/2- to 1-inch thick and cut into pieces that will result in 1-inch balls when rolled between the palms of the hand. 4. Place on a parchment-lined or well-floured cookie sheet with dough ball sides touching. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Let rise, covered with oiled plastic wrap until nearly doubled. Bake 15-20 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool completely. 5. Meanwhile, grind poppyseeds in a mortar and pestle with a little water or milk and set aside.

Paczki Nicole N 4
Ingredients
-11/2 cups warm milk, no warmer than 110 degrees -2 packages active dry yeast (remember to proof yeast before you begin) -1/2 cup sugar -4 ounces butter, at room temperature -1 large room-temperature egg -3 large room-temperature egg yolks -1 tablespoon brandy or rum -1 teaspoon salt -41/2 to 5 cups all-purpose flour -1 gallon oil for deep frying -Granulated sugar, optional -Confectioner’s sugar, optional
I eat Paczki almost every year for New Years. It’s a tradition because I’m Polish and so is my dad.
- Paczki is translated into English as “donuts” - The alcohol evaporates - It’s been known since the middle ages
1 Add yeast to warm milk and stir to dissolve and set aside. 2 In a large bowl or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together sugar and butter until fluffy. 3 Beat in eggs, brandy and salt until well incorporated. 4 Still using the paddle attachment, add 4 1/2 cups flour alternately with the milk-yeast mixture and beat for five or more minutes by machine and longer if doing it by hand. Mixture should be smooth. 5 Dough will be very slack, if too soft, add remaining 1/2 cup flour, but no more. 6 Place dough in a greased bowl and cover and let rise until doubled in bulk, anywhere from one to two and half hours or follow this Quick Tip to cut the rise time. Punch down and let rise again. 7 Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface and pat or roll to 1/2-inch thickness. 8 Cut rounds with 3-inch biscuit cutter. 9 Remove scraps, and re-roll and re-cut. 10 Cover and let rounds rise until doubled in bulk, 30 minutes or longer. 11 Heat oil to 350 degrees in large skillet or Dutch oven. 12 Place paczki top-side down (the dry side) in the oil a few at a time and fry two to three minutes or until bottom is golden brown. 13 Flip them over and fry another one to two minutes or until golden brown. 14 Make sure the oil doesn’t get too hot so the exterior doesn’t brown before the interior is done. 15 Test a cool one to make sure it’s cooked through and adjust cooking time and oil heat accordingly. 16 Drain paczki on paper towels or brown paper bags and roll in granulated sugar while still warm. 17 Dust filled paczki with granulated sugar, confectioners’ sugar or glaze.
