Today, we are gonna do
a whole bunch of desserts,
00:00:01.98\00:00:03.22
but they are not your
normal type of dessert with
00:00:03.25\00:00:05.45
cake, ice cream or pie.
Today, we are gonna make
00:00:05.48\00:00:07.95
desserts with a
different twist and we are gonna
00:00:07.98\00:00:10.87
make some
hermits. That sounds sweet,
00:00:10.90\00:00:13.50
why don't you stay with us
and find out what they are.
00:00:13.53\00:00:15.58
Hello friends and welcome
to another program of Lets
00:00:47.77\00:00:49.88
Cook Together. I am
your host Jill Morikone
00:00:49.91\00:00:52.32
and we have an exciting
program planned for you today,
00:00:52.35\00:00:55.13
all kinds desserts,
I can't wait to figure
00:00:55.16\00:00:57.37
how to make them and especially
00:00:57.40\00:00:58.87
that Hermit
dessert, we'll find out what
00:00:58.90\00:01:00.83
that is in a minute.
First, I want to introduce
00:01:00.86\00:01:03.18
you to my special
guest my friend with me here
00:01:03.21\00:01:05.47
in the studio her
name is Marie McCalla.
00:01:05.50\00:01:07.66
Welcome Marie, we are
so glad to have you here.
00:01:07.69\00:01:10.29
Nice to be here Jill
and we are getting to know
00:01:10.32\00:01:12.60
each other quite well aren't we.
00:01:12.63\00:01:14.10
That's right. We
always have a good time
00:01:14.13\00:01:15.74
when we're
cooking in the kitchen.
00:01:15.77\00:01:16.86
Yes and after the
program we get to dine together.
00:01:16.89\00:01:19.36
That's right,
that's the best part,
00:01:19.39\00:01:21.48
we get to eat the food.
So, we are really getting
00:01:21.51\00:01:23.55
to be well
acquainted. That's right,
00:01:23.58\00:01:25.61
tell our friends at
home if they haven't seen you
00:01:25.64\00:01:27.59
before in 3ABN just
where you come from and stuff.
00:01:27.62\00:01:29.94
Yes, I live in
Southern California,
00:01:29.97\00:01:32.03
okay, yes and I've
lived there for many, many,
00:01:32.06\00:01:34.51
many years and I feel
very fortunate to live
00:01:34.54\00:01:38.07
in a warm
climate, absolutely, yeah,
00:01:38.10\00:01:42.92
so I love it, but
I also love Illinois,
00:01:42.95\00:01:44.73
I think it's
very beautiful here.
00:01:44.76\00:01:46.99
That's right, very
beautiful, we love it,
00:01:47.02\00:01:49.39
even though its
country, we love country
00:01:49.42\00:01:50.80
so it's really
special. And again you have
00:01:50.83\00:01:51.80
the special dogwood trees
that bloom, in the spring,
00:01:51.81\00:01:56.19
and it's very nice
here. And you brought
00:01:56.22\00:01:58.28
your husband with you, Carl.
Yes, Carl, came here with me.
00:01:58.31\00:02:01.50
He is such a nice man.
He is my able assistant.
00:02:01.53\00:02:04.29
He's been doing
dishes and working and doing
00:02:04.32\00:02:05.55
all kinds of
stuff, so we're grateful.
00:02:05.58\00:02:07.35
He is just great, he is great,
00:02:07.38\00:02:08.35
yeah very
supportive. That's right,
00:02:08.36\00:02:10.49
now we're doing desserts today.
00:02:10.52\00:02:12.54
Yes, we are, yes we are,
00:02:12.57\00:02:14.21
except with one
exception we have something,
00:02:14.24\00:02:16.66
but it's a little different.
Oh! Yeah, I am excited.
00:02:16.69\00:02:19.46
First, we are gonna
make those hermit, guys.
00:02:19.49\00:02:21.14
Yes, we are and
probably no one has ever heard
00:02:21.17\00:02:23.55
of hermits before.
I was asking Marie.
00:02:23.58\00:02:25.95
Now, what is a hermit? A
hermit is kind of a cookie
00:02:25.98\00:02:31.16
that you just drop from a spoon
00:02:31.19\00:02:32.62
and it kind of,
okay. I got the idea when
00:02:32.65\00:02:35.05
I saw just kind of
sitting there by itself, okay,
00:02:35.08\00:02:38.23
and I felt it looks
like a little hermit.
00:02:38.26\00:02:39.49
Yeah okay. So,
that's what I named it.
00:02:39.52\00:02:41.82
Yeah okay, let's go and
read our hermit recipe here.
00:02:41.85\00:02:45.28
For the pumpkin hermits you need
00:02:45.31\00:02:48.35
3/4 cup margarine
(non-hydrogenated)
00:02:48.38\00:02:51.25
3/4 cup raw brown
sugar 2 cups pumpkin
00:02:51.28\00:02:55.86
2 teaspoons cornstarch
3 tablespoons molasses
00:02:55.89\00:03:00.45
2 cups unbleached flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
00:03:00.48\00:03:05.45
1 ½ teaspoon
cinnamon ½ teaspoon nutmeg
00:03:05.48\00:03:10.95
½ teaspoon baking
soda ½ teaspoon salt
00:03:10.98\00:03:15.75
1 cup of chopped dates
1 cup of chopped pecans
00:03:15.78\00:03:20.44
I like this Marie
because it's a different
00:03:20.47\00:03:23.61
type of
dessert. It really is and
00:03:23.64\00:03:25.85
it's a very soft
cookie almost like a cake.
00:03:25.88\00:03:28.59
Wow! almost like a
cake and they're great
00:03:28.62\00:03:32.67
and whoever has
eaten them has loved it.
00:03:32.70\00:03:35.19
That sounds good.
So, we will start mixing.
00:03:35.22\00:03:37.51
Yeah, what we do
Let's put the actually
00:03:37.54\00:03:40.31
these are so
easy, we could just put
00:03:40.34\00:03:43.56
everything in.
Oh! no special order
00:03:43.59\00:03:45.36
you just throw it in.
No special order at all.
00:03:45.39\00:03:47.81
Okay. I usually try to put
all the dry ingredients first.
00:03:47.84\00:03:51.01
Yes, and I agree, its good.
But this really doesn't have
00:03:51.04\00:03:54.91
any liquid except the
pumpkin acts as the liquid.
00:03:54.94\00:03:58.67
Oh! Fun, okay. So, I can tell
00:03:58.70\00:04:01.08
we're in Illinois,
every time I try to scrape.
00:04:01.11\00:04:04.39
That cornstarch just gets
stuck in there doesn't it.
00:04:04.42\00:04:07.52
I think we have a
little humidity going on here.
00:04:07.55\00:04:10.07
Okay, there you go, and
we'll do the margarine mix.
00:04:10.10\00:04:16.61
Now this margarine, do
you look on the packages
00:04:16.64\00:04:19.10
this is non-hydrogenated.
Exactly, yes, yes, okay,
00:04:19.13\00:04:22.05
yeah that is the only
way to go here I'll use
00:04:22.08\00:04:25.83
my finger again. There you go,
00:04:25.86\00:04:28.90
you won't tell
anybody. You washed your hands.
00:04:28.93\00:04:31.04
And you didn't say that
so. I sure did. That's right.
00:04:31.07\00:04:34.41
Good. And the
pumpkin actually is the
00:04:36.18\00:04:37.92
moisture in this.
Yes. I love pumpkin.
00:04:37.95\00:04:41.15
Oh! I do too, that's
why I like the holidays.
00:04:41.18\00:04:44.97
Yeah, that's right, I
love pumpkin pie. Oh! Yes.
00:04:45.00\00:04:47.87
My husband Greg,
pumpkin and apple
00:04:47.90\00:04:49.29
is his two favorite
kind. And that's another story
00:04:49.32\00:04:52.08
on another
program, I love the pumpkin
00:04:52.11\00:04:54.42
without the eggs and pumpkin pie
00:04:54.45\00:04:56.06
without the eyes.
Yes, and you put cornstarch
00:04:56.09\00:04:59.32
in place or
something else. Actually no.
00:04:59.35\00:05:01.87
You gotta to
give us a little hint.
00:05:01.90\00:05:03.50
Well, it's a same product. Okay.
00:05:03.53\00:05:07.68
And it holds up very
well. Nice and you use that
00:05:07.71\00:05:11.22
in place of it
then. Right, and it's more
00:05:11.25\00:05:13.23
like a chiffon.
Oh! That sounds good.
00:05:13.26\00:05:16.46
You know, if you,
back in the old days
00:05:16.49\00:05:17.81
before we knew how
bad eggs were for you
00:05:17.84\00:05:19.79
and we would
eat that pumpkin pie
00:05:19.82\00:05:21.11
with all those eggs,
you kind of get indigestion,
00:05:21.14\00:05:24.15
it was so heavy and rich.
So this isn't quite as heavy,
00:05:24.18\00:05:27.59
that's a good,
that's a good alternative.
00:05:27.62\00:05:29.00
Oh! No, it's very,
very light, yeah, it's good,
00:05:29.03\00:05:31.26
okay and then the dates,
which also keep it moist.
00:05:31.29\00:05:35.45
Now we are not chopping
them, they are pretty big there,
00:05:35.48\00:05:37.79
is that the
point. Actually. Yeah,
00:05:37.82\00:05:39.85
because you want to bite
into a nice chunk of date.
00:05:39.88\00:05:44.09
Okay, okay. And, so you can see
00:05:44.12\00:05:46.53
that they are really. Oh! Yeah!
00:05:46.56\00:05:48.70
You want to get a good
bite when you bite the cookie.
00:05:48.73\00:05:50.92
Oh! Yeah, that sounds good.
00:05:50.95\00:05:52.53
And then the nuts, the
nuts, was this walnuts or
00:05:54.26\00:05:57.45
These are pecans
okay. I think pecans
00:05:57.48\00:06:00.40
compliment this recipe. I agree.
00:06:00.43\00:06:03.19
More than
walnuts so. Absolutely.
00:06:03.22\00:06:07.99
I think pecans works
real well with pumpkin.
00:06:08.02\00:06:11.38
And now we'll
give it some flour.
00:06:11.41\00:06:13.33
Do you need this or
not? Oh! Yes, I do and this
00:06:13.36\00:06:15.94
is the maple, oh!
Okay, that sounds good,
00:06:15.97\00:06:19.95
you know, what
did we bring here.
00:06:19.98\00:06:21.94
Maybe we have molasses in there.
00:06:21.97\00:06:24.53
This is molasses. Oh!
Okay. This is molasses,
00:06:24.56\00:06:28.06
yes I knew it was
too dark for maple syrup.
00:06:28.09\00:06:31.35
Yeah, it is kind
of thick for that too.
00:06:31.38\00:06:32.98
Yeah, this is
molasses and that gives it,
00:06:33.01\00:06:35.91
a pumpkin with
molasses is a unique flavor.
00:06:35.94\00:06:39.38
That's pretty good.
I like that and that
00:06:39.41\00:06:42.30
gives it just a little
bit more liquidity in here.
00:06:42.33\00:06:45.56
Yeah, it's good. And
then we will just start
00:06:45.59\00:06:47.06
putting in some of the flour,
I recommend that you half.
00:06:47.09\00:06:50.75
Okay. And then half,
00:06:50.78\00:06:52.61
I think that works out
better because you don't want
00:06:52.64\00:06:54.31
to end up wearing it Yes, okay.
00:06:54.34\00:06:57.77
And a lot of times
flour can get away from you.
00:06:57.80\00:06:58.88
Yeah and so I think
we have more control,
00:06:58.91\00:07:03.25
if we just do have.
Absolutely little bit
00:07:03.28\00:07:08.60
by little bit. So
it doesn't go flying
00:07:08.63\00:07:10.22
all over the
place. Yeah, that's good.
00:07:10.25\00:07:12.01
Oh! It smells good,
do you know that Marie.
00:07:12.04\00:07:14.69
And you notice
what's missing again,
00:07:14.72\00:07:17.66
what's missing here? I
don't know what's missing?
00:07:17.69\00:07:20.90
No eggs. Yeah, that's right,
00:07:20.93\00:07:22.62
we don't need anything
and we put in some cornstarch
00:07:22.65\00:07:25.87
in place of that. We sure did.
00:07:25.90\00:07:27.64
And now we can just
put the rest of the flour.
00:07:27.67\00:07:30.79
Okay, I think I'm
having a messy day today.
00:07:34.29\00:07:36.04
It's okay, you know,
I think it's nice to get
00:07:36.07\00:07:38.25
into the kitchen and
just have a good time
00:07:38.28\00:07:39.77
and make a mess and throw
stuff around and that's okay.
00:07:39.80\00:07:42.19
Aren't we glad,
we live in the age
00:07:42.22\00:07:43.41
of dishwasher, yes,
that's right we can make
00:07:43.44\00:07:49.91
all the mess and say oh! Well.
00:07:49.94\00:07:51.21
Makes it easier just wipe
up that counter and throw them
00:07:51.24\00:07:54.07
in the
dishwasher and you are okay.
00:07:54.10\00:07:55.58
So, just mix it all
really well, very nice and,
00:07:55.61\00:08:02.07
so, it is pretty
thick, I can see that.
00:08:02.10\00:08:03.78
Yeah, and you
know there is no egg
00:08:03.81\00:08:06.08
or anything and they
bake it to a very soft
00:08:06.11\00:08:10.14
consistency. Nice, nice,
00:08:10.17\00:08:12.61
you'd want to spray your
pan, so it doesn't stick to it.
00:08:12.64\00:08:15.72
Right, that's what I
do, actually what I do
00:08:15.75\00:08:18.88
is I take a cookie
sheet, okay, and put a piece
00:08:18.91\00:08:23.19
of tin foil.
Oh! That's too long.
00:08:23.22\00:08:25.71
And then just spray it
with a little bit of Pam.
00:08:25.74\00:08:27.47
That's good. And
that way you know,
00:08:27.50\00:08:31.95
they come out
really, really well.
00:08:31.98\00:08:34.59
Oh! Yeah, yeah, that's right.
00:08:34.62\00:08:36.53
And you want to be
aware that your oven
00:08:36.56\00:08:38.22
doesn't bake too hot
from the bottom. Okay.
00:08:38.25\00:08:39.22
Otherwise, you're
gonna burn on bottom.
00:08:39.23\00:08:42.89
Yeah. What temperature
00:08:42.92\00:08:43.89
we put them in.
We are doing these
00:08:43.90\00:08:45.21
at I think they're 375,
375 for about 12 minutes,
00:08:45.24\00:08:51.96
12 minutes. Okay, now we
00:08:51.99\00:08:53.77
are gonna pretend
this not a cookie sheet,
00:08:53.80\00:08:54.90
just to show you.
Right. And we are just
00:08:54.93\00:08:56.59
going to make them,
you make them a nice size
00:08:56.62\00:08:58.62
like that, so when you bite in,
00:08:58.65\00:09:00.35
you are going to have
that nice big date sitting
00:09:00.38\00:09:03.04
right there on the
top. I can see that.
00:09:03.07\00:09:04.53
Isn't that fun.
That's our little hermit.
00:09:04.56\00:09:07.71
That's right. It's
all by himself. Yeah.
00:09:07.74\00:09:10.69
But we want you to
invite a friend or somebody
00:09:10.72\00:09:12.65
to share your hermits with you.
00:09:12.68\00:09:14.32
Absolutely. So
you don't have to eat
00:09:14.35\00:09:16.09
by yourself, let's,
we are gonna to read
00:09:16.12\00:09:18.16
our next dessert recipe here.
00:09:18.19\00:09:19.73
For the Maple Nut Balls you need
00:09:19.76\00:09:22.86
3/4 cup chopped
hazelnuts 1 cup of margarine
00:09:22.89\00:09:26.32
non-hydrogenated
variety ½ cup of raw brown sugar
00:09:26.35\00:09:30.60
1/4 cup of maple syrup
1 ½ teaspoon maple extract
00:09:30.63\00:09:35.54
1 ½ cup of oatmeal 1
cup of unbleached flour
00:09:35.57\00:09:39.88
Well, this is fun
Marie because I like stuff
00:09:42.18\00:09:43.66
with maple. If you like maple
00:09:43.69\00:09:46.07
you will love this,
you know when I was a child
00:09:46.10\00:09:49.63
when we still
used to eat ice cream,
00:09:49.66\00:09:51.74
mother would make
maple walnut ice cream
00:09:51.77\00:09:54.46
and I could
still taste the maple
00:09:54.49\00:09:57.84
and these cookies
are very overwhelmingly
00:09:57.87\00:10:01.60
maple and they are so simple
and so, kids will love these.
00:10:01.63\00:10:04.32
So anybody can feel
like they can make them
00:10:06.86\00:10:08.83
and you can get your
kids with you cooking.
00:10:08.86\00:10:11.40
You know, in
fact, you could involve
00:10:11.43\00:10:13.01
your children they
would love to do this
00:10:13.04\00:10:14.65
because you role them into balls
00:10:14.68\00:10:16.12
and so you could have your kids,
00:10:16.15\00:10:18.00
it could be a family product.
00:10:18.03\00:10:19.28
That's right. Let's
go. I like family product.
00:10:19.31\00:10:22.23
So, let's get started. Okay.
00:10:22.26\00:10:23.84
Okay, we will
start with the Margarine
00:10:23.87\00:10:27.04
alright, and it's nice
and soft, you want it soft.
00:10:27.07\00:10:30.23
Yeah that's good. You
can't work with, you know,
00:10:30.26\00:10:33.42
hard if it is real
hard, you doesn't work to,
00:10:33.45\00:10:35.59
and this is the pure maple syrup
00:10:35.62\00:10:37.84
not that imitation kind
that you get on the shelf.
00:10:37.87\00:10:41.73
Yeah that's nice.
And then maple extract
00:10:41.76\00:10:48.04
they have a
really good maple flavor.
00:10:48.07\00:10:51.67
Yeah, very nice.
And the raw sugar. Yeah.
00:10:51.70\00:10:56.15
now where can our
friends find this raw sugar,
00:10:56.18\00:10:58.07
I notice you will
use a lot of raw sugar.
00:10:58.10\00:10:59.77
You know, you could
buy it at any supermarket
00:10:59.80\00:11:03.69
actually I got
mine at Wal-Mart. Okay.
00:11:03.72\00:11:06.21
So, any grocery
store would be okay.
00:11:06.24\00:11:08.63
Any grocery store
it's, it's all over
00:11:08.66\00:11:10.64
and it is just
labeled raw sugar.
00:11:10.67\00:11:12.39
It's in a box and it
says raw sugar, it's in a box.
00:11:12.42\00:11:15.53
Okay good, good. Well
that helps to figure out
00:11:15.56\00:11:18.03
what we are supposed to do
00:11:18.06\00:11:19.06
Exactly, yeh, yeh,
you can get it anywhere,
00:11:19.09\00:11:21.78
okay, you don't need to
go to a special store, okay
00:11:21.81\00:11:23.99
and this is rolled
oats, which is so healthy for
00:11:24.24\00:11:28.27
you high in fiber, heart smart.
00:11:28.30\00:11:30.63
Oh! Yeah. And
so, these are really
00:11:30.66\00:11:32.73
great cookies and
again the eggs are missing,
00:11:32.76\00:11:35.45
yeah, don't need those eggs.
00:11:35.48\00:11:37.66
And are we using
cornstarch in place of it
00:11:37.69\00:11:39.28
or we are not using it.
Don't even need cornstarch.
00:11:39.31\00:11:41.37
Oh! that's good. Yeah,
00:11:41.40\00:11:43.17
yeah, so the oatmeal
actually holds these together.
00:11:43.20\00:11:47.82
Yeah. And then we are
going to put the nuts in
00:11:47.85\00:11:51.46
and what we are going
to do is just save out
00:11:51.49\00:11:54.95
a few nuts.
00:11:54.98\00:11:55.95
Oh! okay we have to roll it.
00:11:55.96\00:11:57.19
To roll the balls in
00:11:57.22\00:11:59.10
Oh! that sounds
fun, I like that. Yeah.
00:11:59.13\00:12:01.24
just, just just a little
bit and if you are making
00:12:01.27\00:12:03.83
you know larger
recipe just for demonstration
00:12:03.86\00:12:06.18
we will just save out a
little bit to roll again, good.
00:12:06.21\00:12:08.52
Oh! yeah and that's
perfect, that mean real cute
00:12:08.55\00:12:12.30
roll them and have the nuts
on the outside and like that.
00:12:12.33\00:12:15.57
They are so tasty
and again, you know,
00:12:15.60\00:12:19.17
if you have an oven that
00:12:19.20\00:12:20.54
cooks more from
the bottom. Okay,
00:12:20.57\00:12:23.51
Be careful that you don't,
00:12:23.54\00:12:24.51
they don't burn from the bottom.
00:12:24.52\00:12:26.05
Now if you have
been, I mean like cooks
00:12:26.08\00:12:27.35
from the bottom, is
there anything you can do,
00:12:27.38\00:12:29.31
of course, you
can get a new oven,
00:12:29.34\00:12:30.68
but besides that
is there anything
00:12:30.71\00:12:33.41
to counteract that
or not. Well, you could
00:12:33.44\00:12:35.27
may be put them in
a double cookie sheet
00:12:35.30\00:12:38.06
and of course keep them
a little higher elevated
00:12:38.09\00:12:41.22
on a higher rack, okay, yeah
00:12:41.25\00:12:44.34
a double cookie
sheet should work. Okay,
00:12:44.37\00:12:46.66
go on, go on, alright and
that's just the flavor there.
00:12:46.69\00:12:51.61
that's just our
flavor and when we start
00:12:51.64\00:12:54.27
making the cookie
balls, we just get in
00:12:54.30\00:12:57.71
here with our hands. Oh! Yeah.
00:12:57.74\00:12:59.06
If I am going to do it
right now, it sounds good,
00:13:00.96\00:13:02.47
and they mold really nicely
00:13:02.50\00:13:03.85
because, nice, we
have all that soft margins.
00:13:03.88\00:13:05.83
That's right, here we go.
So, we are going to get our
00:13:05.86\00:13:08.18
hands a little dirty here,
00:13:08.21\00:13:09.26
yeah, at least out
here. That's right.
00:13:09.29\00:13:10.57
Oh! Yeah, you don't have to.
00:13:10.60\00:13:11.57
All I wanted to, I
want to make a ball.
00:13:11.58\00:13:12.55
See if I can able to do. Okay,
00:13:12.56\00:13:14.19
you make a ball, but
oh! they are so delicious,
00:13:14.22\00:13:18.50
I wish that the
viewers could smell this
00:13:18.53\00:13:21.20
I know, you just
have to try for yourself.
00:13:21.34\00:13:23.45
Yeah, I trust they
will, they will love this,
00:13:23.48\00:13:26.83
this should be a
really nice recipe
00:13:26.86\00:13:29.33
at the holiday time. Good. Yeah.
00:13:29.36\00:13:31.70
So, you make them
kind of a nice size
00:13:31.73\00:13:34.79
not really small.
I will see if I can
00:13:34.82\00:13:37.23
make one or two.
00:13:37.26\00:13:38.23
About like that, oh! yeah,
00:13:38.24\00:13:42.54
then we can just
roll it, in this fun
00:13:42.57\00:13:44.92
I think kids
would love to do this.
00:13:44.95\00:13:47.48
Oh! Isn't that
cute, I'm not a kid,
00:13:50.12\00:13:52.49
but I love to do this.
00:13:52.52\00:13:53.49
I think we are all
kids. All kids are hard, right
00:13:53.50\00:13:56.56
Yeah, and then you can even
kind of you know reshape it.
00:13:56.59\00:14:00.18
Isn't that nice
mines kind smaller.
00:14:00.21\00:14:01.67
And they are soft,
00:14:01.70\00:14:03.11
yeah, yeah, and I had it just
00:14:03.14\00:14:05.97
they are good in your mouth.
00:14:06.00\00:14:08.26
That's right, oh!
Man, so at what temperature
00:14:08.29\00:14:10.41
do we bake them out.
00:14:10.44\00:14:11.41
We bake them slowly at
350 for about 15 minutes.
00:14:11.42\00:14:15.12
Okay and then they are
done, ready to eat, right
00:14:15.15\00:14:17.62
If you make small
balls you can have a couple.
00:14:17.65\00:14:19.47
That's right,
you could have two,
00:14:19.50\00:14:21.38
I would recommend more than two.
00:14:22.78\00:14:24.31
There you go, let's go
to our next recipe here,
00:14:24.34\00:14:27.09
we are going to be
making the potato twist.
00:14:27.12\00:14:30.57
For that you need 6
medium sweet potatoes
00:14:30.60\00:14:33.67
1 medium russet potato ½ cup
00:14:33.70\00:14:37.21
plus 2 tablespoons maple syrup
00:14:37.24\00:14:39.65
2 teaspoon lemon
juice 1 ½ teaspoon salt
00:14:39.68\00:14:44.33
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/3 cup raw brown sugar
00:14:44.36\00:14:49.72
1/3 cup melted margarine
the non-hydrogenated variety
00:14:49.75\00:14:54.66
1 cup soy creamer, 1 1/4
cup finely chopped pecans
00:14:54.69\00:15:00.07
Now why do you call
this Marie, a potato twist.
00:15:02.04\00:15:04.41
Well, you know normally you have
00:15:04.44\00:15:06.83
either russet
potatoes or you might have
00:15:06.86\00:15:08.97
have the yams or sweet potatoes,
00:15:09.00\00:15:10.39
but today we are going
to do a new twist and mix.
00:15:10.42\00:15:14.16
That's fun I like
that You know, yeah,
00:15:14.19\00:15:16.83
you can't really
taste the russet,
00:15:16.86\00:15:19.38
but you can tell there
is a different consistency.
00:15:19.41\00:15:22.64
Yeah that's right. And
that way you have, you know
00:15:22.67\00:15:25.96
both potatoes, yeah
00:15:25.99\00:15:27.11
it's just different
I think I have told you
00:15:27.14\00:15:29.19
on previous
programs that I always like
00:15:29.22\00:15:31.63
to create new recipes.
00:15:31.66\00:15:34.34
Yes, yes. And so you know
00:15:34.37\00:15:36.23
when you are tired of
pasta, you are tired of rice,
00:15:36.26\00:15:39.58
you are tired of potatoes,
let's try something new.
00:15:39.61\00:15:43.53
That's right, absolutely. So,
this makes it very nice entrée.
00:15:43.56\00:15:46.92
Oh! Cool, Okay. You
know, it is a little sweet.
00:15:46.95\00:15:49.13
And it is sweet
because we are putting some
00:15:49.16\00:15:50.60
maple right, right.
00:15:50.63\00:15:51.86
Yeah yeah. Oh! That's fine,
00:15:51.89\00:15:54.02
okay. Let's see what we do.
00:15:54.05\00:15:55.56
What I have done
here Jill I have pre-cubed
00:15:55.59\00:16:00.15
and cooked the potatoes.
00:16:00.18\00:16:01.55
You steam them. Steam
them until they are soft.
00:16:01.58\00:16:04.35
Okay. And also the russets.
00:16:04.38\00:16:06.48
Okay. And there is no problem
00:16:06.51\00:16:08.44
you can just mash them together.
00:16:08.47\00:16:09.65
Okay good.So, you
are just mash them up
00:16:09.68\00:16:14.35
and actually if you wanted it
00:16:14.38\00:16:18.28
to some people
like to use a whip
00:16:18.31\00:16:20.32
Okay. You know and if
that works better for you.
00:16:20.35\00:16:23.70
You can use an
electric mixer too or something.
00:16:23.73\00:16:25.98
You can use an electric mixer,
00:16:26.01\00:16:26.98
this is probably
isn't the masher of choice,
00:16:26.99\00:16:32.75
yeah, but we will make it
work, that's what we need,
00:16:32.78\00:16:37.12
that's right, we
will just make it work,
00:16:37.15\00:16:38.72
but anyway that's
how we have to work with,
00:16:38.75\00:16:41.47
yeah, but our viewers will
certainly get the contempt.
00:16:41.50\00:16:44.83
Oh! Yeh, absolutely,
of what we are doing here.
00:16:44.86\00:16:47.22
And this gonna
turn it mostly orange,
00:16:47.25\00:16:49.75
then since you have
more orange than the white.
00:16:49.78\00:16:51.85
Because we have
more orange than white,
00:16:51.88\00:16:53.44
so it's quite pretty, Oh!
yeah, it's almost rainbow,
00:16:53.47\00:16:56.86
like you know, it's very pretty,
00:16:56.89\00:16:58.33
I like it, yeh and
I like sweet potatoes
00:16:58.36\00:17:02.43
because they are
a kind of sweet too
00:17:02.46\00:17:03.64
we get the really good once.
00:17:03.67\00:17:05.01
Oh! I love them and
they are so high in fiber
00:17:05.04\00:17:07.12
and vitamin C and
A, that yellow color,
00:17:07.15\00:17:11.29
yeah, very nice, so you
know had a healthy meal.
00:17:11.32\00:17:15.92
Oh! Yeah. And you
know you can kind a go
00:17:15.95\00:17:18.50
the pasta rice
potatoes, pasta rice potatoes,
00:17:18.53\00:17:21.86
so now get sick, a
fourth alternative you know.
00:17:21.89\00:17:25.73
That's right. You
can use something else.
00:17:25.76\00:17:28.13
The potato twist. So, we have
00:17:28.16\00:17:30.59
we have that and
then you can mash
00:17:30.62\00:17:33.70
in the soy creamer,
which is more like a cream.
00:17:33.73\00:17:41.04
Okay, so it is
much thicker than soy,
00:17:41.07\00:17:43.50
much thicker than
soy milk. Absolutely.
00:17:43.53\00:17:46.00
And the margarine and normally
00:17:46.03\00:17:50.73
if you were doing these at home,
00:17:50.76\00:17:52.80
you would be doing this
when the potatoes are hot.
00:17:52.83\00:17:55.96
It would mash better.
So they would mash better
00:17:55.99\00:17:58.99
and everything
would melt better.
00:17:59.02\00:18:00.53
So, it will not make
really big difference
00:18:00.56\00:18:01.89
I can see that, yeh,
00:18:01.92\00:18:02.89
but you at least
get the kind of the idea
00:18:02.90\00:18:05.94
how it supposed to go.
00:18:05.97\00:18:06.94
We would just demonstrate it
00:18:06.95\00:18:08.12
how this should go, yes
00:18:08.15\00:18:09.55
and if you think
you have the two mash
00:18:09.58\00:18:12.05
just give it a minute
because they are very starchy
00:18:12.08\00:18:16.04
oh! yeah, and so they soak it up
00:18:16.07\00:18:18.74
and plus you want
them just a little soft
00:18:18.77\00:18:22.68
you want them more on
the whip side. That's right.
00:18:22.71\00:18:26.59
Like make mashed
potatoes, you can keep add,
00:18:26.62\00:18:28.71
add and add take the liquid and
00:18:28.74\00:18:30.50
then they still seem to
firm up, don't they, yeh.
00:18:30.53\00:18:33.56
I can smell it, very nice.
00:18:33.59\00:18:36.24
And now we are
going to add a little bit
00:18:36.27\00:18:37.41
of lemon juice, okay.
00:18:37.44\00:18:39.17
Just a little bit of tardiness
there and the maple syrup.
00:18:40.68\00:18:43.93
Oh! Yeah, that's good,
00:18:43.96\00:18:45.57
I'm all waiting for that,
00:18:45.60\00:18:48.63
and raw sugar just a
little pinch of salt, okay
00:18:48.66\00:18:52.48
and I am forgetting if
this is nutmeg or cinnamon.
00:18:52.51\00:18:57.37
Cinnamon. Okay,
00:18:57.40\00:18:58.37
but it was on the
recipe so you are not sure,
00:18:58.38\00:19:00.48
just look at the recipe.
00:19:00.51\00:19:01.92
It's probably cinnamon, okay,
00:19:01.95\00:19:05.38
I like that we
wouldn't put the nutmeg,
00:19:05.41\00:19:07.50
yeah, and then if you
don't mind just take that
00:19:07.53\00:19:10.93
spoon very nice and
then the last surprise,
00:19:12.26\00:19:16.29
yes, is we put nuts in here,
00:19:16.32\00:19:19.43
so you are also
getting your protein.
00:19:19.46\00:19:21.82
You get them on a crunch.
On a crunch nice texture.
00:19:21.85\00:19:25.60
That's right because
everything is nice and smooth
00:19:25.63\00:19:28.06
and mash and then boom
we get some nuts in there.
00:19:28.09\00:19:30.35
And again what a dish
to serve at the holiday
00:19:30.38\00:19:33.12
Oh! Yeah, that's right
00:19:33.15\00:19:34.12
long side of your Cranbury's.
00:19:34.13\00:19:35.75
Oh! Yeah, now we put
this in the oven and bake it,
00:19:35.78\00:19:38.83
no, no it's ready
to take like this.
00:19:38.86\00:19:41.30
Good, it is just ready to serve,
00:19:41.33\00:19:44.30
ready to serve and
very, very delicious.
00:19:44.33\00:19:47.91
That's right, now we are
gonna go to our last recipe.
00:19:47.94\00:19:50.76
Our special rolls but we
have a little twist in them too,
00:19:50.79\00:19:53.96
so let's read that
00:19:53.99\00:19:54.96
For the brown rice rolls
00:19:54.97\00:19:57.04
You need 6 to 7
cups unbleached flour
00:19:57.07\00:19:59.60
½ cup cornmeal ½
ounce of dry yeast
00:19:59.63\00:20:03.96
½ teaspoon salt 1/4
teaspoon baking soda
00:20:03.99\00:20:07.93
2 cups warm
water ½ cup maple syrup
00:20:07.96\00:20:11.83
1/4 cup margarine the
non-hydrogenated variety
00:20:11.86\00:20:16.16
2 cups cooked brown rice
00:20:16.19\00:20:18.51
Well, I like this recipe
I think this is really fun
00:20:20.46\00:20:22.67
Marie because we are
putting brown rice in rolls.
00:20:22.70\00:20:25.13
Isn't that interesting, it is.
00:20:25.16\00:20:27.05
You know if you can't
get your children to eat
00:20:27.08\00:20:29.18
brown rice or your family, yeah
00:20:29.21\00:20:32.85
this is a great way
to eat it, absolutely,
00:20:32.88\00:20:35.69
it is high in fiber you know
00:20:35.72\00:20:37.40
and it is just
something different
00:20:37.43\00:20:39.42
and they are very
nutty tasting almost
00:20:39.45\00:20:43.80
Yeah, absolutely, okay
00:20:43.83\00:20:45.79
let's put our
stuff in the bowl here.
00:20:45.82\00:20:47.25
Yeah, so we have the flour
00:20:47.28\00:20:50.28
and the yeast which
interestingly enough
00:20:50.31\00:20:53.62
you put it in
drought and the salt,
00:20:53.65\00:20:55.99
baking soda, good,
little bit of sugar,
00:20:57.60\00:21:01.87
so they have a little
bit of sweetness to them,
00:21:04.38\00:21:05.35
Yeah, and some maple
syrup again, oh! Yeah.
00:21:05.36\00:21:11.11
I think I like maple syrup
00:21:11.14\00:21:12.53
Yeah, me too, you and
me get along with that one
00:21:12.56\00:21:15.91
and little bit of
margarine instead of using oil.
00:21:15.94\00:21:19.99
Oh! Yes, Okay. This makes them
00:21:20.02\00:21:22.30
really soft,I bet it
really does, they really does.
00:21:22.33\00:21:26.29
So, you don't have
to bubble your yeast,
00:21:26.32\00:21:28.85
no it bubbles after
when you add the warm water.
00:21:28.88\00:21:32.26
Does that make
sense because you know
00:21:32.29\00:21:34.17
some recipes that
are supposed to bubble
00:21:34.20\00:21:35.48
they use steam
warm water, exactly,
00:21:35.51\00:21:37.73
exactly, and this
way you know it all
00:21:37.76\00:21:42.61
works at the same time. Okay.
00:21:42.64\00:21:43.61
Now, we are only doing
half of the recipe here
00:21:43.62\00:21:47.46
for you know to
demonstrate okay,
00:21:47.49\00:21:51.89
but the recipe calls for
6 to 7 cups of flour, okay
00:21:51.92\00:21:57.61
and you know you are never sure
00:21:57.64\00:22:02.20
just how soft or how
firm, so you always want to keep
00:22:02.23\00:22:06.09
a little extra water and
a little extra bench flour
00:22:06.12\00:22:09.56
just on the side so that it
won't be sticky, absolutely,
00:22:09.59\00:22:12.03
and then at the very end
you put in your brown rice,
00:22:12.06\00:22:15.88
cool, and you mix it in,
00:22:15.91\00:22:17.62
good and this is
just a surprising roll.
00:22:17.65\00:22:22.22
Yeah you know I
never want to put the rice
00:22:22.25\00:22:24.74
in that, this is a good idea.
00:22:24.77\00:22:26.36
God inspired you with that,
00:22:26.39\00:22:27.93
well I think so it's
just a wonderful recipe
00:22:27.96\00:22:31.62
now this is just a little softer
00:22:31.65\00:22:33.54
than I would like it,
00:22:33.57\00:22:34.54
but we finished
all the flour, okay,
00:22:34.55\00:22:36.19
but you know if you are at home
00:22:36.22\00:22:38.06
you just reach for your
little dish of flour, okay,
00:22:38.09\00:22:40.52
and what you do
is your work this
00:22:40.55\00:22:42.52
with a little extra flour, okay
00:22:42.55\00:22:45.06
and then you just make it
00:22:45.09\00:22:46.81
you are actually let
it rise for an hour, okay
00:22:46.84\00:22:49.22
and then you
punch it down, okay,
00:22:49.25\00:22:51.80
you can make a little bun,
00:22:51.83\00:22:54.67
yeah and let it
rise for 30 minutes
00:22:54.70\00:22:58.03
and then bake it off. Okay.
00:22:58.06\00:22:59.25
So, we have our little pan here,
00:22:59.28\00:23:01.75
but it's a little
too moist, I think,
00:23:01.78\00:23:03.66
little softer, so hard to form,
00:23:03.69\00:23:06.40
we kind a make it like a roll
like that, kind a like that.
00:23:06.43\00:23:09.45
And you will be able to roll it,
00:23:09.48\00:23:11.60
you will be able to roll it,
00:23:11.63\00:23:12.60
yes, yes, we kind of yeah,
00:23:12.61\00:23:14.58
have it little more flour.
00:23:14.61\00:23:16.96
Okay, so if you
had enough then you
00:23:17.51\00:23:18.89
roll it and stick it in that,
00:23:18.92\00:23:19.95
now what temperature
you bake it yet again.
00:23:19.98\00:23:21.84
We bake it, this is at,
00:23:21.87\00:23:23.45
I think it is
400, but you can also
00:23:24.33\00:23:26.90
make little
miniature lobes, oh! fine
00:23:26.93\00:23:29.55
and that's so
nice because you know
00:23:29.58\00:23:31.51
an individual for
like two people for dinner.
00:23:31.54\00:23:34.10
Yes, yeah so you can do
that. Okay and how long would it
00:23:34.13\00:23:37.92
be baked with the rolls here.
00:23:37.95\00:23:39.31
The rolls I think
there are 15 minutes,
00:23:39.34\00:23:41.74
okay, 12 to 15 minutes.
00:23:41.77\00:23:43.36
And if you put it in the pan.
00:23:43.39\00:23:45.44
Well, if you do it
just a individual pan
00:23:45.47\00:23:47.76
probably about 20, 20 minutes,
00:23:47.79\00:23:49.77
okay, when it just
starts getting golden.
00:23:49.80\00:23:51.88
Yeah that's nice and has risen.
00:23:51.91\00:23:54.02
Yeah, that's sounds so
good, yeh fresh out of the oven.
00:23:54.05\00:23:57.08
They are hmmmmm, hmmmmm.
00:23:57.11\00:23:58.76
Yeah that's
right, that's very good,
00:23:59.56\00:24:01.20
so I am just to be cap here
00:24:01.23\00:24:03.49
once you let it rise
for half an hour in the bowl
00:24:03.52\00:24:06.56
then you punch it
down, no one hour,
00:24:06.59\00:24:08.15
one hour in the bowl
then you punch it down
00:24:08.18\00:24:09.57
then you form into the rolls
00:24:09.60\00:24:10.81
and then how long it will rise.
00:24:10.84\00:24:11.93
About 30
minutes, 30 minutes okay
00:24:11.96\00:24:13.52
and then you make it,
thank you again, fun today.
00:24:13.55\00:24:16.33
Oh! we shared
it. Yes that's right
00:24:16.36\00:24:17.98
