4 oz (1/2 cup) ground almonds 2 tb (2 1/2 T) ground rice 1/2 pt (1 1/4 cup) milk 2 tb (2 1/2 T) sugar 1 ts Gelatin Here are a couple of recipes for almond pudding. There are lots of variations of this dish some using dairy products, some using gelatin and some using agar agar and some combining them. It IS good! This first one is more “from scratch”. The second uses almond extract. Mix the almonds and rice in a bowl with 2 pints (5 cups) cold water, cover and leave for 2 hours. Strain through a fine muslin into a large bowl. Add milk and mix well. Stand the bowl in a large saucepan with enough boiling water to come halfway up the sides of the bowl. Cover and simmer for 2 hours, stirring occasionally. Add the sugar, stir well and leave to cool slightly. Mix the gelatin with 2 tablespoons (2 1/2 T) hot water until dissolved. Stir into the milk mixture when almost cold. Mix well and pour into a shallow serving dish. Leave until set. The Gourmet’s Guide to Chinese Cooking, Ann Body. 1974, Octopus Books Limited, 59 Grosvenor Street, London W1. ISBN 7064 0153 0.

| Ingredients | |||
| 1/2 | cup | jalapeno peppers, stems/seeds removed | |
| 1 | lg | red bell pepper, stem/seeds removed | |
| 2 | cup | cider vinegar | |
| 1/2 | cup | apricots, dried and chopped | |
| 6 | cup | sugar 3 oz liquid pectin | |
| 4 | each | drops red food color | |
Directions: | |||
| Put jalapenos, bell pepper, and vinegar in blender. Puree ’til coarsely ground and small chunks remain. Combine apricots, sugar, and jalapeno/pepper/vinegar mixture in large saucepan. Bring to a boil. Boil rapidly, 5 minutes. Remove from heat; skim off any foam that forms. Allow mixture to cool for 2 minutes. Then mix in pectin (and food coloring if you’re going to use it). Pour into sterilized jars, seal, and cool. (I processed in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.) Yield: 3 pints (I got 7 half pint containers.) This recipe calls for apricots but peaches, nectarines, and pears work equally well. Any fresh green chile can also be substituted, depending on your heat preference. Serranos will make it hotter; roasted, peeled New Mexican chiles will tame it down. | |||
