</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">These crunchy, vanilla-spiced nuts are a great on-the-go snack, as Sloey proved :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">A few years when I had a Redwall feast, I sewed small pouches, filled them with candied nuts, tied them shut with ribbon and gave them out as party favors. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMOe9Bz_nd_74crHmh-64Wc3xaL_txpGvqZbpZEhww5gAHdVEB1CkRA_h-_vXsOA6l-3Oj3otpxDNYnENGUZQbq66ZUdb0d0bqsaxDunOPWR4yhXth6LywxzRBB0cN2H-Wj4XLEKAhmkGW/s1600/Candied+Nuts+007.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMOe9Bz_nd_74crHmh-64Wc3xaL_txpGvqZbpZEhww5gAHdVEB1CkRA_h-_vXsOA6l-3Oj3otpxDNYnENGUZQbq66ZUdb0d0bqsaxDunOPWR4yhXth6LywxzRBB0cN2H-Wj4XLEKAhmkGW/s400/Candied+Nuts+007.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">They're quick, easy, and any nut can be used - chestnuts and hazelnuts are Redwall favorites, but today I used almonds. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>Candied Nuts</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Makes 1 cup of nuts</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">theredwallcook.blogspot.com</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>Ingredients:</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">-2 Tbsp. water</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">-1/4 cup granulated sugar</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">-1/2 tsp. cinnamon</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">-1 tsp. pure vanilla extract</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">-1 cup raw nuts </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">1. Combine water, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla in a medium saucepan. Heat over medium heat until sugar is dissolved and mixture is boiling (this will only take a short time). </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">2. Add the nuts to the pan and stir to coat. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. After two minutes have passed, stir vigorously. The sugar will begin to crystallize on the nuts. It will go from a thick, caramel-y stage to a dusty-looking stage. When it just reaches this 'dusty' stage, remove pan from heat and continue to stir vigorously for about 30 seconds. Place nuts on a plate and allow to cool completely before enjoying. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>Note: </b>I made this recipe with 1 1/2 cups of almonds, but decided they needed more coating and changed the recipe to 1 cup nuts. Therefore, nuts made with this recipe will be slightly more coated than those pictured.</div>Margeauxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08557903396539405806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1021496545763671102.post-75687020740750530552010-05-22T19:45:00.000-07:002010-05-22T19:53:00.482-07:00Traveling Fruit and Honey Cake<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSTI9NTxP0XCbNpydYRiTTjakTJXWYJnihpCucgL3SooNAiPAH78gF8xinrSb4iqmKlsxB2-5B5X0aGRWN2swxORDiqr4l9IPDkPA7wBuVDA6gtOquaWr2GzYrZJapfanmJbkAZo4LSKrD/s1600/Traveling+Bread+033.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSTI9NTxP0XCbNpydYRiTTjakTJXWYJnihpCucgL3SooNAiPAH78gF8xinrSb4iqmKlsxB2-5B5X0aGRWN2swxORDiqr4l9IPDkPA7wBuVDA6gtOquaWr2GzYrZJapfanmJbkAZo4LSKrD/s400/Traveling+Bread+033.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This cake is hearty, moist, lightly-spiced, and studded with cranberries, currants, and apple - in a nutshell, a perfect 'journeying' food. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">It's topped with almonds, and filled with ingredients like freshly squeezed orange juice, tea, and allspice. It might sound a bit like fruitcake, but I promise - this tender, mildly-flavored cake is much tastier (that is, unless you love fruitcake).</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">On top of all that, it's easy to make, and as far as most cakes go, fool-proof. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px;">1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Spray and flour 1 large loaf pan and 1 mini loaf pan (if you don't have a mini loaf pan, you could make a few muffins - adjust the baking time as necessary). Measure 1/2 cup + 2 tbsp. hot water into a measuring cup and add the tea bag. Set aside to steep.</span><br />

Set aside. Whisk together the 1 3/4 cups flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices. Make a well in the center and add the oil, honey, sugars, eggs, orange juice, and vanilla. Remove the tea bag from the measuring cup and add the tea as well. Mix thoroughly, making sure to incorporate all the dry ingredients. Add the fruit and stir gently until just combined. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px;">3. Divide the batter between the pans. Sprinkle almonds over batter, and bake for 50 min. to 1 hour, until the surface of the cakes are browned and slightly springy, and a skewer inserted into the centers comes out clean (the small loaf may take slightly less time). Cool for 15 min. before removing from pans (I waited all night, and the cakes were difficult to remove). </span><br />

</div>This week has been crazy-busy - I've been helping plan and produce a home-school prom, which will take place this weekend. There's been lots of cooking involved. Our theme is 'Asian Garden', and our menu includes teriyaki chicken, broccoli slaw, and a custom ice cream sundae bar.<br />
<br />
Yesterday I made a couple gallons of teriyaki sauce, and today I'm figuring out how to make a huge quantity of rice. I've also been planning and starting a kitchen garden. With all this, I haven't had time to try a new Redwall recipe.<br />
<br />
However, I'm planning on relaxing and making lots of delicious food next week, and I'm sure some of it will make it's way here. I brought a new batch of Redwall books home from the library, and they were very inspiring. I want to make more desserts and fruit dishes, as well Mossflower Wedge and homemade bread.<br />
<br />
Okay, I officially need to stop thinking about this! I'm on a (very) mini-diet in order to drop a couple pounds before the dance (so I'll be more comfortable in my fitted dress), and writing/thinking about food is not helping :)Margeauxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08557903396539405806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1021496545763671102.post-36042408988149605272010-05-06T19:47:00.000-07:002010-05-08T19:12:00.520-07:00Apple Turnovers<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7tIRN-SglBsR5Qep1YribX9wpigurIrOZCHnde5gEJsfnVqcFLysK7mzrHxOKiRfneoCj64EzWOxFPndRjUNH6V2QyKUuyNiTccSuYoH2kw7QaGcXvyGPJpeioPUSiFQpCQROPp-eY3Zu/s1600/Apple+Turnovers+016.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7tIRN-SglBsR5Qep1YribX9wpigurIrOZCHnde5gEJsfnVqcFLysK7mzrHxOKiRfneoCj64EzWOxFPndRjUNH6V2QyKUuyNiTccSuYoH2kw7QaGcXvyGPJpeioPUSiFQpCQROPp-eY3Zu/s400/Apple+Turnovers+016.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> * I had a quote from a Redwall book (I believe it was <i>Martin the Warrior</i>) that mentioned apple turnovers, so I made them this week.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>Directions:</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">1. Preheat oven to 425 F. Roll out the crust to 1/8" thickness (directions on how to do this can be found <a href="http://theredwallcook.blogspot.com/2010/04/basic-redwall-recipe-pie-crust.html">here</a>). Using a 3" x 5" index card as a template, cut out as many rectangles of crust as will fit. Move rectangles to a plate, re-roll crust, and repeat until all crust is used. Place rectangles in the freezer. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">2. Cut the apple into small (1/4" x 1/4") chunks. Combine with brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">3. Measure a small amount of both milk and raw sugar into separate bowls. Remove the crust rectangles from the freezer and arrange them on baking sheets. Place a scant tablespoon of filling to one side on each rectangle. Brush the edges with milk and fold in half. Pinch to seal and press edges together with a fork. Brush the turnovers with milk, sprinkle with raw sugar, and poke a hole in the top of each using a fork.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">4. Bake turnovers for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown (juice may leak out and burn; this will not effect the turnovers). Cool for a few minutes before serving warm, or serve room temperature. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;"><i>"In the absence of kitchen staff, who were part of Boorab's wallguard, Mhera and Gundil helped Filorn and Friar Bobb to make the supper. Between them they made cabbage and fennel bake into pasties, which they parceled up with table linen, placing the raspberry cream turnovers on trays and filling a clean pail with dandelion cordial."</i></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i>-The Taggerung, p. 246</i></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i><br />
</i></div><div style="text-align: left;">Dandelion cordial struck me as one of Redwall's strangest beverages - I had to try it immediately. It certainly seems odd to make a drink out of what many consider a weed. After a little research, I decided to make a dandelion-flower infused simple syrup, served with sparkling water and ice. It has a unique, sweet, bitter/nutty flavor. It seems to me to be the kind of thing you'll either love or hate - if you can't stand the smell of dandelions, you certainly will fall into the latter group. If you think you'll like it, give it a try! It's easy, and very refreshing. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">~</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">First, gather dandelions. You'll need about 100 flower heads. Most yards have an overabundance - ours no exception.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

In everything from flans to pasties, pie crust is an important and delicious component. Here's my basic recipe and method. It tastes great, but like any baker I'm continuously learning how to make my crust better. If you have your own recipe, feel free to use it and ignore this post. If you don't, or if you're not a practiced pie crust maker, don't be afraid - it's probably easier than you think. It simply takes is patience and practice.</div></div><div style="text-align: left;"> I use a food processor, but pie crust can be made by hand. If you want pictures and tips on how to do that, just Google it. There are lots of great resources. </div><div style="text-align: left;"> Pie crust doesn't have to be perfect. You'll see the truth of that after reading this post. 90% of the time, imperfect pie crust is still delicious and it certainly tastes better than store-bought. If you're still not convinced, store-bought pie crust can of course be substituted in Redwall recipes. </div><div style="text-align: center;">~<br />
<div style="text-align: left;"><b>1. Making the Pastry</b></div><div style="text-align: left;">This is where I'd generally have an 'assembled ingredients' picture, but I think it's a bad idea to assemble pie crust ingredients. The fats (butter and shortening) should be as cold as possible, so leave them in the refrigerator until the last minute. It's important to work quickly throughout the entire process.</div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">At this point, you have a few options:</div><div style="text-align: left;">1) If you want to use the pastry as soon as possible, stick it in the freezer for 2 hours.</div><div style="text-align: left;">2) If you want to use it in the next 24 hours, put it in the refrigerator.</div><div style="text-align: left;">3) If you do not need to use it in the next 24 hours, put the discs in a Ziploc bag and place in the freezer. A few hours before use, put the pastry in the fridge to thaw a bit. It will last in the freezer for up to 6 months.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"> I like to keep pastry on hand in my freezer. I find it too time-consuming to make pastry, chill it, and bake a pie all on the same day. I usually make 2 batches this size, put the plastic-wrapped discs in a large Ziploc bag, and freeze, thawing in the fridge as mentioned before use. This really speeds up the preparation of Redwall-themed meals. It's not required, obviously, but I definitely suggest it.<br />

If you're not making a pie with your pastry, stop here and proceed with your other recipe.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

1. Measure 1/2 cup water into a small bowl and put it in freezer. Measure the flour, salt, and sugar into food processor bowl and pulse until thoroughly combined, approx. 10 seconds.<br />
<br />
2. Cut the butter into small chunks. Add it to the flour mixture and process until the mixture resembles crumbs, approx. 5-10 seconds. Add the shortening and pulse again for the same amount of time.<br />
<br />
3. Add most of the water to the food processor and pulse 4-5 times. The mixture should form large chunks and come together into a ball. If necessary, add the rest of the water.<br />
<br />
4. Dump the crust into a large bowl. Shape it into a ball and cut the ball in half. For each half: place on a large piece of plastic wrap, flatten and shape into a disc, and wrap tightly. Freeze for two hours, or follow alternate directions above.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;">Directions:</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;">1. Prepare vegetables. Combine flour, seasoning mix, and a dash of both salt and pepper (about 1/8 tsp. each) in a small bowl. Set this mixture, butter, and stock next to stove-top. </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;">2. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat for 1-2 minutes; add vegetable oil and diced veggies (if using frozen green beans, don't add at this time).</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;">Sauté veggies for about 3 minutes, until just tender. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;">3. Scoot veggies to one side of the pan and reduce heat to low. In cleared area of pan, melt butter. Sprinkle flour/seasoning mix over butter and whisk butter and flour together to form a roux. Combine with vegetables (add frozen green beans at this time).</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;">Add vegetable stock and stir to combine. Allow gravy to thicken for approx. 2-3 minutes. Turn off heat and set filling aside to cool.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;">4. Preheat oven to 425 F. Roll out pie crust to 1/8" thickness. Cut 2 7"-8" rounds from the pastry, gather scraps, re-roll, and cut two more. Arrange circles on a baking sheet or jelly roll pan. Whisk egg yolk with a bit of water until brush-able. Brush egg yolk around half of the edge of each pastry circle. Put 1/2 cup of filling on each pastry round, next to egg yolk. Fold pasties in half and press the edges together with a fork to seal. Brush each pasty with egg yolk and sprinkle with salt.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;">5. Bake pasties for about 10 minutes, until golden brown. If they brown too quickly, reduce heat to 400 F. Enjoy warm or room temperature. </span></span></div></div></div></div>Margeauxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08557903396539405806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1021496545763671102.post-36012631192793228052010-04-15T05:51:00.001-07:002010-06-04T19:39:36.852-07:00All Recipes<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://theredwallcook.blogspot.com/2010/05/apple-turnovers.html"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHm-4Bon6YZ1ZY7YbKkenySzAxmBqbjJDYFrBJCTVK8niPLgO1YKfBDssH2lzPA2sAaSAwW1nLqGiRKRGDF2YcwGSTM_EyiyLdPPy0_IOu5_ehDznBaBkXmMmJSM3c0WX-Rj-D-qpgBAuJ/s400/Apple+Turnovers+023.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

This sweet and fresh 'summer salad' is a perfect counterpoint to a warm soup or crusty pasty. It combines the contrasting flavors of crunchy butter lettuce, tart strawberries, caramel-y pecans, and a light vinaigrette.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;">~</span></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;">I'll break the salad preparation into three different components: candied pecans, vinaigrette, and salad - but first, let's assemble ingredients for everything: pecans, butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, pepper, olive oil, white balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, white sugar, butter lettuce, strawberries, and green onion (also known as scallions). </span><br />

Since the scone type is not specified, I decided to keep it simple - moist, crusty, and lightly-spiced vanilla scones. </div><div style="text-align: left;">They are delicious, and especially easy if you have a food processor.

Adjust the rack in your oven to the middle position and preheat to 400 F. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
