RUMS #44

Es ist wieder RUMStaaaag!!!!!

 

In aller Kürze:

Gezeigt werden darf alles, was DU für DICH SELBER genäht, gestickt, gestrickt, gehäkelt, gebastelt, geklöppelt oder sonstwie gehandarbeitet hast. 

Du darfst dabei Werbung machen, auf Verlosungen hinweisen, Handstand machen oder ein Tanzvideo einstellen - nur Du solltest etwas zeigen, was DU ganz persönlich FÜR DICH selbstgemacht hast.

Du schreibst für diese Sache am Donnerstag einen Post, in dem Du zu RUMS verlinkst - und das als LINK und nicht als Text! Nur mit einem Backlink funktioniert die Verlinkung hier unter dem Post.
Unter den Fotos findest Du das Verlinkungstool. Da trägst Du den Link von Deinem Blogpost (nicht nur vom Blog), Deinen Namen und Deine Mailadresse (die bleibt unsichtbar) und ZACK - es RUMSt auch bei Dir!

CHRISTMAS COOKIES

I am a "list maker" and one of the lists I thoroughly enjoy making is my holiday baking list. From October through early December, I pour over my old tried and true recipes then surf the web for new recipes I want to try. I make a ton of cookies for Christmas, so I'm always on the hunt for a new one to try.

Below are three great Christmas cookie recipes; I hope you and  your family enjoy them.

click on the link under the

photo for the recipe;

Chocolate-Peanut Butter Cookies

 

These are made with a spritz type dough that is baked in a mini muffin pan and when they come out of the oven and are still piping hot, you press a FROZEN mini-Reece cup into the cookie; they are wonderful and look very pretty on any cookie tray.

 



Cream Cheese Spritz Cookies

Spritz cookies are traditional at Christmas, however cream cheese spritz cookies are even better!! They are similar to a shortbread cookie in overall taste, however, they are light as a feather and crispy. You can make them look "holiday ready" with a tiny chip of maraschino cherry in the center or dust them with holiday sprinkles.

 

Chewy Molasses Cookies

 

The aroma of these molasses cookies, hot out of the oven, says "Christmas" to me. They are gently spiced and (if you keep them in an airtight container) will stay soft for days. They truly are a PERFECT holiday cookie.





FRUIT CRUMB BARS

This is one of those wonderfully versatile recipes that is just as good with apple filling, as it is with cherry filling, or blueberry; whatever your family likes the best.

The crumb crust/topping goes together in just a couple minutes with the food processor and if you can wait long enough for the bars to cool down to room temperature, they cut beautifully. We (obviously) couldn't wait that long (in the photo below).

CRUMB CRUST/TOPPING
3 cups all purpose flour
1 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup COLD butter (cubed)
1 egg, beaten

Put the flour, sugar, baking powder salt and cubed butter into the food processor and pulse until well mixed.  If you don't have a food processor, do it with a pastry cutter and work it until the butter is well mixed. Add egg and mix well (it will look like coarse sand).

Press HALF of this mixture into a greased 9" x 13" baking dish.  Top with fruit filling and top with the other half of the crumb mixture.

Bake at 375° if you are using a metal baking pan or 350° if you are using glass, for 40 minutes or until top crumbs are light golden.

If you cool the bars completely before you cut them,

they will cut very neatly (it is not necessary, but it

makes for a prettier presentation.

 

CHERRY FRUIT FILLING (or use your favorite filling)
(2) 14 ounce cans tart pie cherries packed in water
1 1/2 cups sugar (DIVIDED)
4 tablespoons + 2 teaspoon cornstarch
pinch of salt
1/2 teaspoon almond extract (do not leave out)

Drain the cherries, but save the juice.  Put one cup of the juice in a saucepan and add HALF of the sugar, the cornstarch and salt. Bring to a boil and cook until nice and thick.

Remove from heat and stir in the OTHER HALF of the sugar, the cherries and the almond extract. 

Glaze   (optional)
2 tablespoon butter melted
2 cups powdered sugar
3-4 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract (do not leave out)

While bars are still a little warm, mix 2 tablespoons melted butter with 2 cups powdered sugar, about 3 or 4 tablespoons of milk and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1/2 teaspoon almond extract. Whisk until smooth and drizzle over fruit bars.

Warning to Fellow Bloggers

 

 

A sweet blogging friend recently emailed me and said that she saw one of my recipe photos posted on another persons recipe blog. It was disturbing, but it wasn't the first (and probably not the last) time this has happened to me, so I tried not to over react.

But today, totally by accident, I ran across another web page (from Indonesia, no less!!) that had a TON of my recipes and photos posted as if they were this persons own work; not a single mention or link back to my recipe page at all!! So I started looking around the Internet, and I was shocked to see how "common" this practice is. 

So far, it seems that all of my photos that were swiped, were one's I posted before 2011. I'm guessing that must be, because in 2011, I started putting my name on my recipe photos; evidently, people don't like to steal photos that are labeled (I wish I had known that!!)

The funny thing is, is that I'm a terrible photographer!! Why are they stealing MY photos when there are so many great ones out there? Maybe mine are the ONLY ONES not labeled(?)

Lesson for the day:

 

PUT YOUR NAME ON ALL OF YOUR RECIPE PHOTOS MY FRIENDS!! and not just in the corner of the photo either because I've had people tell me that "thieves" are just cropping the authors name off of the edge of the photo and re-posting it.........Grrrrr!!

I am slowly going back through and labeling my old recipe photos, but it is a pain to do.

Thanks for listening to my rant.
