Baby Ruth Candy Bar

Baby Ruth Candy Bar
Beneath the chocolate of Nestl?s popular candy bar
is a chewy, peanut-covered center that resembles
Hershey's PayDay. To clone this one we'll only have
to make a couple adjustments to the PayDay clone recipe,
then add the milk chocolate coating. Even though the
wrapper of this candy bar calls the center "nougat,"
it's more of a white or blonde fudge that you can make
in a saucepan on your stovetop with a candy thermometer.
Centers
1/4 cup whole milk
5 unwrapped caramels
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
1 teaspoon butter
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups powdered sugar
20 unwrapped caramels
1 1/2 teaspoons water
2 cups dry roasted peanuts
1 12-ounce bag milk chocolate chips
1. Combine all ingredients for the centers, except the
powdered sugar, in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir
often as the caramel slowly melts. When the mixture is smooth,
add 3/4 cup of powdered sugar. Stir. Save the remaining 1/2
cup of powdered sugar for later.
2. Use a candy thermometer to bring the mixture to exactly 230
degrees, stirring often, then turn off the heat.
3. When the temperature of the candy begins to drop, add the
remaining 1/2 cup powdered sugar to the pan, then use a hand
mixer on high speed to combine. Keep mixing until the candy
cools and thickens and can no longer be mixed. That should take
a minute or two.
4. Let the candy cool in the pan for 10 to 15 minutes, or until
it can be touched. Don't let it sit too long - you want the candy
to still be warm and pliable when you shape it. Take a
tablespoon-size portion and roll it between your palms or on a
countertop until it forms a roll the width of your index finger,
and measuring about 4 1/2-inches long. Repeat with the remaining
center candy mixture and place the rolls on wax paper. You should
have 8 rolls. Let the center rolls sit out for an hour or two to
firm up.
5. Combine the 20 caramels with the 1 1/2 teaspoons of water in a
small saucepan over low heat. Stir often until the caramels melt
completely, then turn off the heat. If you work fast this caramel
will stay warm while you make the candy bars.
6. Pour the peanuts onto a baking sheet or other flat surface.
Using a basting brush and working quickly, "paint" a coating of
caramel onto one side of a center roll. Quickly turn the center
Page 1
Baby Ruth? Candy Bar.txt
over, caramel side down, onto the peanuts and press gently so that
the peanuts stick to the surface of the candy. Paint more caramel
onto the other side of the roll and press it down onto the peanuts.
The candy should have a solid layer of peanuts covering all sides.
If needed, brush additional caramel onto the roll, then turn it onto
the peanuts to coat the roll completely. Place the candy bar onto
wax paper, and repeat with the remaining ingredients. Place these
bars into your refrigerator for an hour or two so that they firm up.
7. Pour the milk chocolate chips into a glass or ceramic bowl and zap
it in the microwave for 2 minutes on 50 percent power. Gently stir the chips, then heat for an
additional 30 seconds at 50 percent power. Repeat if necessary, stirring gently after each 30
seconds. Don't overcook the chips or the chocolate will burn and seize up on you.
8. Drop a candy bar center into the melted milk chocolate. Cover the
candy bar with chocolate using two forks, one in each hand. When
the candy is covered with chocolate, balance the bar on both of the
forks, one at each end of the candy bar, and tap the forks on the
top edge of the bowl so that much of the chocolate drops off.
Carefully place the candy bar onto wax paper and remove the two
forks. Repeat with the remaining ingredients, and then chill the
candy bars until firm.
Makes 8 candy bars.

Baskin-Robbins? B.R. Blast

Baskin-Robbins? B.R. Blast?
Burt Baskin and Irv Robbins' idea to franchise their ice
cream stores for rapid growth was so inspired that the
company's former milk shake machine salesman, Ray Kroc,
adopted the technique to successfully expand his new chain
of McDonald's hamburger outlets.
Ice cream is this chain's staple. So this coffee drink,
unlike the Frappuccino made famous by Starbucks, requires
adding ice cream for a creamy texture and rich taste.
If you've got a blender you can clone either of the two
varieties of this refreshing coffee beverage. For
chocoholics bent on everything mocha, just add some
chocolate syrup to the mix.
Cappuccino
1 cup double-strength coffee (see Tidbits)
1 cup milk
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 heaping cup vanilla ice cream
2 cups crushed ice or ice cubes
Garnish
whipped cream
cinnamon
1. Combine the strong coffee, milk and sugar in a blender
and mix on medium speed for 15 seconds to dissolve sugar.
2. Add ice cream and ice then blend on high speed until smooth
and creamy.
3. Pour drink into two 16-ounce glasses. If desired, add
whipped cream to the top of each drink followed by a sprinkle
of cinnamon.
Makes 2 large drinks.
Mocha
For this version, add 2 tablespoons of chocolate syrup to
the recipe above and prepare as described.
Tidbits
Make double-strength coffee in your coffee maker by adding
half the water suggested by the manufacturer. Allow coffee
to chill in the refrigerator before using it in this recipe.

Lone Star Steakhouse? Lettuce Wedge Salad

Lone Star Steakhouse? Lettuce Wedge Salad
Why waste time chopping up the lettuce when you can just
hack a head into four chunks, dress it up and serve? This
unique presentation is not only easy to make, but also a
deliciously different way to serve your next salad. The creamy
bleu cheese dressing is a cinch to make from scratch and tastes
much better than anything you'll buy in a store. Add a bit of
extra crumbled bleu over the top, some freshly diced tomatoes,
and you're well on your way to a fancy-pants side salad that'll
surely impress.
Bleu Cheese Dressing
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup crumbled bleu cheese

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon onion powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 head iceberg lettuce
1 cup crumbled bleu cheese
1 cup diced tomato (1 large tomato)
Do the wedge.
1. Use an electric mixer to combine all ingredients for bleu
cheese dressing in a medium bowl.
2. Slice a head of iceberg lettuce into quarters through the
stem end. Cut the stem off of the wedges and arrange each one
on a plate.
3. Spoon about 1/4 cup of bleu cheese dressing over each lettuce
wedge.
4. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of crumbled bleu cheese over the dressing.
5. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of diced tomato over the top and serve.
Makes 4 servings.

Applebee's? Baked French Onion Soup

Applebee's? Baked French Onion Soup
Don't even try to find this one on the menu at Applebee's,
because it isn't there; though it's the most popular soup
served each day at this huge restaurant chain. This is the
first of several big-time soup clones we'll unveil here in
the next few weeks to help get you through the cold winter
months. And they're all a cinch to make. Just be sure you
have some oven-safe soup bowls for this one, since we'll
have to broil it a bit before serving. Under the gooey
melted provolone of the original version you get from A
pplebee's is a unique round crouton that's made from bread
similar to a hamburger bun. So that's exactly what we'll use
in our clone.
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
6 medium white onions, sliced
8 cups beef broth (Swanson is best)
1 cup water
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
5 plain hamburger buns
10 slices provolone cheese
10 teaspoons shredded parmesan cheese
1. Add 3 tablespoons oil to a large soup pot or saucepan
over medium/high heat. Add the sliced onions and saut?
for 20 minutes until the onions begin to soften and start
to become translucent. You don't want them to brown.
2. Add the beef broth, water, salt, garlic powder and
black pepper to the pan and bring mixture to a boil.
When soup begins to boil, reduce heat and simmer for
45 minutes.
3. To make the croutons cut off the top half of each top
of the hamburger bun so that the bread is the same thickness
as the bottom half of each bun. Throw the tops away. Now you
should have 10 round pieces of bread -- 5 bottom buns, and 5
top buns with the tops cut off. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Place the bread in the the oven directly on the rack and bake
for 15 to 20 minutes or until each piece is golden brown
and crispy. Set these croutons aside until you need them.
4. When the soup is done, spoon about 1 cup into an oven-safe
bowl. Float a crouton on top of the soup, then place a slice
of provolone cheese on top of the crouton. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon
of shredded parmesan cheese over the provolone.
5. Place the bowl into your oven set to high broil. Broil the
soup for 5 to 6 minutes or until the cheese is melted and
starting to brown (you may need to broil longer if you are
making more than one bowl at a time). Sprinkle an additional
1/2 teaspoon of shredded parmesan cheese over the top of the
soup and serve. Repeat process to prepare remaining servings.
Makes 10 servings.

Applebee's? Bananaberry Freeze

Applebee's? Bananaberry Freeze
Ah, if only kitchen cloning was an exact science.
While working on this one I saw the same bartender
make the drink two different ways on two different
days. Only after a firm grilling did I get her
admitting to her personal "improvement" to the chain's
secret recipe. The official clone includes the
ingredients found below. But if you want to add a little
pineapple juice -- as some independent thinking
bartenders are apt to do -- you might discover you
have indeed created a tastier version of this refreshing
smoothie. On that day the cloning gods shall be looking
the other way.
But, for heaven's sake, be sure your banana is soft
and ripe. This is a detail the gods won't ignore.
1 10-ounce box frozen sweetened sliced strawberries, thawed
1/3 cup pina colada mix
2 cups ice
2 ripe bananas
Garnish
whipped cream
2 fresh strawberries
1. Use a blender to puree the entire contents of the thawed
box of frozen strawberries.
2. Add 1/3 cup pina colada mix and 2 cups of ice to the blender.
3. Cut the end off end banana -- set these pieces aside to use
later as a garnish -- then put the bananas into the blender.
4. Blend on high speed until the ice is crushed and the drink
is smooth. Pour into two tall stemmed glasses, such as daiquiri
glasses.
5. Slice each strawberry halfway up through the middle and add
one to the rim of each glass.
6. Cut each banana slice halfway through the middle and add one
to the rim of each glass next to the strawberry. Top with
whipped cream and serve with a straw.

Applebee's? Low-Fat Asian Chicken Salad

Applebee's? Low-Fat Asian Chicken Salad
As the seasons change so does the menu, at this
popular 1064-unit casual restaurant chain. You’ll
find this item in the “Low-Fat and Fabulous” column
during the summer months where it’s been a favorite
since 1997. As with any salad, the waistline violator
is the traditionally fat-filled dressing that’s
drizzled in gobs over the top of very healthy greens
(a tablespoon of dressing is usually around 10-12
grams of fat each). So if we can just figure out a
cool way to make the dressing fat-free, we’re well
on our way to making huge salad – four of them to be
exact – with only 12 grams of fat on the entire plate.
Most of those grams come from the chicken breast, while
the crunchy chow mein noodles pick up the rest. Just be
sure to plan ahead when you make this one. The chicken
should marinate for a few hours if you want it to taste
like the original. Get ready for some big, meal-size salads.
1 cup teriyaki marinade
4 chicken breast fillets
Fat-Free Asian Dressing
2 cups water
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons dry pectin
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon paprika
8 cups chopped romaine lettuce
8 cups chopped iceberg lettuce
3 cups shredded red cabbage
3 cups shredded green cabbage
2 cups shredded carrots
1 cup chopped green onion
1 1/3 cups crispy chow mein noodles
1. Combine teriyaki marinade and chicken breasts in a medium
bowl or resealable plastic bag. Marinate chicken for 3-4 hours.
2. Prepare the dressing by combining all of the ingredients
in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring mixture to a
rolling boil while stirring often with a whisk, then remove
the pan from the heat to cool. When dressing has cooled, pour

Applebee's? Low-Fat Blackened Chicken Salad

Applebee's? Low-Fat Blackened Chicken Salad
Applebee's original Blackened Chicken Salad quickly became
a favorite, encouraging this popular full-service chain to
create a low-fat version of the delish dish. While most of
the fat in the original comes from the tasty honey mustard
dressing, this version creates a dressing that tastes just
as good, yet has not a single gram of fat. Combine that with
fresh lettuce, shredded carrot, a little egg white, non-fat
shredded cheese, and a delicious Cajun spice blend which
generously coats chicken seared in light butter then grilled,
and you have a majorly munchable salad which is incredibly
easy on the waistline. Who says you need gobs of fat to create
a tasty meal?
Dressing
1/4 cup fat free mayonnaise
1/4 cup Grey Poupon Dijon mustard
1/4 cup honey
1 tablespoon prepared mustard
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1/8 teaspoon paprika
Chicken Marinade
1 cup water
3 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 tablespoon Worcestershire
Cajun Spice Blend
1/2 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
2 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons light butter
Salad
8 cups chopped iceberg lettuce
1/2 cup shredded red cabbage
1/2 cup shredded carrot
1/2 cup fat free shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup fat free shredded cheddar cheese
1 large tomato, diced
1 hardboiled egg white, diced
1. Make dressing by combining ingredients in a small bowl.
Mix well by hand. Store in a covered container in the
refrigerator until salad is ready.
2. Combine water, lime juice, soy sauce, and Worcestershire
in a medium bowl, and stir. Add the chicken breasts to the
marinade, cover bowl and keep in refrigerator for several hours.
Overnight is even better.
3. When chicken is marinated, preheat a frying pan or skillet
(an iron skillet, if you’ve got it) over medium/high heat. Also,
preheat your barbecue grill to medium/high heat.
4. Combine the spices for the Cajun spice blend in a small bowl.
Sprinkle a teaspoon of the spice blend over one side of each of
the chicken breasts. Cover the entire surface of the chicken
with spice.
5. Melt the butter in the hot pan, then sear the chicken breasts
for 2-3 minutes on the side with the spices. While first side
cooks, sprinkle another teaspoon of spice over the top of each
chicken breast, coating that side as you did the other. Flip the
chicken over, and sear for another 2-3 minutes. The surface of
the chicken will be coated with a charred, black layer of flavor.
This is exactly what you are shooting for.
6. Finish the chicken off on your barbecue grill. Grill each breast
on both sides for 2-3 minutes, or until they are done.
7. While chicken is cooking prepare the salads by splitting the
lettuce into two large bowls. Toss in the red cabbage and carrots.
Mix the cheeses together, then top the salad with the cheeses
and hardboiled egg. Sprinkle the diced tomato on each salad.
8. Slice the chicken breast, across each breast in 1/2-inch-thick
slices. Spread the chicken over the top of the salad and serve
immediately with dressing on the side. Serves 2 as an entree.

Applebee's? Oriental Chicken Salad

Applebee's? Oriental Chicken Salad
Applebee's 60-item menu is revised twice a year.
That means about 40 percent of the entire menu
changes on a regular basis. The other 60 percent
are items that are found on menus in all of the
Applebee's restaurants, and seldom ever change.
One item that has been on the menu for some time
now is this Oriental Chicken salad, which is
considered one of the restaurant's signature
items. The recipe makes one dinner-size salad
and can be easily doubled or quadrupled for
additional servings. This recipe comes from
the third book, "Top Secret Restaurant Recipes,"
but the dressing has been improved to more closely
match the current dressing served at the restaurant.
Oriental Dressing
3 tablespoons honey
1 1/2 tablespoons rice winevinegar
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Grey Poupon Dijon mustard
1/8 teaspoon sesame oil
Salad
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup corn flake crumbs
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 boneless, skinless chicken breast half
2-4 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
3 cups chopped romaine lettuce
1 cup red cabbage
1 cup Napa cabbage
1/2 carrot, julienned or shredded
1 green onion, chopped
1 tablespoon sliced almonds
1/3 cup chow mein noodles
1. Preheat oil in deep fryer or deep pan over medium heat.
You want the temperature of the oil to be around 350 degrees.
2. Blend together all ingredients for dressing in a small
bowl with an electric mixer. Put dressing in refrigerator
to chill while you prepare the salad.
3. In a small, shallow bowl beat egg, add milk, and mix well.
4. In another bowl, combine flour with corn flake crumbs, salt
and pepper.
5. Cut chicken breast into 4 or 5 long strips. Dip each strip
of chicken first into egg mixture then into the flour mixture,
coating each piece completely.
6. Fry each chicken finger for 5 minutes or until coating has
darkened to brown.
7. Prepare salad by tossing the chopped romaine with the chopped
red cabbage, Napa cabbage, and carrots.
8. Sprinkle sliced green onion on top of the lettuce.
9. Sprinkle almonds over the salad, then the chow mein noodles.
10. Cut the chicken into small bite-size chunks. Place the
chicken onto the salad forming a pile in the middle. Serve
with salad dressing on the side.
Makes 1 dinner-size salad.

Applebee's? Tequila Lime Chicken

Applebee's? Tequila Lime Chicken
It's one of Applebee's top-selling signature dishes
and a big request here on the site. This tasty dish
combines the tangy flavor of the tequila lime marinade
with creamy southwestern-style dressing, and tops it all
off with a melted cheese blend. Just be sure you don't
marinate the chicken longer than the 3 to 4 hours, or the
citric acid in the lime juice may toughen the chicken.
The bed of crispy corn tortilla strips can be easily
cloned with crumbled store-bought corn chips, but if
you want strips like those served at the restaurant,
just follow the "tidbits" below. Serve this dish with
your choice of rice (Spanish rice is recommended),
along with some pico de gallo (you can find a recipe here)
or salsa on the side.
Marinade
1 cup water
1/3 cup teriyaki sauce
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon mesquite liquid smoke flavoring
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon tequila
4 chicken breast fillets
Mexi-Ranch Dressing
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon milk
2 teaspoons minced tomato
1 1/2 teaspoons white vinegar
1 teaspoon minced canned jalapeno slices (nacho slices)
1 teaspoon minced onion
1/4 teaspoon dried parsley
1/4 teaspoon Tabasco pepper sauce
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon dried dill weed
1/8 teaspoon paprika
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/8 teaspoon cumin
1/8 teaspoon chili powder
dash garlic powder
dash ground black pepper
1 cup shredded cheddar/monterey jack cheese blend
2 cups crumbled corn chips or fried tortilla strips (see tidbits)
1. Prepare marinade by combining marinade ingredients
in a medium bowl. Add the chicken to the bowl, cover and
chill for 2 to 3 hours.
2. Make the mexi-ranch dressing by combining all of the
ingredients in a medium bowl. Mix well until smooth, then
cover dressing and chill it until needed.
3. When you are ready to prepare the entree, preheat the
oven to high broil. Also, preheat your barbecue or indoor
grill to high heat. When the grill is hot cook the marinated
chicken breasts for 3 to 5 minutes per side, or until
they're done.
4. Arrange the cooked chicken in a baking pan. Spread a
layer of mexi-ranch dressing over each piece of chicken
(you'll have plenty left over), followed by 1/4 cup of
the shredded cheese blend. Broil the chicken for 2 to 3
minutes, or just until the cheese has melted.
5. Spread a bed of 1/2 cup of the tortilla strips or crumbled
corn chips on each of four plates. Slide a chicken breast onto
the chips on each plate and serve with your choice of rice,
and pico de gallo, or salsa. (http://www.topsecretrecipes.com)
Serves 4.
Tidbits
Crumbling store-bought tortilla chips is the easy way to
make the bed of crunchy chips that the tequila lime chicken
rests on. But, you can make tortilla strips like those served
at the restaurant by cutting a stack of eight 6-inch corn
tortillas in half. Stack the halves on top of each other and
slice the tortillas into thin strips. Fry the tortilla strips
in 2 cups of oil preheated in a large skillet for 3-5 minutes
or until crispy. Salt lightly and cool on paper towels to drain.

Baskin-Robbins? Ice Cream Cake

Baskin-Robbins? Ice Cream Cake
Traditional white birthday cakes are pretty boring
by themselves. Scoop a little ice cream onto the
plate and I'll perk up a bit. But, hey baby, bring
a Baskin-Robbins ice cream cake to the party and I'll
be the first one in line with a plastic fork. This
4500-unit ice cream chain stacks several varieties of
pre-made ice cream cakes in its freezer, but I've
discovered the most popular version, over and over
again, is the one made from white cake with pralines
and cream ice cream on top. So that's got to be the
version we clone here. But don't think you're locked
into this formula - you can use any flavor of cake and
ice cream you fancy for your homemade masterpiece.
Just be sure the ice cream you choose comes in a box.
It should be rectangular shape so that the ice cream
layer stacks up right. Then you'll want to find a real
sharp serrated knife to cut the ice cream in half while
it's in the box. And check this out: That white stuff
that coats the cake is actually softened ice cream spread
on a thin layer like frosting, and then re-frozen.
After it sets up, you can decorate the cake any way
you like with pre-made frosting in whatever color suits
your festive occasion. Voil?! You've just made an ice
cream cake at home that looks and tastes like those in the
stores that costs around 35 buck each.
Cake
1 box white cake mix
1 1/4 cups water
1/3 cup vegetable oil
3 egg whites
1/2-gallon box pralines and cream ice cream
4 cups (2 pints) vanilla ice cream
1 12-ounce container white frosting
Optional
colored frosting
A sharp bread knife makes box slicing easy
Ice cream on top of the cake, and all the trimming
1. Make your cake following the directions on the box.
If you are making the white cake you will likely blend
the cake mix with water, oil, and 3 eggs. Pour the batter
into a greased 9 x 13-inch baking pan and bake at 350 degrees
for 30 to 35 minutes. This will make a thin cake for our bottom
layer. When cake is done, let it cool to room temperature.
2. When the cake has cooled, carefully remove it from the
pan and place it on a wax paper-covered cookie sheet, or a
platter or tray that will fit into your freezer.
Page 1
Baskin-Robbins? Ice Cream Cake.txt
3. Use a sharp serrated knife (a bread knife works great)
to slice the ice cream lengthwise through the middle, box
and all, so that you have two 2-inch thick sheets of ice cream.
Peel the cardboard off the ice cream and lay the halves next
to each other on the cake. Slice the edges of the cake all
the way around so that the cake is the same size as the ice
cream on top. Work quickly so that the ice cream doesn't melt.
When the cake has been trimmed, place it into the freezer
for an hour or two.
4. When you are ready to frost the cake, take the two pints
(4 cups) of vanilla ice cream out of the freezer for 20 to 30
minutes to soften. Sitr the ice cream so that it is smooth,
like frosting. Use a frosting knife or spatula to coat your
cake with about 2 cups of ice cream. Cover the entire surface
thoroughly so that you cannot see any of the cake or ice cream
underneath. Pop the cake into the freezer for an hour or so
to set up.
5. When the cake has set, fill a pastry bag (with a fancy tip)
with white frosting to decorate all around the top edge of the
cake. Also decorate around the bottom of the cake. Use colored
frosting and different tips to add inspired artistic flair and writing on the cake, as needed. Cover the
cake with plastic wrap and keep it in your freezer until party time.
6. When you are ready to serve the cake, leave it out for 10
minutes before slicing. Cut the cake with a sharp knife that
has been held under hot water.
Makes 1 large cake (16 - 20 servings).
Tidbits
You may wish to use another flavor cake mix such as chocolate
or devil's food for this dessert - even low-fat cake mix works.
It's up to you. Just follow the directions on the box for making
the cake in a 9 x 13-inch baking pan.
You can also use any flavor of ice cream. Just be sure to get
it in a box.

Ben & jerry's fresh georgia peach ice cream

Ben & jerry's fresh georgia peach ice cream
Recipe By :
Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Desserts Fruits
Copycat
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 c Ripe peaches -- finely chopped
1 1/4 c Sugar
1/2 Juice of lemon
2 lg Eggs
2 c Heavy or whipping cream
1 c Milk
The best way to capture the elusive flavor of summertime. Ben and Jerry prefer
small peaches because they have more flavor and less water than the larger
ones. Combine the peaches, 1/2 cup of the sugar, and the lemon juice in a
bowl. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours, stirring the mixture every 30
minutes. Remove the peaches from the refrigerator and drain the juice into
another bowl. Return the peaches to the refrigerator. Whisk the eggs in a
mixing bowl until light and fluffy, 1-2 minutes. Whisk in the remaining 3/4
cup sugar, a little at a time, then continue whisking until completely
blended, about 1 minute more. Pour in the cream and milk and whisk to blend.
Add the peach juice and blend. Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and
freeze following manufacturer's instructions. After the ice cream stiffens
(about 2 minutes before if is done) add the peaches, then continue freezing
until the ice cream is ready. Makes 1 generous quart.

หมายเหตุ : ส่วนสำคัญอีกอย่างคือ การชิมรสชาติ หากจะให้พอดีตามรสที่ชอบ บางทีตามสูตรนี้อาจไม่ใช่รสโปรดของคุณ ให้บรรจงเอาเครื่องปรุงรสทุกอย่างผสมใส่ถ้วยแล้วแตะลิ้นชิมก่อน ถ้าชอบรสไหน รสอะไรขาดไป เติมเลยครับ หากคนติดหวานใส่น้ำตาลทรายหรือซีอิ๊วดำก็ได้ แต่ถ้าใส่หมักหมูไปแล้ว เอานิ้วที่ขยำ ๆ แตะ ๆ ลิ้นดูหน่อยว่ารสโอเคไหม อย่าให้เค็มมาก เพราะเมื่อเอาไปตากแดดแล้วทอด เนื้อหมูจะแห้ง ทำให้เค็มกว่าเดิม

วิธีตากหมูแดดเดียว
ต่อไปสำรวจบริเวณบ้านที่มีแดดส่อง เลือกพื้นที่ที่แดดส่องทั้งวัน ครั้นจะให้ไปเลื่อนถาดตามแดดทุก 10 นาที ไม่ต้องทำมาหากินพอดี

วางหมูที่คลุกแล้วกระจาย ๆ ชิ้นหมูจัดให้สวยงามลงบนถาด ***อย่าให้เนื้อหมูซ้อนกัน ภาพออกมามันดูไม่งาม รักษาระยะห่างกันไว้สักนิดจะได้แห้งเหี่ยวกันไว ๆ ***

นำถาดหมูที่ได้ไปตากแดด (แขวนยั่วเทวดา ระหว่างรอให้เอาสับปะรดที่เหลือจากคั้นน้ำมานั่งกินรอเวลา)
• ถ้าแดดดี : ประมาณ 4-5 ชั่วโมง กำลังได้ที่
• ถ้าแดดอ่อน : แขวนลืมไว้ได้เลย เย็น ๆ เก็บทีเดียว
• ถ้าแดดอ่อนจัดมาก : ตอนเย็นเนื้อหมูยังชุ่ม ๆ อยู่ เอาไดร์ร้อนเป่าผมช่วยเซต
• ถ้าเริ่มแขวนกลางคืน : แนะนำให้นำไปตากตอนเช้าของอีกวัน จบนะ !!

แต่... ถ้าแถวบ้านไม่มีแดดส่อง หรืออยากกินหมูแดดเดียววันฝนตก หรือสถานที่ตากแถวบ้านไม่อำนวย มีก่อสร้าง มีนกบินไป-มา หมาแมวมารบกวน หมูแดดเดียวจะอุดมไปด้วยฝุ่นและสิ่งไม่พึงปรารถนา ให้แก้ปัญหานี้ด้วย "เตาอบ" จ้า

เอาชิ้นหมูเรียงบนถาดให้เรียบร้อย ใช้กติกาเดิม ***อย่าทับกัน อย่าซ้อนกัน***

อบใช้ไฟบนกับลมร้อน (ให้สภาพเหมือนอากาศบ้านเราตอนเดินไปข้างนอก) ที่อุณหภูมิ 70-120 องศาเซลเซียส เปิดวอร์มเตาได้ที่ก่อนแล้วยัดเข้าไปได้เลย เลือกเวลาตามความเหมาะสม ดูให้น้ำในเนื้อหมูระเหย จนชิ้นเนื้อเริ่มแห้ง (ระหว่างรอให้เอาสับปะรดลูกเดิมที่เหลือจากคั้นน้ำนั่นแหละมานั่งกินรอเวลา)

พอครบเวลาแล้วไม่ว่าจะตากแดดหรือตากเตาได้ที่แล้วถ้ายังไม่กิน ให้เก็บเข้ากล่องถนอมอาหาร แล้วยัดตู้เย็นไปนอนหนาวรอได้เลย อารมณ์ดีวันไหนอยากกิน ค่อยแบ่งออกมาทอดเก็บกินได้ยาว ๆ

วิธีทอดหมูแดดเดียว
1. ตั้งกระทะกะน้ำมันให้ท่วมชิ้นหมู (ถ้าทอดไม่เยอะใช้หม้อใบเล็กใส่น้ำมันทอดแทนกระทะ ประหยัดน้ำมันได้เยอะครับ ถ้าที่บ้านมีฐานะ มีโรงหีบน้ำมันปาล์มเป็นของตัวเอง ใส่ได้ตามสบายเลยครับ จะเอาท่วมหมูหรือจะท่วมบ้านแล้วแต่ฟีลลิ่งเลย)
2. นำไปตั้งไฟกลางค่อนไปทางอ่อน รอจนน้ำมันร้อน
3. การสังเกตว่าน้ำมันร้อนใช้ได้แล้วไม่ยาก ใช้หลังมือครับ หลังมือเป็นส่วนที่รับรู้อุณหภูมิได้ไว ใช้หลังมือ... จุ่มลงไปที่น้ำมัน ถ้ามีฟองอากาศ รู้สึกว่าร้อน ร่างกายดึงมือออกมาโดยอัตโนมัติ แสดงว่าน้ำมันใช้ได้แล้ว หรืออีกวิธีในการเช็กความร้อนของน้ำมัน ให้ใช้หมูที่เราตากชิ้นเล็ก ๆ ใส่ไปดู ถ้ามีเสียงฉ่า ๆ มีฟอง มีน้ำมันกระเด็นดีดใส่ร่างกาย แปลว่าใช้ได้)
4. ทอดหมูดูให้พอเหลืองไม่ต้องออกดำมาก ***ยิ่งทอดนาน หมูยิ่งแข็ง ยิ่งดำไม่น่าทาน*** ปกติจะทอดประมาณสีน้ำตาล ๆ จนผิวเริ่มแห้ง แล้วช้อนขึ้นมาสะเด็ดน้ำมันไว้ ให้ความร้อนทำงานต่ออีกสัก 2-3 นาที สีจะเข้มขึ้นเล็กน้อย
5. เท่านี้ก็ได้ "คอหมูแดดเดียว" ที่รสชาติเข้าเนื้อ แถมชิ้นหมูแห้งแต่ข้างในนุ่มชุ่มฉ่ำ พร้อมเสิร์ฟกับข้าวเหนียวนุ่ม ๆ แล้ว

Chili's? Chocolate Chip Paradise Pie?

Chili's? Chocolate Chip Paradise Pie?
What makes this dessert so special is the way it
comes to your table sizzling in a cast iron skillet.
just like fajitas. The chocolate chip cookie and graham
cracker crust "pie" is topped with a scoop of vanilla
ice cream, and then drizzled with chocolate and caramel
syrup. It's all served up in a hot skillet of cinnamon
butter. Yum! If you want to prepare this one just like
they do at the restaurant, you'll need one of those
skillets for each serving. Small iron skillets work the
best, but any 6 or 8-inch frying pan will do fine.
You just have to be sure your pan is super hot to get
that authentic Chili's "sizzle." If you don't have enough
of the right pans for each serving, you can slide it all
onto a plate. It may not have the sizzle of the real thing,
but it'll still taste awesome!
Cookie Layer
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup butter (1 stick), softened
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1 tablespoon milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup shredded coconut
Crust Layer
6 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1 1/4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Cinnamon Butter
1/2 cup butter (1 stick), softened
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
9 scoops vanilla ice cream
chocolate syrup
caramel syrup
6 tablespoons chopped walnuts
1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
2. Combine the flour, baking soda and baking powder in a
medium bowl.
3. In a separate large bowl, beat together the butter and
sugar with an electric mixer. Continue beating for about
30 seconds or until mixture turns lighter in color. Add the egg,
milk, and vanilla and beat until smooth.
4. Slowly mix the dry mixture into the wet mixture. Beat until
well-combined and then mix in the coconut flakes. Set this cookie
dough aside for now.
5. Melt 6 tablespoons of butter in a medium bowl in the microwave
on high temperature for about 30 seconds. Add the sugar and stir
well for 30 seconds. Add the graham cracker crumbs and stir. Press
this mixture into the bottom of a 9x9-inch baking dish or pan.
6. Sprinkle the cup of chocolate chips evenly over the graham cracker
crust.
7. Press the cookie dough into the dish, covering the chocolate
chips. Use flour on your fingers to keep the soft dough from sticking.
8. Sprinkle the chopped walnuts over the dough. Use your fingers to
press the nuts into the dough.
9. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the edges of the “pie” become
light brown.
10. Prepare the cinnamon butter by creaming together the butter,
sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl with an electric mixer on high
speed.
11. When you are ready to make your dessert, heat up a small skillet
over medium heat. When the skillet is hot, remove it from the heat
then add about 1 tablespoon of the cinnamon butter to the pan.
It should quickly melt and sizzle. Slice the “pie” into 9 pieces
and place one into the hot skillet. If the “pie” has cooled,
you can reheat each slice by zapping it in the microwave for
30-40 seconds.
12. Place a scoop of ice cream on top of the “pie.” Drizzle
chocolate and caramel syrup over the dessert and then sprinkle
about 2 teaspoons of chopped walnuts over the top. Repeat for
the remaining ingredients and serve sizzling in the skillet.
Makes 9 desserts.

Chili's? Nacho Burger

Chili's? Nacho Burger
Here's a clone recipe for a delicious new burger from Chili's
unlike any you may have tasted before. It was designed by
the folks at this popular chain to incorporate several of
restaurant's prepared sides -- all of which you will now
have clones for -- including Chili's chili queso, Chili's
pico de gallo, and Chili's guacamole. Stack it all onto a
bun with a juicy 1/4-pound ground beef patty and some crumbled
tortilla chips for crunch, and you've got a slightly spicy,
South-of-the-border taste. Muy bien, amigos!
Pico de Gallo
2 medium tomatoes, diced
1/2 cup diced Spanish onion
2 teaspoons chopped fresh jalapeno pepper, seeded and de-ribbed
2 teaspoons finely minced fresh cilantro
Pinch of salt
Guacamole
2 small or 1 large Haas avocado
2 tablespoons sour cream
1/4 cup diced tomato
1/2 teaspoon diced jalapeno
1/4 teaspoon chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 teaspoon lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon salt
Chili Queso
3 ounces ground beef
1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
pinch of salt
pinch of ground black pepper
16-ounce bottle Cheez Whiz
2 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon paprika
2 pounds ground beef
4 large sesame seed buns
2 cups iceberg lettuce, shredded or chopped thin
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 green onion, chopped
16-20 tortilla chips
2-3 fresh jalapenos, sliced
1. First make the pico de gallo. This is easy. Just combine all
of the ingredients for the pico in a small bowl and mix well.
Cover bowl and chill in the refrigerator.
2. Now we'll make the guacamole. In a small bowl, smash up most
of the avocado, but be sure to leave several unsmashed chunks.
Add the remaining ingredients for the guacamole to the avocado
and mix well. Cover bowl and chill in the refrigerator, next to
the pico.
3. Next we'll make the chili queso. In yet another small bowl, mix
together ground beef, flour, a pinch of salt, a pinch of black
pepper, and a pinch of chili powder. Use your hands to work the
dry ingredients into the ground beef. Brown the beef in a small
skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Use a spoon or
spatula to crumble the beef as it cooks. Cook until it's brown,
then set aside.
4. Melt the Cheez Whiz with 2 tablespoons of milk over low heat.
When milk and cheese has been combined, add the remaining queso
ingredients. Heat while stirring often until cheese is smooth
and creamy, then cover saucepan and remove it from the heat.
5. Pre-heat a griddle or large frying pan over medium heat.
Lightly butter the face of each bun and brown the buns face-down
on the heat.
6. Separate the ground beef into four 1/2-pound portions. Roll
each portion of meat into a ball and then pat the meat down into
a circular patty slightly larger in diameter than the hamburger
buns. Cook the hamburger patties for 5-10 minutes per side, until
done. Lightly salt and pepper each burger patty.
7. Build the burger open-faced in the following order starting
with the bottom bun:
On Bottom Bun
1/2 cup shredded lettuce
hamburger patty
2 tablespoons chili queso
4 or 5 crumbled tortilla chips
2 teaspoons green onion
On Top Bun
1/2 tablespoon mayonnaise
2 tablespoons pico de gallo
2 tablespoons guacamole
4 jalapeno slices
Serve burger with extra queso and guacamole. May also serve french
fries on the side and use the chili queso for dipping.
Makes 4 burgers.

Chili's? Southwestern Eggrolls

Chili's? Southwestern Eggrolls
Many people have hopped on the cloning bandwagon for
this recipe. Unfortunately the "clone" recipes that
are floating around out there for this dish are pretty
lame. So into the TSR test kitchen we go, and out comes
the closest thing you'll ever savor next to actually
eating the real thing. These "eggrolls" are made with
flour tortillas, stuffed with a spicy blend of corn,
green onions, black beans, spinach, jalapeno peppers,
monterey jack cheese and spices. When you add the creamy
avocado ranch dipping sauce, you're tastebuds will begin
to party. Make these several hours before you plan to serve
them so that they can freeze solid before frying. This will
help to make the outside a dark golden brown, and the
eggrolls will stay folded without letting any oil seep into
the filling. This is how they cook 'em at the restaurant
chain. And now you can check out the video for a hands-on
demonstration.
1 chicken breast fillet
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 tablespoons minced red bell pepper
2 tablespoons minced green onion
1/3 cup frozen corn
1/4 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
2 tablespoons frozen spinach, thawed and drained
2 tablespoons diced, canned jalapeno peppers
1/2 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
dash cayenne pepper
3/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
five 7-inch flour tortillas
Avocado-ranch dipping sauce
1/4 cup smashed, fresh avocado (about half of an avocado)
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon buttermilk
1 1/2 teaspoons white vinegar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon dried parsley
1/8 teaspoon onion powder
dash dried dill weed
dash garlic powder
dash pepper
Garnish
2 tablespoons chopped tomato
1 tablespoon chopped onion
1. Preheat barbecue grill to high heat.
2. Rub the chicken breast with some vegetable oil then grill
it on the barbecue for 4 to 5 minutes per side or until done.
Lightly salt and pepper each side of the chicken while it cooks.
Set chicken aside until it cools down enough to handle.
3. Preheat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a medium-size skillet
over medium-high heat.
4. Add the red pepper and onion to the pan and saut? for a couple
minutes until tender.
5. Dice the cooked chicken into small cubes and add it to the pan.
Add the corn, black beans, spinach, jalapeno peppers, parsley,
cumin, chili powder, salt, and cayenne pepper to the pan. Cook
for another 4 minutes. Stir well so that the spinach separates
and is incorporated into the mixture.
6. Remove the pan from the heat and add the cheese. Stir until the
cheese is melted.
7. Wrap the tortillas in a moist cloth and microwave on high
temperature for 1 1/2 minutes or until hot.
8. Spoon approximately one-fifth of the mixture into the center
of a tortilla. Fold in the ends and then roll the tortilla over
the mixture. Roll the tortilla very tight, then pierce with a
toothpick to hold together. Repeat with the remaining ingredients
until you have five eggrolls. Arrange the eggrolls on a plate,
cover the plate with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours.
Overnight is best.
9. While the eggrolls freeze prepare the avocado-ranch dipping
sauce by combining all of the ingredients in a small bowl.
10. Preheat 4-6 cups of oil to 375 degrees.
11. Deep fry the eggrolls in the hot oil for 12-15 minutes and
remove to paper towels or a rack to drain for about 2 minutes.
12. Slice each eggroll diagonally lengthwise and arrange on a
plate around a small bowl of the dipping sauce. Garnish the
dipping sauce with the chopped tomato and onion.
