You can also make Jelly (jello)Cakes the same way. Just make a raspberry (or whatever flavour you like)jelly, dip the cake in, and roll in coconut. If you use patty cakes instead of block cake, split the side and add whipped cream.

This is a recipe from our trip to Cyprus, I make it a lot and we love it.

Afelia

Use cheaper cuts of pork cut into small pieces or hunks 2-3 inches

Marinate over night in red wine

Fry until well browned on all sides

Place in either crock pot (which I use) or dutch oven, add marinade and slow cook for several hours. Add more wine as needed.

Top with cumin seeds before serving

Meet has wonderful browned flavor enhanced by the red wine. Cumin seed is optional as far as I am concerned.

I am from Massachusetts, but my mother's mother was born in Germany. Here is her recipe for a German Pot Roast.

SAUERBRATEN


3-4 LBS. POT ROAST
2 TABLESPOONS OF CRISCO
3-4 TABLESPOONS OF SALT
2 MEDIUM ONIONS SLICED OR DICED
1 BAY LEAF
1 TABLESPOON BROWN SUGAR
¼ CUP VINEGAR
¼ CUP WATER
¼ TEASPOON ALLSPICE
¼ TEASPOON CINNAMON
¼ TEASPOON GROUND CLOVES
½ RAISINS


Brown meat on all sides in hot fat in a large heavy pan. Sprinkle with salt. Top with onions and bay leaf. Dissolve sugar and vinegar in water, add spices, and pour over meat. Cover pan and cook over low heat two hours, adding more water as needed. Turn meat and top with raisins. Cover, continue cooking until tender. Remove meat and make gravy by thickening juices in pan with flour.

I prefer to use a half cup of vinegar.

Boston1954--
Sauerbraten...yum!
My former FIL grew up in Germany and my MIL used to make this alot for him.
Thanks for the recipe memory. I think I'll make it soon.

You are VERY welcome!! I had this more times than I can remember when I was a kid, and I have made it a lot for my husband.

Might not get any recipes at all...lol
Win some, lose some. :-)

well, I will start something from right here in USA and it's very easy...and quick.

Peach cobbler
1 cup each flour and sugar
1 tsp. each of salt and baking powder
1 egg.
Mix dry ingredients and break egg into it, stir with fork until crumbly.

using an 8" or 9" sq. pan, place peaches from a 16oz. can, drained, into bottom of pan. I usually cut peaches into smaller pieces.
Dot with pieces of butter and then sprinkle with cinnamon.

Cover with the crumb mixture and bake 45 minutes at 325 degrees or until nicely browned.
The last time I made this, I also sprinkled with cinnamon on top of crumbs.
Serve warm or cold and with whipped cream or ice cream & enjoy

I have tried a similar recipe using apples or pineapple. I was good
Add cinnamon and/or allspice to flour mixture works well
I use self-rising flour omiting the salt and baking powder.

Another one from Australia.


Lamingtons

Block of plain cake (butter cake is fine) about 1½" thick. Cut into 2" squares, dip in chocolate icing, and roll in coconut. Leave to set. Enjoy.

A lot of schools, sporting and social clubs etc have "Lamington Drives' to raise money. The mums make lamingtons by the 100's.[/quote]


I am definitely going to try this one sounds wonderful!
