QuiltersRecipes — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 00:36:00 GMT

Submitted by Cynthi in Cedar Rapids, IA

This is a great recipe for overnight or early morning guests. The rolls can be rising while you sleep and be ready to bake early.

1 1/2 sticks butter
1 pkg (12) frozen cinnamon rolls
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 cup pecans, chopped
1 large box butterscotch (cook and serve) pudding (Not instant)

Butter 9×13 pan. Place cinnamon rolls in pan spacing apart to allow dough to double in size. Sprinkle with dry pudding mix. In a saucepan melt butter, add brown sugar and pecans and cook 2 minutes. Pour mixture over rolls. Cover pan with plastic wrap and place in cold oven 6-8 hours (or overnight). In the morning carefully remove the plastic wrap and bake 30 minutes at 325 degrees. When done remove from oven and flip rolls onto a platter and serve. A very tasty morning treat.

This makes Shredded Beef Sandwiches for a crowd, and can be expanded to feed as many as you wish.

1 - 3# beef chuck roast
1 - 10 1/2 oz. can Campbell’s French Onion Soup
Crusty sandwich rolls

1. Preheat oven to 350F.
2. Place roast in roasting pan or dutch oven equipped with a tight-fitting lid. Pour soup over top of roast, cover pan tightly with foil and place lid on top, pressing down to seal even tighter.
3. Roast at 350F for 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
4. Carefully open foil, avoiding steam as you do so. Remove meat and shred with two forks, discarding any fat and connective tissue (these will just fall off).
5. Meanwhile, skim excess fat from pan juices and bring to a boil over moderate heat. Mix together about 2 Tbs. flour with 1/4 water and add to pan juices to thicken them slightly. Return shredded meat to pan and warm through. Serve on crusty rolls.

To increase this recipe, just add 1 more can of soup for each additional 3# of meat. This recipe is also good with pork.

Rhubarb Freezer Jam

Submitted by Nancy Reimers

Since it is rhubarb season, I am sending by far my husband’s favorite jam recipe. Please try it, you’ll love it as much as George.

Set aside overnight:
6 cups cut up rhubarb
4 cups sugar

Next morning: Boil for 10 minutes. Turn off stove.
Add 1-3oz box Jello (apricot or peach) Stir until dissolved.
Add 1 can Wilderness pie filling (apricot or peach)
Do not reheat.

Fill 1-2 quart jars and freeze. Since there is so much sugar it never really freezes. I even freeze bags with 6 cups of rhubarb and make during the winter.

No Dish Meal

Joyce Feldman, IL
Cut off a large section of aluminum foil for each person you will serve. On each section, lay a large hamburger patty, sliced potatoes, carrots, and onions. Season to taste. Fold the foil closed and grill for about 45 minutes on a charcoal grill (use less time if cooking on a gas or an electric grill).

We love this easy meal all summer long (even in the winter). It’s easy meal to clean up after with no mess and no dishes needed.

“Down Under” Tea Scones

QuiltersRecipes — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 22:34:00 GMT

Submitted by Dionysia Palmer, South Austrailia

Mix 2 cups self raising flour with 1 cup milk and 1 cup cream (I use low fat for both). Mix lightly to a sticky dough, then knead to a flat 2inch high circle. On a floured board, cut with a round cutter. Bake in a very hot oven (flour tray only) for 12 minutes. Remove from tray and wrap in a clean tea towel. Serve warm with Jam and whipped cream for a real, Devonshire Tea. Eat with a cup of tea!(Leftovers are great toasted for breakfast.) This is such a foolproof scone recipe and i have given it to many adult students that i have taught adult cookery to.
