I want to be sure and get these Mother's Day recipes down...
...before I forget them.
* * * * *Fresh Raspberry Cobbler Recipe
Preheat oven to 375°.
Fruit Prep:
36 oz (dry ounces) fresh raspberries
½ cup flour
½ rounded cup sugar (white sugar is best)
grated zest from about ¾ of a lemon
Toss raspberries, flour and sugar in bowl. Grate the lemon zest over the bowl. Retoss the mixture. Some of the raspberries will come apart and mix with the flour and sugar. Don't worry about this; it'll make a rich filling. Dump raspberry mixture into a 2 qt oval gratin dish.
Bisquit Crust:
1 cup white flour
½ cup whole wheat flour
1½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
½ heaping tsp Allspice
6 Tbl stick margarine or butter
¾ cup milk
Whisk together all dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. Cut in magarine until mixture looks like meal with some coarse crumbs and some fine crumbs. Add milk and stir with a flat wooden spoon or rubber spatula just until mixed. Drop spoonfuls or spatulafuls of dough on top of the fruit mixture.
Bake for 40 - 50 minutes, until crust is deep golden brown and raspberry mixture is bubbling.
* * * * *Sauced, Baked Meat Recipe
Preheat oven to 300°
Sauce Ingredients:
1 7 oz jar Dynasty Hoisin Sauce
¼ cup light soy sauce (Kikkoman is a good brand for this recipe)
1 Tbl grated fresh ginger
3 cloves garlic, slice and smashed or 2 tsp garlic powder
When I made this on Mother's Day, 2007, I had about three quarters of a jar of Hoisin Sauce in the refrigerator, so I made up the difference with a ginger/soy Asian vinaigrette.
Whisk sauce ingredients together.
Spray with cooking spray a 13 x 9 glass baking dish. Arrange 3.75 lbs. of beef loin tri-tip strips in the dish. Pour in the sauce. Turn and brush the meat so that each piece is well covered. Tightly cover the baking dish with aluminum foil. Bake for three hours. Turn the oven to 350°. Turn the meat in the baking dish. Return the meat to the oven uncovered and bake for an additional hour.
Remove meat from oven. Allow to sit at least 15 minutes. Before serving, spoon or drain the fat off the meat. Transfer meat to serving platter (if you wish), set it on the table and dig in.
