6 â?– Tuesday, November 12, 2013 Crustless Cranberry Pie

Eggnog Gingerbread Trifle

1 cup all-purpose flour 1 cup white sugar 1/4 teaspoon salt 2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries 1/2 cup chopped walnuts 1/2 cup butter, melted 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon almond extract

1 (14.5 ounce) package gingerbread cake mix 3 cups eggnog 1 (5.1 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix 2 cups heavy cream, 1/4 cup white sugar 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1/4 cup dried cranberries, chopped (optional) 2 tablespoons gingersnap cookie crumbs (optional)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease one 9 inch pie pan. Combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Stir in the cranberries and the walnuts, and toss to coat. Stir in the butter, beaten eggs, and almond extract. If you are using frozen cranberries, the mixture will be very thick. Spread the batter into the prepared pie pan. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 40 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted near the center comes out clean. Serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream.

Prepare gingerbread cake mix and bake according to package directions (any size pan). Cool completely. Place the pudding mix in a large bowl. Pour in the eggnog and whisk for about 2 minutes. Refrigerate pudding until the gingerbread cake is cool and you are ready to assemble the trifle. In a large bowl, whip cream until stiff peaks are just about to form. Beat in sugar and vanilla until peaks form. Crumble 1/2 of the gingerbread into the bottom of a trifle bowl or a large glass bowl. Spread 1/2 of the eggnog pudding over the gingerbread, then spread 1/2 of the whipped cream on top of the pudding. Repeat the layers with the remaining gingerbread, pudding, and whipped cream. Refrigerate 6 hours or overnight. Sprinkle the top with the cranberries and cookie crumbs before serving.

Bake for 1 1/2 hours in preheated oven. Meringues should be completely dry on the inside. Do not allow them to brown. Turn off oven.

8 ❖ Tuesday, November 12, 2013 Fudgy Cake

Flourless Chocolate Cake

Cookies & Carols

Cake: 1 1/2 cups firmly packed brown sugar 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda 3/4 teaspoon baking powder 1 pinch cinnamon 1 pinch salt 1 egg 1 egg white 3/4 cup buttermilk 3/4 cup strong coffee 1/3 cup vegetable oil

8 ounces best-quality bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into pieces, softened 6 large eggs: 2 whole, 4 separated 1 cup sugar 2 Tablespoons cognac or Grand Marnier (optional) Grated zest of 1 orange (optional)

Icing: 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted 4 teaspoons granulated sugar 4 teaspoons cornstarch 1/2 cup skim milk 1/4 cup corn syrup 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 C). Line the bottom of an 8-inch springform pan with a round of wax paper; do not butter the pan. Melt the chocolate in a bowl set over hot water. Remove from the heat and whisk in the butter until melted; set aside. In a bowl, whisk the 2 whole eggs and the 4 egg yolks with 1/2 cup of the sugar just until blended. Whisk in the warm chocolate mixture. Whisk in the optional cognac or Grand Marnier and the optional orange zest. In another bowl, with an electric mixer, beat the 4 egg whites until foamy. Gradually add the remaining 1/2 cup sugar and beat until the whites form soft mounds that hold their shape but are not quite stiff. Stir about 1/4 of the beaten egg whites into the chocolate mixture to lighten it; gently fold in the remaining whites. Pour the batter into the pan; smooth the top. Bake until the top of the cakeis puffed and cracked and the center is no longer wobbly, usually 35 to 40 minutes. Do not over bake. Cool the cake in the pan on a wire rack; the cake will sink as it cools, forming a crater with high sides. At serving time, whip the cream with the confectioners’ sugar and vanilla until not quite stiff. With a spatula, carefully fill the crater of the cake with the whipped cream, pushing it gently to the edges. Dust the top lightly with cocoa powder. Run the tip of a knife around the edges of the cake; carefully remove the sides of the pan and serve. Yield: 8 to 12 servings

Directions In bowl, combine brown sugar, flour, cocoa, baking soda and baking powder, cinnamon and salt.In separate bowl, beat together egg and egg white; beat in buttermilk, coffee and oil. Make a well in sugar mixture; pour coffee mixture into well and whisk just until blended. Pour into greased 8-inch square cake pans. Bake at 350 degrees F for 30 to 40 minutes or until tester inserted into center comes out clean and cake springs back when pressed. Let cool in pan on rack for 20 minutes. (Cake can be frozen up to 2 months) Icing: In small saucepan, combine cocoa, sugar and cornstarch. Whisk in milk until blended, then corn syrup and vanilla extract. Bring to boil over medium-high heat, whisking constantly, reduce heat to low and cook, whisking for 1 to 2 minutes or until thickened and glossy. Let cool for 5 minutes. Spread evenly over cake. Makes 12 servings. ®

Whipped Cream Topping: 1-1/2 cups heavy cream, well chilled 3 Tablespoons icing sugar 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract Unsweetened cocoa powder, for sprinkling

SILENT NIGHT

AWAY IN A MANGER

Silent Night, holy night; All is calm, all is bright.

‘Round yon virgin Mother and Child; Holy infant so tender and mild.

Sleep in heavenly peace, Sleep in heavenly peace.

Silent night, holy night; Shepherds quake at the sight; Glories stream from heaven afar, Heav’nly hosts sing “Hallelujah!”

Christ, the Saviour is born!

Christ, the Saviour is born!

Silent night, holy night; Darkness flies, all is light.

S Shepherds hear the angels sing: “Hallelujah, hail the King!”

Christ the Saviour is born!

Christ the Saviour is born!

Silent night, holy night; Child of heav’n, O how bright!

Thou didst smile when Thou wast born; Blessed be that happy morn; Full of heav’nly joy, Full of heav’nly joy.

Away in the manger, No crib for a bed, The little Lord Jesus Laid down his sweet head; The stars in the heavens Looked down where he lay, The little Lord Jesus, Asleep on the hay.

The cattle are lowing, The poor Baby wakes, But little lord Jesus, No crying He makes.

I love Thee, Lord Jesus!

Look down from the sky, And stay by my cradle ‘Til morning is nigh.

Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay close by me forever, And love me, I pray; Bless all the dear children In Thy tender care, And take us to heaven To live with Thee there.

Combine the cranberry sauce, apple jelly, mustard, crushed bouillon, horseradish, garlic powder, and thyme in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Line a large baking pan with foil. Place pork loin in pan, fat side up. Sprinkle evenly with salt and pepper. Use a pastry brush and a small spoon to completely coat the pork with sauce. Cook until the pork is no longer pink in the center, and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), about 45 minutes, basting every 10 minutes with remaining sauce.

Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the onions, mushrooms, and garlic; cook until tender, but not browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in the flour, sage, and thyme until blended. Pour in the gravy, water, and milk, stirring to blend. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; cook 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the turkey and vegetables, and cook until vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Line a 10 inch pie plate with the bottom crust. Pour in the turkey mixture.

SANTA CLAUS IS COMIN’ TO TOWN

Tuesday, y November 12, 2013 ❖ 15

Oh, you’d better watch out, You’d better not cry, Better not pout, I’m telling you why: Santa Claus is comin’ to town.

He’s making a list, Checking it twice, Gonna to find out Who’s naughty and nice.

Santa Claus is comin’ to town.

He sees you when you’re sleeping, He knows when you’re awake, He knows if you’ve been bad or good, So be good for goodness’ sake.

Oh, you’d better watch out, You’d better not cry, Better not pout, I’m telling you why, Santa Claus is comin’ to town.

RUDOLPH THE RED NOSE REINDEER Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer, (Reindeer) Had a very shiny nose, (Like a light bulb!)

And if you ever saw it, (Saw it) You would even say it glowed.

(Like a light bulb!)

All of the other reindeer, (Reindeer) Used to laugh and call him names.

(Like Pinocchio!)

They never let poor Rudolph (Rudolph) Join in any reindeer games.

(Like Monopoly!)

Then one foggy Christmas eve, Santa came to say, (Ho-ho-ho) “Rudolph with your nose so bright, Won’t you guide my sleigh tonight?”

Then how the reindeer loved him, (Loved him) And they shouted out with glee, (Yippee!)

“Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer, (Reindeer) You’ll go down in history!”

(Like Columbus!)

JINGLE BELLS Dashing through the snow, In a one-horse open sleigh, O’er the fields we go, Laughing all the way!

Bells on bobtail ring, Making spirits bright, What fun it is to ride and sing A sleighing song tonight!

Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way, Oh, what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh - hey!

Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way, oh what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh!

A day or two ago, I thought I’d take a ride, And soon Miss Fanny Bright, Was seated by my side, The horse was lean and light, Misfortune seemed its lot We got into a drifted bank, And whee! We got up-sot!

Oh, Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way, Oh, what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh - hey!

Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way, Oh, what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh!

FROSTY THE SNOWMAN Frosty the Snowman Was a jolly happy soul, With a corn cob pipe and a button nose, And two eyes made out of coal.

Frosty the Snowman Is a fairy tale, they say.

He was made of snow, But the children know How he came to life one day.

There must have been some magic in That old silk hat they found, For when they placed it on his head, He began to dance around.

Oh, Frosty the Snowman Was alive as he could be, And the children say he could laugh and play Just the same as you and me.

CHORUS Thumpety thump thump, thumpety thump thump Look at Frosty go.

Thumpety thump thump, thumpety thump thump Over the hills of snow.

Frosty the Snowman Knew the sun was hot that day, So he said “Let’s run and we’ll have some fun, Now before I melt away.”

Down to the village With a broomstick in his hand, Running here and there all around the square, Saying “Catch me if you can!”

He led them down the streets of town, Right to a traffic cop, And he only paused a moment When he heard him holler “Stop!”

Frosty the Snowman had to hurry on his way, But he waved good-bye, saying “Don’t you cry, I’ll be back again someday!”

Let ev’ry heart prepare Him room, And heav’n and nature sing, And heav’n and nature sing, And heav’n and heav’n and nature sing.

Joy to the world The Saviour reigns, Let men their songs employ, While fields and floods, Rocks, hills, and plains, Repeat the sounding joy, Repeat the sounding joy, Repeat, repeat, the sounding joy.

He rules the world With truth and grace, And makes the nations prove The glories of His righteousness, And wonders of His love, And wonders of His love, And wonders, and wonders of His love.

HAVE A HOLLY JOLLY CHRISTMAS Have a holly jolly Christmas It’s the best time of the year Well I don’t know if there’ll be snow But have a cup of cheer Have a holly jolly Christmas And when you walk down the street Say hello to friends you know And everyone you meet

JOLLY OLD ST. NICHOLAS Jolly old St. Nicholas, Lean your ear this way.

Don’t you tell a single soul, What I’m going to say.

Christmas Eve is coming soon, Now you dear old man.

Whisper what you’ll bring to me, Tell me if you can.

When the clock is striking twelve, When I’m fast asleep.

Down the chimney broad and black, With your pack you’ll creep.

All the stockings you will find, Hanging in a row.

Mine will be the shortest one, You’ll be sure to know.

Johnny wants a pair of skates, Susy wants a dolly, Nellie wants a story book, She thinks dolls are folly.

As for me, my little brain, Isn’t very bright, Choose for me old Santa Claus, What you think is right.

Ho ho the mistletoe Hung where you can see Somebody waits for you Kiss her once for me Have a holly jolly Christmas And in case you didn’t hear Oh, bygolly Have a holly jolly Christmas This year!

O CHRISTMAS TREE

O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree, O tree of green, unchanging.

Your boughs, so green in summertime, Do brave the snow in wintertime.

O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree, O tree of green, unchanging.

O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree, You set my heart a singing.

Like little stars, your candles bright, Send to the world a wondrous light.

O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree, You set my heart a singing.

O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree, You come from God, eternal.

A symbol of the Lord of Love, Whom God to man sent from above.

O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree, You come from God, eternal.

O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree, You speak of God, unchanging.

You tell us all to faithful be, n God eternally.

And trust in O Christmass tree, O Christmass tree, You speak of God, g. unchanging.

Stitched With A Wish

May this Christmas deliver meters of happiness and joy to you and yours. We’ve really enjoyed getting to know you and look forward to our continued friendship.

Merry Christmas, Everyone!

WINTER WONDERLAND Sleigh-bells ring, are you lis’nin, In the lane, snow is glist’nin, A beautiful sight, we’re happy tonight, Walkin’ in a winter wonderland!

Gone away is the bluebird, Here to stay is a new bird, He sings a love song, as we go along, Walkin’ in a winter wonderland.

In the meadow we can build a snowman, Then pretend that he is Parson Brown, He’ll say, “Are you married?”

We’ll say, “No, man!”

“But you can do the job When you’re in town!”

Later on, we’ll conspire, As we dream by the fire, To face unafraid, the plans that we made, Walkin’ in a winter wonderland!
