1 pound red and green candied cherries
6 candied pineapple slices
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

and sugar together. Next add the beaten egg yolks and the apricots
in this and blend thoroughly.
Stage 2
Add the candied cherries, raisins, candied pineapple, and mixed dried
fruits in a bowl, that is coated with one cup of the flour. Put the
flour, baking soda, and salt into this. Add this flour mixture alternately
to the earlier mixture of stage 1 along with the apricot juice. Meld
this batter into the mixed fruits. Add the chopped pecans or walnuts
and fold in the beaten egg whites. Turn the batter into the greased
or buttered pans.

Steamed Fish-Recipes getting a little fishy, aren't they ?
6 (6 ounce) fillets of any fish (salmon, trout, cod, halibut etc)
3 tsp onion powder
3 tsp dried dill weed
1 pinch garlic powder
1 pinch lemon pepper
2 tsp dried parsley
2 tbsp lemon juice
1/4 tsp paprika
Salt as per taste
Keep the oven preheated to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Cut 6 squares
of foil, big enough to cover each fish fillet. Put the fillets at
the centre of the square foils and scatter each with parsley, dill
weed, onion and garlic powder, seasoned salt, lemon pepper and paprika.
Now sprinkle lemon juice over each fillet and fold the foil over fillets
to cover them completely. Lastly, place the foil sets on a baking
sheet and bake in the preheat oven for half an hour. These make delectable
Christmas eatables that your friends, folks or sweetie pie would love
to savor to the last bit.
It's Ham Honey ! Tantalize your taste-buds !
5 lbs ready-to-eat ham
2 cups honey
2/3 cup butter 1/4 cup dark corn syrup
1/4 cup whole cloves
Keep the oven preheated to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Then score
ham and stud with the whole cloves. Put the ham in a foil-lined pan.
Now heat the corn syrup, honey and butter in the top portion of a
double boiler. Make sure the glaze is warm while you're baking ham.
Baste glaze over ham and bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes in the preheated
oven. Moisten ham every 10-15 minutes with the honey glaze. In the
final 4-5 minutes of baking, turn on broiler to caramelize the glaze.
Remove from oven and let it settle for a few minutes before serving.
This Christmas recipe will leave everyone drooling for another helping
for sure. So why not give them a helping 'ham' this Christmas ? Go
have them slobber for more toothsome treats. And remember to wish
