Cranberry Sauce Salad

Cranberry Sauce Salad

1 cn Jellied Cranberry Sauce

1 c Sour Cream

2 Package Raspberry Jello

-(3 oz size) 2 3/4 c Water (1 1/2 cup boiling)

Use the boiling water to disolve the packages of raspberry jello. Add cold water ( 1 1/4 cups) to help it set up. Let it set (in fridge is okay) until its good and syrupy. Meanwhile, use blender to blend cranberry sauce and sour cream thoroughly. Blend jello in carefully (it makes for a FULL blender!). Pour into dishes, mold, whatever! Sets in about 7 hours or so, but is best made a day ahead. I also served this at a Christmas get-together in Dayton, and they asked for the recipe!! Ill let that be my recomendation for it! Welcome to the Echo, and Ill be watching to see what answers you get on the software! Posted on Cooking Echo by Robert Skaer on 12-30-92 MM by Cathy Svitek

In this dispensation, God has clearly included the burial and resurrection of Christ along with His death as a part of he gospel (1 Cor. 151-4)…It is God who has set these terms as the content of our faith in order to be saved. This is the METHOD of salvation in this day of grace. — Joel Finack

        Fresh Lotus Root Salad

        Fresh Lotus Root Salad

        1 lb Fresh lotus root

        1/2 ts Grated fresh ginger

        4 ts Sugar

        1 1/2 tb Soy sauce

        2 tb White vinegar

        1/2 tb Asian sesame oil

        1 tb Chopped fresh coriander

        Toasted black or white -sesame seeds for garnish If you haven tried fresh lotus roots do yourselves a favor and pick up some from an Oriental market. They look like nothing so much as strings of vegetable sausages a few inches long and about three inches in diameter. The flavor is somewhat reminiscent of a water chestnut as is the texture++very fresh, crisp and good. When sliced, they have an intriguing, lacy cross section that comes from air channels in the root. Lotus root is also available canned and its not bad++not as good as fresh, but quite acceptable. They can better than water chestnuts and retain more of the characteristics of the fresh root than do water chestnuts. Lotus roots make a nice addition to soups too. BTW, its considered bad form by Asian grocers to break up the hands of roots. They
        e not that expensive and youll probably use all you buy anyway. Rinse lotus roots with cold water. Trim and discard both ends of the bulb. With a vegetable peeler, pool the skin. Diagonally cut thee root into 1/8 inch thick slices; immediately plunge slices into acidulated water. Drain. Put lotus roots into a heat-proof bowl. Pour enough boiling water to cover; let sit for 5 minutes. Drain. Rinse with cold water. Pat dry. refrigerate until chilled. For the dressing; in bowl, combine thoroughly the ginger, sugar soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil and coriander. Put lotus root slices into a shallow bowl; pour dressing over lotus roots. Arrange on individual salad plates, garnish with sesame seeds. Serve chilled. Serves 8. San Francisco Chronicle, 11/6/90. Posted by Stephen Ceideburg November 7 1990.
