RECIPE: HOMEMADE PRETZELS


INGREDIENTS:
1 tbsp. yeast
1/2 c. warm water
1 tsp. honey
1 1/3 c. flour
1 tsp. salt

DIRECTIONS:
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Put the yeast in a small
bowl with the water and honey. Stir a little, then let the
mixture sit for 5 minutes. Mix the flour and salt together
in a medium-size bowl. After the 5 minutes is up, check on
the yeast mixture. It should be bigger than before and a
little bubbly. Add this mixture to the flour and salt mixture.
Stir everything together. Use a spoon to start. Finish with
your hands. The dough is ready when it's still a little
crumbly and flaky. Put the dough on the cutting board and
knead it like you are playing with clay. Knead it into one
big ball. Break off a piece of dough that's about the size
of a big gumball or superball. Use your hands to roll it
into a skinny snake. Twist the snake into a medium-size
pretzel shape, and put it on the cookie sheet. Do this with
all the dough, making 12 pretzels. Bake for 10 minutes

PEAR AND CHERRY CONSERVE


2-1/2 to 3 pounds fully ripened Bartlett pears
6 lemon slices
3 Tbs. seedless golden raisins
1/4 cup maraschino cherries, chopped
1/3 cup maraschino cherry juice
4 cups mild-flavored honey
1 bottle liquid pectin
Peel, core and coarsely chop the pears. (There should be 5 cups.)
Cut the lemon slices into eighths. In a 6—8-quart saucepan, mix
together all the ingredients except the pectin. Bring them to a full
rolling boil, stirring constantly, and boil them hard for 5 minutes.
