Hi Joyce,
Below are several recipes.

Fresh Elderberry Pie
Ingredients :
3 c. elderberries
2 tbsp. lemon juice
3/4 c. sugar
Pinch salt
1 heaping tbsp. cornstarch

Mix and bring to a boil. Put into unbaked pie shell. Bake at
450 degrees for 10 minutes; reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake for
45 minutes longer, or until nicely browned.

Pioneer Elderberry Pie
Ingredients :
Pastry for 2-crust pie
3 1/2 c. washed stemmed elderberries
1 tbsp. vinegar or lemon juice
1 c. sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
1/3 c. flour
1 tbsp. butter or margarine
Preparation :
Spread elderberries in pastry-lined 9-inch pie pan. Sprinkle with
vinegar. Combine sugar, salt and flour. Sprinkle over berries.

Elderberry Pie
Ingredients :
3 c. elderberries
1 to 1 1/2 c. sugar
5 tbsp. flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tbsp. cinnamon
3 tbsp. lemon juice
2 tbsp. butter
Preparation :
Make enough dough for double-crust pie. Cautiously remove stems
from elderberries. Mix the sugar, flour, salt, and cinnamon
together before carefully blending it through the elderberries. A
fork is good for this since it isn't apt to mash the berries. Pour
into the pastry-lined pie plate, and pour the lemon juice over the
berries. On top of this put dots of butter. Add the top crust
and seal. Very good served slightly warm. (I make them in 425
degree preheated oven, and bake for about 55 minutes.)

This pie crust is so flaky and tender, it can be kept in dry form
in the refrigerator for up to 3 months. Mix well or until crumbly.
use what is needed for pie dough and store rest in refrigerator, use
as little ice water as possible to make crust - just enough to hold
it together. Roll out and then add the fruit filling: 1 c. sugar 2
tbsp. tapioca 1 tbsp. flour 1 tbsp. lemon juice 1/8 tsp. salt Mix
together and coat each berry, pour into pie crust and top with
another crust, seal thoroughly and bake in preheated 370 degree oven
for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees and cook for 45 minutes
longer. Pie will bubble through the slits in the pie.

Subject: German Brotchen&German cheese balls
I'm looking for two recipes one is for German Brotchen( a roll used in sausage sandwich
and a german cheese ball that looks like dry cottage cheese but is shaped like a cake
about two and a half by one inch or so high. Very crumbly to eat. Thanks .
Hello Alta,
No luck with the chesse balls, but below are two brotchen recipes.
Phaed
German Brotchen Rolls
Ingredients
2 tablespoons active dry yeast
1 tablespoon white sugar
2 1/2 cups warm water (110 degrees F)
2 tablespoons shortening
2 teaspoons salt
7 cups all-purpose flour
3 egg whites, stiffly beaten
1 egg white (for egg wash)
2 tablespoons cold milk
Directions
1 In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Let sit until creamy; about 10 minutes.
2 Mix in shortening, salt and 3 cups of the flour. Beat with dough whisk or heavy spoon for 2 minutes.
Fold in egg whites. Gradually add flour 1/4 cup at a time, until dough forms a mass and begins to pull
away from bowl. Turn onto a floured surface. Knead, adding more flour as necessary, for 8 to 10 minutes,
until smooth and elastic with bubbles.
3 Lightly oil a large mixing bowl, place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a
damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour. Deflate the dough, form
into a round and let rise again until doubled, about 45 minutes.
4 Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Deflate the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured
surface. Divide the dough into 24 equal pieces and form into oval rolls about 3 1/2 inches long. Place on
lightly greased baking sheets, cover and let rise until doubled in volume, about 40 minutes.
5 Place an empty baking sheet on the bottom rack of the oven. In a small bowl, lightly beat the egg white
with the 2 tablespoons of milk to make the egg wash. Lightly brush the risen rolls with the egg wash. Place
1 cup of ice cubes on the hot baking sheet in the oven and immediately place the rolls in the oven.
6 Bake at 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) for about 20 minutes or until the tops are golden brown. Remove to
a wire rack and cool.
Makes 24 servings
--------------------------
Kimmelweck (German Kaiser Rolls, Brotchen or Weck)
2 tablespoons dry yeast
2 1/2 cups warm water
2 tablespoons solid shortening
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons salt
6 1/2 cups flour
3 egg whites, beaten stiffly
1 egg white, for egg wash
cold milk, for egg wash
caraway seeds for topping
kosher salt for topping
Proof yeast. Add shortening, sugar, salt and 3 cups of the flour.
Beat with dough whisk or heavy spoon for 2 minutes. Fold egg whites
into yeast mixture. Gradually add flour 1/4 cup at a time, until
dough forms a mass and begins to pull away from bowl. Turn onto
a floured surface. Knead, adding more flour as necessary, for 8-10
minutes, until smooth and elastic with bubbles. Place in oiled
bowl, turn to coat, and cover with damp towel. Let rise until
double, about 1 hour. Punch down, cover and let rise again until
double (about 45 minutes.) Punch down and turn out onto lightly
oiled surface.
For Kaiser or Weck: Divide dough into 18 pieces. Use rolling pin
to flatten each piece into a 7 inch circle. Fold left side to
center to form a flap. Halfway down flap fold again to center to
form another flap. Repeat all the way around to make overlapping
flaps. Lift the first flap to ease the last flap underneath.
Press center to seal the dough. Place rolls upside down on a
well-greased baking sheet, 3 inches apart. Let rise 30 minutes,
turn right side up, let rise 15 more minutes.
For Brotchen: Divide dough into 24 pieces. Shape each into an
oval about 3 1/2 inches long. Place on well greased baking sheet.
If your oven will not fit all at once, prepare half at a time,
keeping rest covered for 15 minutes. Flatten tops slightly. Cover
and let rise 45 minutes.
Preheat oven to 425. Put a shallow pan on the bottom shelf of
oven. Lightly brush the rolls with egg wash. Sprinkle with seeds
or coarse salt if desired. Place 1 cup of ice cubes in the heated
pan in oven. Immediately put the rolls in and bake 15 to 20 minutes
until golden brown (internal temp will read 190). Remove and cool
on racks.
NOTES : Kaiser and Brotchen are made from the same dough, but shaped
differently. Kaiser has the 5 sided pinwheel design, Brotchen are
smaller and oval shaped.

Hello Madame Ottignon,
I have never made them myself, but the below recipe came to me highly
recommended.
Phaed
Pickled Walnuts
2 1/4 lb / 1kg young green walnuts
1/4 lb / 350g salt
3 1/2 pints / 2 litres water
1 oz / 25g black peppercorns
1tsp allspice
2 1/2 pints / 1.5 litres wine vinegar
1/2 tsp freshly grated dry ginger
2 in. / 5cm stick of cinnamon, crumbled
1. Prick the walnuts all over with a carpet (or other large)needle. Place
the nuts in a ceramic bowl, dissolve half the salt in half the water and
pour over the walnuts. Cover and leave for 5 days in a cool place, stirring
twice a day to ensure even brining.
2. Drain the walnuts, mix the remaining salt and water, pour over the brine
and leave for another five days, stirring twice a day as before. Drain,
spread out in a single layer on a flat dish and leave to dry in the sun
until they are black.
3. Crush the peppercorns and allspice berries and simmer the vinegar with
the spices for 20 minutes. Allow to cool and strain. Pack the walnuts into
sterilized, wide-necked jars, filling them no more than three-quarters full,
and pour in the spiced vinegar. Cover and leave in a cool place for 6 weeks
before using.

I would like to know the bbq sauce that chilis uses on their baby back ribs?
srussell
Hello Srussel,
See below.
Phaed
Chili's Grilled Baby Back Ribs
4 racks baby back ribs
--Sauce--
1 1/2 cups water
1 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup tomato paste
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
2/3 cup dark brown sugar -- packed
1 teaspoon liquid smoke hickory flavoring
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1. Make the barbecue sauce by combining all of the ingredients for
the sauce in a medium saucepan over medium heat. When it comes to a
boil, reduce heat and simmer sauce, stirring often, for 45 to 60
minutes or until sauce is thick.
2. When you're ready to make the ribs, preheat the oven to 300
degrees.
3. Brush sauce over the entire surface of each rack of ribs. Wrap
each rack tightly in aluminum foil and arrange the packets on a
baking sheet with the seam of the foil facing up. Bake for 2 to 2-1/2
hours or until the meat on the ribs has pulled back from the cut ends
of the bones by about 1/2 inch. When the ribs are just about done,
preheat your barbecue grill to medium heat.
4. Remove the ribs from the foil (careful not to burn yourself -- the
liquid inside will be hot!) and grill them on the barbecue for 4 to 8
minutes per side or until the surface of the ribs is beginning to
char. Brush sauce on both sides of the ribs a few minutes before you
remove them from the grill. Just be sure not to brush on the sauce
too soon or it could burn.
5. Serve the ribs with extra sauce on the side and lots of napkins.
Makes 4 servings.
