Cranberry Tart
This recipe was given to me by a work friend (now retired), Mrs. Paula Eckrich, Esq. It has
become a family favorite of ours. (Thanks Paula!)
6 oz. fresh cranberries (one 12 oz. bag will
make two tarts)
3/4 cup melted butter
2 eggs
1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans 1 cup flour
1/2 cup sugar 1 cup sugar
Spray the bottom of an 8- to 9-inch (round) cake pan with cooking spray. Dump in enough
cranberries to cover the bottom of the pan with one layer. Sprinkle nuts over berries. Sprinkle
1/2 cup sugar over the berries and nuts.
Mix together the melted butter, eggs, flour and one cup sugar until well blended and pour, or
spread, over the berry mix. Bake at 350 degrees until a toothpick in the center comes out clean.
Usually 30 to 40 minutes.
As soon as the tart comes out of oven, invert round pan onto a serving plate. Careful, tart will
be hot. Tap round pan to make sure all of the tart releases onto plate.

Cream Puffs
with Chocolate Glaze
I love cream puffs. This recipe is from my grandmother. She used to make cream puffs whenever
we came to visit her.
1/2 cup butter CHOCOLATE GLAZE:
1 cup water 1-1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup flour 6 Tbls. heavy whipping cream
4 eggs 1 tsp. vanilla
dash salt dash salt
CREAM FILLING:
2 boxes (3.4 oz.) instant vanilla pudding
3 cups half & half
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium saucepan, bring butter and water to a boil.
Stir in the flour and mix with a wooden spoon until the mixture forms a mass in the center of
the pan and can easily be removed from the sides of the pan. Remove from the heat and allow
to cool for a few minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing with hand-held mixer between
each egg. Add the salt and stir well.
Spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray and use a 1-1/2 inch scoop to scoop the batter from
the saucepan and onto the sheet. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the puffs are dry and
golden brown. Allow them to cool to room temperature.
To make the cream filling, place the pudding and half & half into a mixer and beat on high for
three to four minutes. Scrape the bottom of the bowl several times to make sure that the dry
pudding mix does not get stuck. Allow the pudding to sit for a few minutes. It will continue to
thicken.
Take a serrated knife and cut each of the cream puffs in half. Spoon the cream filling into the
bottom half of each cream puff, then top with the other half.
To make the chocolate glaze, place the chocolate chips and cream in a glass measuring cup.
Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each one until the chocolate is smooth and
silky. Add the vanilla and salt and stir well. Allow the mixture to sit for three to four minutes.
Carefully spread a dollop of the chocolate glaze over the top of each cream puff. Serve and
enjoy. Refrigerate leftovers for up to three days. Yield: 30 cream puffs.

Egg White Cookies
I promised to keep a friend up on high school news (Cleveland High School) when he joined the
Navy in the late 60s. When he was stationed in Vietnam, I asked his mom what his favorite
cookies were, so that I could send them to him for Christmas. I expected chocolate chip. I was
surprised to hear egg white cookies. I learned how to make them and after 45 years of marriage,
32
I still make them for him every Christmas.

1 cup sugar 1 tsp. vanilla

3 large egg whites
1-1/4 cup coconut
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans (optional)
2 drops of red or green food coloring 28
Beat egg whites until stiff. Add sugar slowly. Fold coconut and vanilla into the mixture. Fold in
food coloring and pecans.
Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Grease and flour cookie sheets. Drop 1/2 teaspoon of dough onto
cookies sheet an inch apart. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Carefully remove and cool on racks.
These can be stored for a couple of weeks (or a trip overseas).
