Red Raspberry Caramel Custard Pie

-

I'm always on the lookout for yummy recipes that I have never tried before. So recently when we were planning on having guests for dinner I was looking through a cookbook for inspiration. My sister Karen, who knows a thing or two about food prep, compiled a cookbook from her own recipes and those of family and friends called 'The Spice Of Life', that I have turned to many times. In it I found this custard pie recipe from Karen and decided to try it.

                                                   MMM, I was not disappointed!

It is delicious prepared with the red raspberries, but I think it would also be good served with fresh ones on the side without having them baked into the pie. I used frozen ones for this recipe. If you do that make sure they are thawed and drained well. I gave them plenty of time to drain on paper towels, changing the towels once or twice.

For this one I also cheated and used a bought pie crust. One of these days I will show you that I really can make them myself. It's just that time is almost always a factor and the bought ones are too handy!

Ingredients:
9-inch unbaked pie crust
½ cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
4 Tablespoons butter, melted
4 eggs, seperated
4 Tablespoons all purpose flour
3 ¾ cups milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 egg whites, whipped till soft peaks form
fresh or frozen red raspberries

Prepare crust and fit into deep pie pan. Cover bottom of crust with fresh or thawed, well drained red raspberries.


Combine the first 7 ingredients in the blender and blend well. Beat egg whites in a mixing bowl until soft peaks form, add blended ingredients. Mix with a wire whisk till smooth. Pour over raspberries in unbaked shell. Bake @ 400° for 10 minutes, reduce heat to 325° until finished, the middle is set when gently shook.


I used a shallow 9 inch pan and should have used a deeper one because I ended up with extra custard.

                                                               Dee-lish-ous!!
                                                                          
                                                                   Enjoy!!

Creamy Finger Jello

-
Image
I was asked to bring finger Jello to serve with a hot lunch us room Mom's were serving to Serena's classroom at school. Jello isn't something I typically serve,but I have about 2 or 3 recipes using Jello that I make about once in a blue moon. One reason I make this one is because it isn't a typical, plain finger Jello. But also because it looks like a two step process when it really isn't. Everything is mixed as one and it separates as it sets. And the cream adds a good flavor. 2 large boxes Jello 4 packages plain gelatin 4½ cups boiling water ¼ cup cold water 1 cup heavy cream Combine the Jello and gelatin and whisk together. Add the boiling water and whisk until Jello is dissolved. Add the remaining ingredients and stir. Pour into a lightly greased (this helps to remove from the pan in a cleaner cut, spray the pan then wipe it down with a paper towel) glass 9 X 13 pan. Cover and chill till firm. Cut into desired shapes or squares and serve.

Seasoned Pretzels

These pretzels have been around the block and back again, but they  really are  such an easy snack and they go well as an appetizer too. They are simple and require no baking which in my opinion is a definite plus! 18 ounces pretzel twists ½ cup olive oil 1 envelope original Hidden Valley Ranch Mix 1 teaspoon dill weed ½ teaspoon garlic powder Pour pretzels into a large bowl. In a smaller bowl combine oil and seasonings and mix well with a whisk. Pour over pretzels and toss to coat. Allow to rest at room temperature, stirring every now and then to coat again, until oil and seasonings are gone from the bottom over the bowl. Pretzels are ready to serve when they look dry again. Be Blessed!

Rice Krispy Rollups

Here is another chocolate and peanut butter concoction that is totally irresistible and so easy to make. I sometimes make these instead of cookies if  I'm not in the baking mood. The only trouble is they never last long. Here's what you'll need: ¼ cup butter, melted 10½ ounces mini marshmallows 5½ cups Rice Krispies 1½ cups milk chocolate chips ½ cup peanut butter Melt butter in a 6 quart kettle, add marshmallows. Melt completely over low heat. Add the Rice Krispies. Mix well. Spread evenly into a greased 10½ x 15½ baking sheet. In a microwave safe bowl combine chocolate chips and peanut butter.  Melt at 1 minute intervals until completely melted, stirring after each minute. Spread on top of Rice Krispy mixture. Let set in a cool place till chocolate mixture sets up. Be careful not to let the chocolate get too hard, it will not make a neat roll if you do. Loosen all around with a metal spatula. Roll, starting on
