Crites Family Stuff

Description

We gave this out for Christmas one year to the neighborhood. I know you are not supposed to use raw eggs, maybe you could use eggbeaters or a similar product. I have always used raw eggs and never had a problem. But I also eat raw cookie dough!!

Ingredients for 8 servings

• 1 cup butter
• 4 egg yolks
• 1 cup honey
• 1 tsp vanilla

Steps

1. Beat until "fluffyish". This keeps well in the fridge for a long time.

I found this recipe in the Kerr's canning book. It is the best I have ever tasted - even better than my mother's which I grew up with.

Ingredients for 6 servings

• Apples
• 1 cup vinegar
• 8 cups sugar
• 4 tsp cinnamon

Steps

1. Core and slice apples, but do not peel. Add only enough water to cook apples until soft. Press through fine sieve and measure to get 16 cups of thick apple pulp. Combine all ingredients. Cook until mixture remains in a smooth mass when a little is cooled (about 1-1/2 hours boiling). Very important that you stir frequently to prevent burning. Pour into sterilized jars to within 1/2 inch of top. Put on cap, screw band firmly and process in boiling water bath 10 minutes. It yields 6 pints. If you have a Victorio, you can process the apples in it.

I found this recipe in a Kerr canning book and thought it would be something my husband, Jack, would particularly enjoy and he did! as well as other family members.

Ingredients for 28 servings

• Apples
• 5 cups sugar
• 10 cups water
• 3 tsp cinnamon
• .25 tsp red food coloring, more if desired

Steps

1. Make the syrup first by boiling together for one minute the sugar, water and cinnamon. Then add the red food coloring. Choose a good cooking/canning apple. Peel and core apples and put into clean canning jars. You can slice them or cut into chunks. Pour the hot syrup over the apples in the canning jars, screw on lids and process according to directions in a canning book for apples in your area. (Cooking times change according to altitude.) For the Provo, Utah area the processing time would be 35 minutes for quarts and 30 minutes for pints.

A huge favorite of our family! Surgeon General's Warning: the combined contents of this recipe may be addictive.

Ingredients for 24 servings

• 12 cups rolled oats (not quick)
• 1 cup sesame seeds
• 1.5 cups roasted/no salt pumpkin seeds
• 1.5 cups raw sunflower seeds
• 1 cup sliced almonds
• 1 cup extra light virgin olive oil
• 1 cup honey
• 1.5 cups brown sugar
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 tsp vanilla

Steps

1. In a large bowl, stir together all oats, seeds, and nuts.
2. In a small saucepan, mix together the oil, honey, sugar, and salt. Heat until just before boiling to dissolve sugar. Then add the vanilla.
3. Pour liquid over the dry ingredients and mix well. Spray pans thoroughly with cooking oil. Divide the granola into two large sided cookie sheets. Press firmly (I use a small rolling pin) so it can be cut into bars after baking. Bake at 350F for 15 minutes. Cool and cut into pieces. Store in zip-lock bags and freeze until ready to use.
