Hi Nancy and everyone, hope all has a great 4th of July....I have a wonderful recipe for spiced pineapple that goes great with any back yard bar-b-que or appetizer for a party. It's quick and easy and delicious. Hope you all like it.
Diane from Fitchburg, Mass.

SPICED PINEAPPLE
1 large can pineapple chunks
1 1/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup vinegar
10 or 12 whole colves
2 or 3 cinnamon sticks
dash of salt

Drain the pineapple, reserve the liquid and put the chunks aside. To the liquid, add all the ingredients other than the pineapple. Heat it all on the stove for 10 to 12 minutes. Then add the chunks, and bring it all to a boil. Once boiling, shut it all off and let it all cool. Once cooled, put it all in an airtight container and pop in the fridge. Do this at least one day prior to serving so the flavors have a chance to marry. When ready to serve, drain the liquid, and put the chunks on a decorated platter with toothpicks. ENJOY ::))

To Wendy in Canada,

I can’t tell you how to make vanilla extract at home but I can tell you a little about how commercial extracts are made. Maybe that will help.

The United States Government regulates the manufacture of vanilla extract. The strength of the extract is a function of how many beans are used for a gallon of extract and how completely the flavor is extracted from the beans. A two-fold vanilla is made from twice as many beans as a one-fold vanilla. A fold is the extraction from 13.35 ounces of beans for one gallon of liquid. Vanilla extracts are commonly made in one- to three-fold strengths. (It is easy to see why there is so much difference in the vanillas available.)

Commercial extractors use a percolator that operates mush as a coffee maker. The chopped beans are placed in a basket and a water and alcohol solvent is passed through the beans. The percolation process will last for hours or even days. Different companies will use different solvent strengths, temperatures, and times in processing.

The final product must have a minimum of 35% alcohol by volume.

This is for Dee in Death Valley, regarding not storing much in her refrigerator. I have always heard that when you keep the ref/freezer close to empty, you are wasting a lot of electricity. It costs a lot to cool air, as air is not a good holder/insulator. Even if you have only bottles of water, the water will hold the cool much longer than empty space, thus the refrigerator/freezer will not have to work so hard (always turning on/off as the air inside warms up much quicker than something actually being stored in there). Once, my MIL had an extra freezer. Just to keep it working more efficiently, she just filled old milk cartons with water and let them take up space in the freezer until she gradually (with my help, LOL!) filled the empty spaces. Good luck in the heat, Dee!
Tina from GA

Greetings from Montana, really appreciate this web page. Thanks for all the hard work and glad your safely moved and settled now.

This is for Wendy in Vancouver Island, Canada for the vanilla extract. This is a recipe I got out of our newspaper in 1984 still haven't made it but have the recipe incase!!

'Split a fresh vanilla bean in half lengthwise then cut in 4 pieces. Place the pieces in bottom of screw top jar, cover with 1/2 cup vodka. Shake mixture daily for 4 weeks.

Filter thru paper coffee filter and store in tightly capped jar. I do not know where you would get a fresh vanilla bean but imagine a special foods store.
Let me know how this turns out.

Here is a link for the person looking for egg drop soup-it's not quite the same but maybe the technique will help.

Also,seafood recipe.

Crab Balls
1 small box spaghetti
2 eggs-beaten
1 can crabmeat
flour
oil for deep frying

Cook the spaghetti to "al dente". Drain and rinse (you want it cool). Put in large mixing bowl. Add crabmeat, eggs, any seasonings you want (I use Old Bay) and then enough flour to be able to make balls. You have to gauge the flour your self. Heat the oil and make balls with the mix.Deep fry and drain. These are really good and freeze well too.
I'm not too sure about the size can of crabmeat as I always have fresh on hand-hubby's fishes and crabs.

This is for Barb in WNY. I'm from New Castle, Pa. and Daley's Country Pantry is one of my favorite places for bulk foods. It's actually located in New Wilmington, Pa. but it borders the edge of Volant, Pa. You can call this toll-free number and they will help you. You can order almost anything from them! It is 1-877-946-9023. Also, if you type in Daley's Country Pantry, it will bring up a search page which will let you bring up their business. I've also bought their chicken broth base and many of their spices and soup mixes. They have great products! Thank you Nancy for printing this. My 2 fur kids, Tigger Lily and Fannie Mae say Hello to Siggy and Ditto. Tig is 17 and Fannie is 15. They qualify for AARP! Have a great 4th! It's actually my birthday! So I'll watch fireworks if it doesn't rain.

Dear Nancy,
Re: Toasted Pecan Chocolate Pudding Cake Recipe
I've made this cake several times to many "oohs and aahs." The list of ingredients for the "Filling and Frosting," however, is incomplete. It fails to mention the confectioner's or 10x powdered sugar that is necessary to make the frosting.

The sugar IS listed in the directions for making the filling/frosting, but not in the list of ingredients. I've been assuming 1 pound of confectioner's sugar, as that is the usual measurement for cream cheese frosting/filling. Please let me know if I am correct.
Ever sincerely, Celeste A. Campbell

To the lady living in Death Valley! Wow! Here is a very simple recipe for a quick desert.

Lemonade Dessert
1 graham cracker pie crust
1 can sweeten condensed milk
1 8 oz tub Cool Whip
1 small can of frozen lemonade- or to taste

Just mix everything and pour into the pie shell. Put into fridge until firm & serve. It is so good.
Also, to all that are may be canning or freezing tomatoes. If you put the tomatoes in water & get the water really hot the peeling will slid right off. Saves lots of hard work! Annette in MS

This is for Walter who wanted some seafood recipes.

Shrimp Casserole
2 small pkgs. yellow (saffron) rice
2 cans cream of mushroom soup
2 cans Rotel tomatoes
1/2 stick butter or margarine
1 medium onion, chopped
2 lbs. shrimp, cleaned

Cook rice according to package directions. Saute onion and shrimp until pink. Add soup, tomatoes, and rice. Mix well. Pour into 10 x 13 sprayed pan. Bake at 350 for 20 to 30 mins. or until bubbly. Serves 6 to 8 hungry people.

Summer Tuna Mold
Soften 1 envelope( 1 tablespoon) unflavored gelatin in 1/2 cup cold water. Bring one 10 3/4 ounce can tomato soup to a boil; add gelatin, stir to dissolve. Add 1- 8 oz. pkg. cream cheese, in chunks; beat with electric mixer til smooth. Add 1 c. mayonnaise. Chill until partially set.
fold in 1/3 c diced bell pepper, 1/2 c. diced celery, 1/3 c chopped onion, 1/4 c. drained pickle relish ( I prefer dill, myself ), and 1- 6 1/2 oz. can tuna, drained and flaked. Chill firm in mold or 8 x 8 x 2 pan. Serve with crackers. Great summer meal and a good party item. Serves 6 to 9.

Hope you enjoy these. Jeannie from Henderson, Texas

For Windy in Canada on how to make vanilla extract;
Take two vanilla beans, split them open, scrape the vanilla off with a sharp knife, add the scrapings to three ounces of
good vodka in a clean glass bottle; then add the vanilla bean leaves, too. Store in a cool, dark place for three weeks and use as needed, shaking well before each use.

To Death Valley Dee

Fluff
1 can condensed milk
1 can pie filling (I like strawberry)
1 container cool whip
1 can drained crushed pineapple
1/4 of a tsp

Mix it all together and put in several small butter containers and then freeze and when you make a meal pull it out of the freezer and as it melts it is spoon around it. It will help to keep you cool. Also it does not need to be frozen but it is the best way to take it to a picnic. Judy/Lola

This is for Mary G. in Calif., who asked for the recipe of CARNITAS. I lived in Indiana for 3 years. And we had a party at home for our American friends. So the easiest dish I could prepare was "CARNITAS". So I asked one of my aunts in Mexico, how to prepare the. So I bought a leg or pork and I asked to butcher to cut it in small chunks, the size you use for skewers. In the seasonings, this is to your liking. I just used powder garlic, powder onion, ground pepper and salt. More or less as you season your meat for the broiler, just to taste, you don't measure. Then you have it rest in the refrigerator over night. If you prepare it early, turn it around several times. Next day (if you are going to serve it around noon, start early in the morning), put some lard in a big pan without melting, together with the meat, and start frying it, moving it around once in a while. When it dries out, you SPRINKLE ICED WATER on the meat (this helps to tenderize it) and continue cooking as told until CARNITAS are browned and cooked. You can serve them with "pico de gallo salsa", Mexican style salsa, guacamole, and whatever side dishes you like. I hope
you like them. My American friends that we invited that time, just loved them.

Because I complained about the rising cost of Pure Vanilla, my birthday gift from my daughter was a kit for making vanilla. It was three vanilla beans with a pint of Vodka. Here are the instructions which were included: "Split the beans, insert in bottle (which holds about 8 oz. and was included), and cover with Vodka. Replace cap and wait 4 weeks before first use, then each time you use some extract, replenish the bottle with more Vodka , always keeping the beans covered. You will have a full bottle of pure Vanilla Extract for years!"

Baked Chilies Rellenos for Vi in Tex. Nancy, I'd sent this last year sometime, but it does sound like the one Vi is hunting.

Baked Chilies Rellenos
6 to 8 whole Anaheim or poblano chilies, either roasted, peeled, and seeded or use two 4 oz. cans or one larger can if you can find it
6 to 8 strips of Jack or Colby cheese
1 c. shredded mixed Mexican Cheeses or shredded mixed Jack and Colby
2 eggs
2 slightly rounded T. flour
1/2 c. light cream or Half and Half
1/4 tsp. black pepper
8 oz. or more Taco Sauce

Butter an 8" x 8" or 9" x 9" baking dish. Fill each whole chili with a strip of cheese, lay them in the baking dish. Sprinkle with the grated cheese. Mix eggs and flour till smooth, then add cream and pepper; pour gently over the filled chilies. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes, then pour 4 or 5 oz. of the Taco Sauce over it in an X or a big circle, and bake 15 minutes more, or till a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Serves 2 to 4 , with rest of the sauce on the side.

Non Toxic Plant Spray for Helen in Omaha NE

Put plain water in an empty, rinsed 36 oz. spray bottle, almost to the top ; add 2 tsp. EACH vegetable oil and dish detergent; shake well. Use to spray tops and bottoms of leaves. This came from a wonderful friend, a teacher who taught special ed kids to grow all kinds of things.

Adding Authentic Flavor to Egg Drop Soup for Tina

Just put the white parts of 3 or 4 green onions and about a 1" piece of fresh ginger in the broth and simmer gently for 20 - 30 minutes before adding the eggs ....... and then top the soup with the green part of the onions sliced very thin. We love WonTon soup too, and this is how you make the broth for that. It is not at all greasy, but we prefer it not to be. Maybe you could add a T. or 2 of some oil such as peanut. Oh, and discard the cooked onion and ginger before adding the egg. Amazing what this adds to the broth.

This isn't tried and true, may have gotten it from P. Allen Smith's Gardening Site. But bet it would be good on broiled chicken or pork too, and they could be cooked just the same.

Melt:
1/2 lb butter

Add:
2 T poppy seed
1 T Table mustard
2 T minced onion
8 to 10 hamburger buns

On bottom half of bun place 1 slice of ham and 1 slice of American cheese. On top half spread the hot butter mixture. Close buns and wrap in foil. Bake on cookie sheet at 350 for 20 min.

So good and can freeze for future use.

Hello Wendy in Vancouver ( Once lived in Chilliwack in my younger years :)) ) .Here is a recipe for vanilla extract that you requested in June 29th letter . The best vanilla beans are from Madagascar .
Jocelyne in Québec

Vanilla Extract
2 c. vodka
5 vanilla beans; cut in 1" pcs

Combine vodka and vanilla beans in a jar with a tight fitting lid. Cover the jar and let it stand 6 to 8 weeks. (The vodka mixture will turn amber colored after a day or two.)

After half the vanilla extract is used, add more vodka to cover the beans. The flavor in the beans is gone when the vodka no longer turns to a dark color.
Yield: 2 cups

For Anita S in Olean, NY
You asked for a blueberry cake recipe, I have one called Blueberry Muffin Cake and it is made in a Angel Food Cake pan:

Blueberry Muffin Cake
1 pkg plain yellow or white cake mix
1 pkg (3.4 oz) vanilla instant pudding mix
1 cup low-fat vanilla yogurt
1/2 cup vegetable oil, such as canola, corn, safflower, soybean or sunflower
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 large eggs
1 cup fresh blueberries, rinsed and drained
2 teaspoons confectioners' sugar (for dusting, optional)
solid vegetable shortening for greasing the pan
flour for dusting the pan

Place the rack in the center of the oven and preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 10 inch tube pan (angel food cake pan) with solid vegetable shortening, then dust with flour. (shake out the excess flour)

Measure out 2 tablespoons of the cake mix and reserve it. Place the remaining cake mix, pudding mix, yogurt, oil, water, cinnamon, and eggs in a large mixing bowl. Blend with mixer on low speed for 1 minute. Stop mixer and scrape down sides of bowl, increase the mixer speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes more, scraping sides down again if needed. Batter should look thick and well
blended.

Toss the blueberries with the reserved cake mix

Pour two-thirds of the batter into the prepared pan, scatter the blueberries over the batter. Spread the remaining batter over the blueberries so that it covers the fruit.

Bake cake until it is golden brown on top and just starts to pull away from the sides of the pan, 45 to 50 minutes. Remove from oven and place pan on a wire rack to cool for 20 minutes. Run a long, sharp knife around the edge of the
cake and invert onto a rack, then onto another rack so that the cake is right side up. Allow to cool completely, 30 minutes more.

Place on serving platter, dust with confectioners' sugar and serve.

**Additional information: Allow cake to cool completely, then store covered in plastic wrap, at room temperature for up to 1 week. Or freeze, wrapped in aluminum foil, for up to 6 months. Thaw the cake overnight on the counter
before serving.

Have not tried this recipe, but sounds good. Hope you enjoy!

Nancy I am sorry but I didn't think that I would come across ice cream recipes so I didn't copy the person name that wanted them. I think that it was this week they requested the recipes. I thought that I was picking up a different magazine than I did. The recipes
