It uses processed stuff from the grocery store, but I like it:<br /><br />14 oz fat-free sweetened condensed milk <br />8 oz Cool Whip Free Whipped Topping <br />1/2 cup fresh lemon juice<br />4 oz. Kumquats, pureed<br />1 fat free Keebler graham cracker crust pie shell<br /><br />Beat condensed milk and Cool Whip together. Add lemon juice and beat until thick. Add pureed kumquats and mix well. Pour into pie shell. Chill a few hours or freeze. If frozen, thaw slightly before serving.FancyHorsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17597963447367752342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-89873772216643222712009-05-09T20:17:00.000-05:002009-05-09T20:17:00.000-05:00This is a very versatile cheese, and takes various...This is a very versatile cheese, and takes various seasonings well - perfect for first time cheesemakers! Another tip for seasoning your cheeses - add garlic and chives (I use 1 TBSP per pound/gallon) just before molding. A slice added to a grilled cheese sandwich is OUT OF THIS WORLD!Gizmohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12536962650196564993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-68680628994285293192009-05-09T13:45:00.000-05:002009-05-09T13:45:00.000-05:00I am pleased to find some Kumquat marmalade ideas....I am pleased to find some Kumquat marmalade ideas. I fill a large jar with them and salt them with rock salt. After a few months they are a great garnish for bloody marys, pork, and I bet they would go pretty good with goat and lamb.<br /><br />I'll have to try that marmalade next!<br /><br />Regards,<br />Albert<br /><A HREF="http://trochronicles.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">The Rasch Outdoor Chronicles</A>.<br /><A HREF="http://trrtactical.blogspot.com%20/" REL="nofollow">The Range Reviews: Tactical</A>.<br /><A HREF="http://outdoorbloggerssummit.com/" REL="nofollow">Proud Member of Outdoor Bloggers Summit</A>.Albert A Raschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11431765456546701021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-21165694866733898602009-05-09T13:14:00.000-05:002009-05-09T13:14:00.000-05:00YUM on that bread!

It is very rosemary - we were trying to replicate the bread at Macaroni Grill - don't know if they still serve the same bread, but this was 10 years ago.owlfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16864203297228110988noreply@blogger.com
