Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
3 cups basmati rice — long grain
2 teaspoons salt
5 1/2 cups water
2 tablespoons olive oil

This is the simplest way of cooking Persian rice.
1. Pick over and wash 3 cups of rice 5 times in warm water.

2. Place rice, salt, and water in a deep non-stick pot. Bring to a boil over
high heat, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes over medium heat
(do not cover the rice). Gently stir the rice with a wooden spoon a few times
while it boils.

3. When the rice has absorbed all the water, pour the oil over it and stir
through gently with a wooden spoon. Reduce heat.

4. Place a clean dish towel or 2 layers of paper towel over the pot and cover
firmly with the lid on to prevent steam from escaping. Cook 40 minutes over
low bleat. Remove the pot from heat and allow to cool for 5 minutes on a damp
surface without uncovering.

5. Gently taking one skimmer or spatula full of rice at a time, without
disturbing the bottom crust, place the rice on a serving platter. Mound rice
in shape of a cone.

6. Detach the crust from the bottom of the pot using a wooden spatula. Place
on a small platter and serve.

Title: Cooling Jars
Categories: Canning, Information
Yield: 1 guide

When you remove hot jars from a canner, do not retighten their jar lids.
Retightening of hot lids may cut through the gasket and cause seal
failures. Cool the jars at room temperature for 12 to 24 hours. Jars may
be cooled on racks or towels to minimize heat damage to counters (Plate
1). The food level and liquid volume of raw-packed jars will be
noticeably lower after cooling. Air is exhausted during processing and
food shrinks. If a jar loses excessive liquid during processing, do not
open it to add more liquid. Check for sealed lids. For more information
see “Testing Jars Seals”.

1 1/2 c Buttermilk
1/2 c Fresh lemon juice — about 4 lemons

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

light coating of cooking spray or oil. Place the cups in a
2-inch-deep baking pan. Begin to heat a kettle of water to a boil.

In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and 3/4 cup of the
sugar. (If you want a very sweet confection, use a whole cup of
sugar.) Stir in the buttermilk, lemon juice, beaten egg yolks, and
the grated lemon peel, if using, and set aside.

With an electric mixer, beat the egg whites and salt until the whites
are stiff. Beat in the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar. Gently fold the
