susannahoh (08:10:49) : Mock Palolo Worms

The best time to serve these is at your Palolo Night Party, just one week after the November full moon.

First prepare a cookie sheet by lining it with a sheet of either plastic wrap or aluminum foil that covers the entire inner surface. Set 4 cups of water on to boil, and when it is ready pour it into a bowl that can take the heat. Add 4 envelopes of Knox unflavored gelatin and 3 packages of your favorite flavor Jello. Mix thoroughly. Place the pan in the fridge and carefully add the Jello liquid. Once the Jello has set, it will have the consistency of the gummy critters that you can buy in the store. Take a knife and slice the gelatin into long rubbery strips. Then lift the foil and peel them off carefully. These can be kept at room temp for a very long time and will survive much handling, and tomfoolery. Very tasty too

ORANGE AND SOUR-CREAM DROP SHORTCAKES WITH
ASSORTED BERRIES

6 cups blackberries, picked over
1 cup granulated sugar
6 cups raspberries, picked over
6 cups blueberries, picked over

For shortcakes
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 sticks (3/4 cup) cold unsalted butter, cut into bits
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly grated orange zest
1 cup sour cream
1 cup milk

2 cups well-chilled heavy cream
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar

In a bowl with a potato masher mash 2 cups blackberries with 1/3
cup granulated sugar and stir in remaining blackberries. In 2
more bowls mash separately raspberries and blueberries with
remaining granulated sugar in same manner. Let berries stand at
room temperature 4 hours. Berry mixtures may be made 1 day ahead
and chilled, covered. Bring berries to room temperature before
serving.

Make shortcakes:
Preheat oven to 425°F. and lightly butter 2 baking sheets. In a
large bowl whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking
powder, baking soda, and salt and blend in butter until mixture
resembles coarse meal. In a small bowl whisk together zest, sour
cream, and milk and add to flour mixture. Stir mixture until it
just forms a soft and sticky dough and drop into 12 mounds at
1-inch intervals onto prepared baking sheets. Pat dough to
1/2-inch thickness and bake 12 to 15 minutes, or until pale
golden. Transfer shortcakes to a rack and cool. Shortcakes may
be made 4 hours ahead and kept in airtight containers.

In a large bowl beat cream with confectioners' sugar until it
holds soft peaks. Whipped cream may be made 1 hour ahead and
chilled in a cheesecloth-lined large sieve set over a bowl, its
surface covered with plastic wrap. Whisk cream lightly before
serving.

Split shortcakes horizontally with a fork and serve with berries
and whipped cream.

Creamy Whipped Dessert

1 cup sugar
1 cup pineapple juice
2 egg yolks
1 T or maybe a tad more flour
2 T oleo or butter
--------------------------------
1 can drained white cherries
1 can drained crushed pineapples
1/2 to 1 lb. min. marshmallows ( I don't care for to many, myself.)
I also like to add some nutmeats
If you can't get enough juice from the can of pineapples then finish with the white cherry juice to finish filling the cup.
-------------------------------------

Mix the first 5 ingredients good & cook, stirring until thick, let "COOL" then fold in 2-- (1/2 pt cartons whipping cream) then fold in the fruits, marshmallows & nuts. Let set in fridge (overnight is better)
You can substitute the cherries for more pineapple or fruit cocktail (the cherries were in the orig. recipe)
The cooked sauce gives this dessert a texture that makes this so good.

Verla,.Il (09:46:13) : Christmas Dessert

We make the Creamy Whipped Dessert like Betty has posted a little different and serve it every Christmas. Our grandmother made it every year.

We use the pineapple chunks and then when the dessert is cool we fold in a carton of cool whip or a carton of cream, whipped. Decorate the top with red cherries. We use English walnuts for the nuts! YMMM!
