Kalua Pork Misspelled on Easter menu

BTW Carol from CA got me started on this recipe and it is delicious!

boston butt bone in or out 4 lb or more
rub with kosher salt all over
2 Tbl liquid smoke
1 banana
Put the roast in you cast iron dutch oven, I put foil in the bottom
pour the smoke over the roast
I also put two bay leaves in
cut an unpeeled banana in half, and place on two sides of the pan
Pour 1/2 cup water around the roast

Cover
Place in preheated 250 degree oven, and let it cook 5, 6 hours, until the meat falls off the bone, or falls apart. Depends on the size. Larger ones take 8 hours.

Let it cool, a little, before taking two forks to shred the meat.

Put the juices in the refrig to cool, then remove the fat.

I add the meat back to some of the juices, and have the other on reserve, for the guest to add as desired.

I serve it with white bbq sauce on the side and Hawaiian sweet rolls for sliders.

1/2 c mayo Hellmans/Dukes

1/4 c vinegar **I use white wine vinegar 1 1/2 tsp lemon juice 1 3/4 pepper

As big family dinners have faded away in my family, I have started a tradition of making myself (and my DD) a quiche. I have two favorite recipes, but this one is my favorite for Easter:

Fresh Herb Quiche

Pastry for single crust, partially baked Oven preheated to 375F

Cream cheese, 4 oz

Sour cream, 1/2 cup

Flour, 2 TBS

Salt and pepper, 1/2 tsp each

Nutmeg, grated, 1/8-1/4 tsp

Eggs, 2

Milk or half & half, 1.5 cup

Gruyere or Swiss cheese, grated, 1.5 cup (about 4 oz)

Parmesan cheese, 2 TBS

Scallions, sliced, 3 TBS

Parsley, fresh chopped, 3 TBS

Dill, basil, watercress or other herb of your choice snipped (I love it with dill) 1 TBS+

Beat together the cream cheese, sour cream, flour, salt pepper & nutmeg until smooth. Beat in the eggs, blending well, then blend in the milk. Sprinkle the cheeses, scallions, parsley and herb of choice in the prepared crust. Gently pour in the cream cheese mixture. Place the filled pan on a baking sheet.

Bake 45 min or until the custard is set. Cool about 10 minutes before slicing.

I have made this with lowered fat cream cheese, milk and sour cream and still found it acceptable in texture and just as tasty!

Glenda's pineapple recipe is very good.. I use pineapple tidbits and Ritz crackers. It is great with ham and can easily be doubled.

Sol, that lemon cream looks amazing, and lemons are on sale for $1.49 for a 2 pound bag. Mohter is coming for dinner on Easter, though, and she's allergic to lemons, so that might have to be a treat for the office. Yeah, that's it. I'll take it to the office, really, I will..... New recipes? I'm making a raspberry chocolate cheesecake for dessert because mother does love raspberries and dark chocolate and cheesecake. Makayla wants pumpkin pie. We're having prime rib and I'm still deciding on the potato, but we're also having macaroni and cheese, based on the Princess' request. It's her favorite food and she likes the "real" mac and cheese, made with all the pieces of cheese left in my cheese drawer. It has to have some Dubliner, though, and it has to be K-Frame's recipe. Other than that, I'm still undecided. Annie

Fruit & Nut Easter Eggs 1/2 cups butter 1/2 teaspoon vanilla 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 pounds confectioners' sugar 1/2 cup (4 oz) maraschino cherries, drained and finely chopped 1 cup finely chopped pecans 1/2 cup coconut Sweetened condensed milk Extra confectioners' sugar 1 pound dark chocolate candy melts, dark chocolate candy coating, or semi-sweet chocolate chips In a medium size mixing bowl, combine the butter, vanilla and salt. Mix well with an electric mixer. Beat in the confectioners' sugar gradually. Stir in the chopped cherries, pecans and coconut. Add just enough sweetened condensed milk to moisten and hold the mixture together. Knead the mixture until it is well blended. It should be easy to handle and shape, but not sticky. Use the palms of your hands to roll the mixture, a small amount at a time, into egg shapes. (The amount depends on the size and number of eggs you want to make. Use additional confectioners' sugar to prevent it from sticking to your hands.) Place the candy egg shapes on a wax paper lined cookie sheet. Chill in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight. Melt the chocolate in a microwave oven or in a double boiler. Dip each egg in the melted chocolate to coat, then lay on a waxed paper lined tray and allow the chocolate to harden. Place the eggs in paper candy cups.

Ham and Split Pea Soup from Epicurious : From Cooks Illustrated March 1999. this is a delicious soup but takes a little bit of time to make the broth but it's incredible. You can use a leftover ham bone if you get one of those big hams at the holidays (freeze the bone with a bit of meat) or a ham hock is okay too but can be salty. 1 piece (about 2.5 lbs) smoked bone in picnic 4 bay leaves 1 lb split peas rinsed and picked through 1 tsp dried thyme 2 tbsp olive oil 2 med onions, chopped med 2 med carrots, chopped med 2 med celery stalks, chopped med 1 tbsp butter (optional) 2 med garlic cloves, minced 3 small new potatoes scrubbed and med. diced ground black pepper balsamic vinegar Bring 3 quarts of water, ham, bay leaves to a boil, overd med high heat in large soup kettle. Reduce heat ot low and simmer until meat is tender and pulls away from the bone (2-2.5 hours). Remove ham meat and bone from broth; add split peas and thyme and simmer until peas are tender and dissolved (45 min - 1 hour). Meanwhile, when ham is cooled enough to handle, shred meat into bite sized pieces and set aside. Discard rind and bone. While ham is simmering, heat oil in large skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add onions, carrots and celery; saute, stiring frequently until most of the liquid evaporates and veggies begin to brown; 5-6 minutes. Reduce heat to low; add butter, garlic, and sugar. Cook veggies, stirring frequently, until deeply browned; 30-35 min, set aside. Add sauteed veggies, potatoes, and shredded ham to soup; simmer until potatoes are tender and peas dissolve adn thicken soup to the consistency of light cream (about 20 min more). Season with black pepper. Ladle soup into bowls, sprinkle with red onion (optional)and pass vinegar (optional)

LOOKING for: Easter Bird's Nest Recipe
Q
Comments (5)
Here's the one I used last year: BIRD'S NESTS CANDIES FOR EASTER 1 bag ReeseÂs peanut butter chips (10 oz.) 1 Tblsp. solid shortening (Crisco) 1 large can (5oz.) La Choy thin chow mein noodles 1 bag pastel colored M&M peanut candy Melt entire bag of chips and 1 tbsp. of shortening slowly in microwave or in double boiler on stovetop. If using microwave, heat full power in intervals of 30 seconds at a time and then less as chips begin to melt. You want the chips and shortening to be well blended and creamy and hot. DO NOT OVERCOOK!!! Immediately pour the can of chow mien noodles into the peanut butter mixture and toss lightly to coat noodles. Avoid crunching noodles. Using a spatula can help. Do this quickly, making sure the noodles are evenly coated. Drop by spoonfuls onto waxed paper and gently form into the shape of a nest, leaving a hollowed area in the center in which you immediately place three M&M peanut candies for the "birds eggs". Helps to have two people! Each batch makes approximately 14 nests.

Yes! Glenda's Pineapple casserole! I quadruple it to serve about 10 or 12. Leftovers are always clamed for take home...if there is any leftover.

Dumb question, Glenda, but is the banana discarded with the peel or mashed into pan drippings?
glenda_al

No, you do not use the banana after cooking. Just toss it. Carol-Ca used banana leaves and when I told her I did not have access, then she suggested using the whole banana and cutting it in half when cooking.

Does anyone have a fancy cake recipe that does not include nuts? I am not much of a baker but I would like to bring something special to Easter dinner. One person is allergic to nuts.

No nuts in a Harvey Wallbanger cake...always a big seller at my family picnics. I see the recipes on line call for yellow cake mix, but the original uses orange cake mix if you can find it.

Not really fancy, but you could make carrot cake with cream cheese frosting and omit the nuts.

Former KT member shared this recipe. Highly recommended. Many here have made this cake. Somehow I remember her receiving an award for the cake as well.

Hot Milk Cake
from pixistix

4 eggs
2 cups sugar
2 1/4 cups flour
2 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/4 cups milk
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter

Beat eggs and sugar well. Combine flour with bk. powder and add to egg mixture along with vanilla. Heat milk and butter together until butter melts; gradually add to batter, beating until well blended.

Pour batter into a greased 9x13 pan or a bundt pan. Bake at 350 for 30 to 35 minutes. Old fashioned, simple, melts in your mouth

****I bake mine in a square pyrex dish, and bake it about 45 minutes.

Thanks, I've had this recipe saved probably for as long as I've had your pineapple casserole saved LOL but never made it. But when you said "melts in your mouth" - that got to me! Thanks, Glenda :)

Here's the chocolate pudding I made for son when he was young. Still my favorite and his treat Sunday.

Chocolate Pudding
The quick easy way!
1/2 cup of Bisquick
3/4 cup of granulated white sugar
1/3 cup of Cocoa
1 cup of water
2 cups of whole milk
Combine Bisquick, sugar and cocoa in large saucepan. Gradually stir in water and milk. Cook stirring
constantly with wire whisk, over medium high heat, until the mixture thickens and boils. Boil and stir
constantly for 1 minute. Spoon into serving dishes. Cover as pudding will get a light skin on it if you
don’t.
