Chutney

Submitted by: D74LeadinLady

Here is the recipe I listed the other day when trying to figure out what a cooking apple meant.  I did a test run with this chutney and it was pretty awesome if I do say so myself.  Some people use this a a condiment with a poultry dish (so you can eat it with your Thanksgiving turkey!) I've been eating it with Rtiz crackers and some cream cheese.

Ingredients:
  • 1 (12 ounce) bag fresh or frozen cranberries 
  • 1 1/4 cups sugar 
  • 3/4 cup water 
  • 1 large cooking apple, chopped 
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger 
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

Directions:
  • In a saucepan, combine all ingredients; bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat; simmer for 15-20 minutes or until apple is tender and mixture thickens. Cool completely.
  • Store in the refrigerator. Serve over cream cheese with crackers or as a condiment with pork, ham or chicken.

"To die for" Chocolate Pecan Pie

Submitted by: MrsPH

Every year, my mom takes pie requests from the men in the family for Thanksgiving.  Last year, my husband requested a pecan pie and so my mom made this recipe from Emeril... And let me tell you it is "to die for". I have made it a few times since then (it's incredibly easy to make esp. when you use a ready made crust) and I have yet to hear anyone say they didn't like it.

*Recipe from Emeril Lagasse*

Ingredients:
  • 1 1/2 cups pecans 
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips 
  • 1 unbaked 9-inch pie shell 
  • 4 eggs, beaten 
  • 1/2 cup sugar 
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar 
  • 1/2 cup corn syrup 
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 
  • Pinch salt

Directions:
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Spread the pecan pieces and the chocolate chips evenly on the bottom of the pie shell.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk the remaining ingredients together. Pour the filling over the pecans. Bake until the filling sets, 50 to 60 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool for 30 minutes before slicing.
  • Serving suggestions include: Caramel or confectioners' sugar on top or with vanilla ice cream.  We never served it with any as it is pretty perfect on its own.

  • Spoon batter into prepared pan.
  • Bake for 60-70 minutes or until wooden pick inserted into center comes out clean.

    Roasted Vegetable Soup

    Submitted by: aortiz59
     
    A good rule of thumb for this recipe is for every cup of pureed vegetables use the same amount of stock. Be careful to re-season with salt and pepper.
    *Recipe taken from Barefoot Contessa Family Style*
    Yields 3 to 4 servings.



    Ingredients:
    • 3 to 4 c. chicken stock
    • 3 to 4 c. roasted vegetables
    • Salt and pepper, to taste

    Directions:
    • In a large saucepan, heat 3 cups of chicken stock. Coarsely puree the vegetables and the stock in the bowl of a food processor. Pour the soup back into the pot and season to taste. Thin the soup with more chicken stock and reheat. The soup should be thick but not like a vegetable puree, so add more chicken stock and/or water until it is the consistency that you like.

    Autumn Vegetable Medley

    Submitted by: aortiz59

    My family doesn't
    put this on the table for Thanksgiving, but I made this for my H and I a few days ago for our own mini-Thanksgiving at home. It makes a lot of vegetables, so if you are making this for just two people you will have a ton of leftovers. I've included a recipe for roasted vegetable soup, which is a great way to use leftovers because leftover roasted vegetables get soggy when heated up again.

    *Recipe taken from Taste of Home*

    Yields 7 servings.

    Ingredients:

    • 3 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into small wedges
    • 2 medium red peppers, cut into 1-inch pieces
    • 1 small butternut squash, peeled and cubed
    • 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and cubed
    • 1 medium red onion, quartered
    • 3 tbs. olive oil
    • 2 tbs. balsamic vinegar
    • 2 tsp. dried rosemary, crushed
    • 1 tsp. dried thyme
    • 1 tsp. salt
    • ½ tsp. pepper

    Directions:

    • Preheat oven to 425°.
    • In a large bowl, combine potatoes, red peppers, squash, sweet potato, and onion. In a small bowl, whisk the oil, vinegar, and seasonings. Pour over vegetables and toss to coat.
    • Transfer to a lightly greased baking sheet, lined with foil. Bake, uncovered, for 30-40 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally.

    Cranberry Cheesecake

    Submitted by: wamozart12

    This is a great way to use up leftover cranberry sauce. I've alwaysjust used canned whole berry cranberry sauce if I don't have leftover homemade sauce.

    Ingredients for Crust:
    • 1/2 cup flour
    • 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
    • 1/4 cup light brown sugar
    • 4 tablespoons butter, melted
    • 1/8 teaspoon salt

    • 16 oz cream cheese, at room temperature
    • 1/2 cup sugar
    • 2 tablespoons flour
    • 2 large eggs
    • 1 heaping tablespoon frozen orange juice concentrate
    • zest of 1 orange (optional)

    Directions:

    • Preheat oven to 350. Grease or spray with baking spray a 9" round or14x4" tart pan (or 8x8 square baking dish to make cheesecake bars). In a small bowl, add the butter, sugar, flour, oats and salt, mix thoroughly with a fork. Press into bottom of the pan. Use the bottom of a measuring cup to flatten and press firmly. Bake 15 minutes or until just golden.
    • Meanwhile, cream together the cream cheese and sugar. Add the egg, orange juice concentrate and flour, beat until smooth. Pour over the crust. Dot with cranberry sauce and swirl with the tip of a knife. Bake 30-35 minutes or until set. Cool in pan on wire rack. Serve tartat room temperature.

    Broccoli & Cheese Casserole

    Submitted by: MrsMcC091909

    Ingredients:

    • 1/2 lb. cold sliced chicken
      1 lb. broccoli crowns
      3 tbsp. freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
    • 2 tbsp. unsalted butter plus 1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
    • 2 cloves finely minced garlic
    • 1/2 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs or crushed Ritz crackers
    • 1/2 tsp. paprika
    • 3 tbsp. fresh parsley, minced

    Directions:

    • Steam or briefly boil broccoli until for about 5 minutes (depends on maturity of the broccoli), or until almost, but not quite tender. Plunge into cold water to stop the cooking. The broccoli should be a bright green in color and should retain a crisp crunch.
    • In a 2 1/2 quart casserole, melt butter and olive oil in microwave with minced garlic until butter has melted and garlic is sizzling. Toss bread crumbs with the melted butter mixture, to coat; stir in parsley.
    • Scoop most of the bread crumb mixture onto a sheet of wax paper, and set aside (some bread crumbs may remain in casserole to make a base for the chicken).
    • Arrange cooked chicken slices in a layer along the bottom of the casserole and top with the steamed broccoli. Cover with sauce (below). Sprinkle with the buttered breadcrumbs or crushed Ritz crackers. Top with grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. Sprinkle with paprika for extra color and a piquant flavor.
    • Brown on the top third shelf in a 350°F. oven for about 15 minutes or until nicely golden.

    **Variation: Cooked elbow macaroni and sliced mushrooms may be added before being topped with the sauce.

    Sauce Ingredients:

    • 1 cup milk or cream
    • 1/2 tsp. salt2 tbsp. butter
    • 2 tbsp. flour
    • 1/2 cup Gruyere or sharp Cheddar cheese
    • 1/2 tsp. Coleman's Mustard

    Sauce Directions:

    • In a microwavable bowl, melt butter; whisk in flour and when blended, slowly stir in milk. Heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally until mixture thickens. Beat a few tablespoons of the hot liquid into 1 egg yolk; then transfer the egg yolk back into the sauce, whisking quickly. Add 1/2 cup Gruyere or sharp Cheddar cheese and 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard. Microwave another 1 or 2 minutes or until cheese has melted.

    Tip:

    To save on clean-up and extra preparation steps, (an important consideration in the Cooks.com Test Kitchen!) this sauce is easiest to prepare in a microwave, but may also be made in a double boiler, as is done traditionally.

    Pumpkin Molasses Pie

    Submitted by: Mrs. Zee

    This is from Rachel Ray Magazine.

    Ingredients:

    • 1 sheet frozen piecrust, thawed (I just used a regular frozen pie crust already in the tin)

    • One 15-ounce can pure pumpkin puree

    • 1/2 cup granulated sugar

    • 1/4 cup light brown sugar

    • 2 large eggs

    • 1 cup evaporated milk

    • 2 tablespoons unsulfured molasses

    • 1 1/4 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice

    • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

    • 1/8 teaspoon salt


    Top this
    Garnish with piecrust baked in cookie-cutter shapes.

    Directions:

    • Position a rack on the lowest shelf of the oven and preheat to 450°. Fit the piecrust into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Crimp the edges to form a 1/4-inch-high border. Prick the bottom and sides of the crust with a fork. Bake until pale golden-brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Lower the oven temperature to 325°.

    • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar and eggs until smooth. Whisk in the milk, molasses, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla and salt. Pour the mixture into the piecrust and bake until the center is just set, about 55 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool completely.

    ***I probably baked mine for closer to 90 minutes, depends on your oven!

    What was left of the pie :o):

    Welcome to the Niner Recipe Exchange!

    Welcome everyone!

    Bare with me while I try to get the layout of the blog figured out. This is my first blogging experience believe it or not!

    Lets start with an explanation of how this works:
    • We're going to start by doing this bi-weekly, but if that gets to be too much, we'll switch to Monthly.
    • Each time there will be a category or theme for the recipes to be submitted (ex: dessert, appetizer.. etc.).
    • If you have a recipe to share, please include an ingredient list and step-by-step instructions whenever possible.
    • If you have pictures to go with your recipe, that's even better!
    • Recipes will be categorized for easy navigation on this blog.
    • After you try out a recipe, feel free to share a review!

    Shortly, I will be choosing the first category and will start taking recipes to be posted here.
