  • – and beef bones
  • 2 md Onions, trimmed, quartered
  • – don’t peel
  • 2 lg Carrots, peeled, trimmed
  • – coarsely chopped

  • 2 Bay leaf
  • 2 Cloves
  • 3/4 ts Salt, coarse
  • 8 Peppercorns

Directions
Preheat oven to 450 F. Put the oil in a roasting pan and heat briefly in the oven. Add the bones to the oil in the pan, toss to coat and roast for 35 minutes. Add the onions, carrots, celery, leek, garlic and parsley, tossing them all to coat with fat. Roast 30 minutes longer. Remove the pan from the oven and transfer the bones and vegetables to a clean stockpot. Drain off as much of the fat as possible. Place the roasting pan over medium-high heat (use 2 burners if necessary), and add 2 cups of cold water and boil briefly. Scrape up all of the browned bits into the water. Transfer the liquid to the stock pot and add enough cold water to cover. Bring slowly to a boil, skimming off all of the froth that forms. Lower the heat and add tomatoes, thyme, bay leaves, cloves and salt. Simmer uncovered for 6 to 8 hours adding water as necessary just to cover the ingredients. Skim whenever necessary. Add peppercorns for the last 15 minutes of the simmering. Strain the “soup” into a large bowl through a colander lined with a double layer of dampened cheesecloth. Gently press the solids to extract all of the liquid, and discard the solids. Pour the stock into containers for storage and label and date them. The stock will “keep” for up to 3 days in a refrigerator, and up to 6 months in a freezer.

Grandma’s Gingerbread House

Servings: 1 Servings
Category: Basics | Cookies
Ingredients

  • 5 c Flour
  • 1 ts Baking soda
  • 1 ts Salt
  • 2 ts Ginger
  • 2 ts Cinnamon
  • 1 ts Nutmeg
  • 1 ts Cloves
  • 1 c Shortening
  • 1 c Sugar
  • 1 1/4 c Molasses
  • 2 Eggs; beaten

Directions
——————————–ROYAL ICING——————————– 2 lb Powdered sugar 6 Egg whites 1 ts Cream of tartar 1. Thoroughly blend flour, soda, salt and spices. Melt shortening in large saucepan. Add sugar, molasses and eggs; mix well. Cool, then add four cups of the blended dry ingredients and mix well. Preheat oven to 350F. 2. Turn mixture onto lightly floured surface. Knead in remaining dry ingredients by hand. Add a little more flour, if necessary, to make a firm dough. 3. Roll out dough on flat cookie sheets. Lay gingerbread house patterns lightly on rolled-out dough and cut around edges with sharp knife. Pick up scraps around cut pieces. Continue rolling out dough and cutting out pieces on cookie sheets, making sure to keep walls, roof and small pieces on separate cookie sheets. Bake one cookie sheet at a time in preheated oven. Large pieces may bake as long as fourteen minutes, depending on thickness . For small pieces, rolled thinly, six or seven minutes may be enough. Check frequently to avoid over-browning. 4. Remove from cookie sheets and cool about 30 minutes on wire racks. Then cover a flat surface with paper toweling and place baked pieces on it to dry overnight before assembling house. 5. Assemble gingerbread house using Royal Icing: 2 lb powdered sugar, 6 egg whites, 1 tsp cream of tartar. This dough is delicious and rolls out smoothly. The baked dough is strong and rigid to support weight of candy and icing trims, and the house is very easy to put together. The icing will dry quickly and hold tight. Be sure to keep the icing covered with a damp cloth while not using. Here are the measurements of my gingerbread house pattern pieces: Side Walls (2): 7 5/8″ x 4 7/8″ House Front & Back (2): 7″ x 4 7/8″ high at sides, 8 3/8″ high at center Roof (2): 8 3/4″ x 6 1/8″ Chimney (2): 2 1/8″ x 2 7/8″ high at sides, 1 7/8″ high at center Chimney sides (2): 1 1/8″ x 2 7/8″ Door: 1 1/2″ x 3 1/4″ high at center (top is rounded) posted by Jeanne Geake Posted to MM-Recipes Digest by Helen.Peagram@salata.com (Helen Peagram) on 98
