Our Easter Keepers / Wielkanocne przepisy do zachowania

These recipes are our Favorite ones, considering holiday cooking. So I thought I should save them  in case if they disappear from the original net pages where they come from.
Besides, I want to share with you what we enjoyed having at Easter.

Przepisy, o których mowa w tym poście, należą do naszych ulubionych metod przygotowania tradycyjnych potraw świątecznych. Biorąc pod uwagę efekty smakowe oczywiście. Poza tym postanowiłam umieścić je na blogu, w razie, gdyby z jakichkolwiek przyczyn zniknęły one ze stron, na których je znalazłam.

The Ham / Szynka

It is a good recipe to be used at Christmas as well. We really love the taste of the ham cooked in such a way. However, I altered the original method a bit as I did not add ground cloves to the glaze  at all. I  covered the ham with aluminum foil and cooked it in the oven (10 minutes for each pound). Then I removed the foil and placed pineapple slices all over the ham, glazed it and cooked it 30 minutes longer (with additional glazing every 10 minutes).

Przepis ten wykorzystuję też, przygotowując szynkę na obiad w Boże Narodzenie. Smak szynki przygotowany w ten sposób zachwyca nasze podniebienia, sprawia też, że szynka szybko znika z talerzy. Oryginalny przepis znalazłam tutaj. Nie dodaję jednak goździków do glazury, jak sugeruje ta receptura.

 Glazura - przepis
    7.7 lb/3.5kg = 80 minutes of cooking
    Szynkę piekłam w temperaturze 325 F/ 160C (10 minut na każdy funt/około 0,5 kg), przykrytą folią aluminiową. Następnie folię usunęłam, położyłam krążki ananasa na szynce i polałam wszystko glazurą. Dalsze pieczenie to 30 minut bez folii, z polewaniem szynki glazurą co 10 minut.
    Efekt - super, przynajmniej według naszych upodobań.


    Deviled Eggs / Jajka faszerowane

    This year I used a different recipe than at previous Easter. Just did not enjoy the results of the other one very much. The new one, which is a a Southern recipe, is certainly a keeper.


    Diabelskie jajka są tradycyjnie serwowane w Stanach Południa USA, czyli także w Teksasie. Przygotowanie jest dość proste, kluczową sprawą są jednak proporcje składników, które dodajemy do żółtek ugotowanych na twardo. W tym roku wykorzystałam nowy przepis (link tutaj ).

    W tutejszych sklepach trudno znaleźć smaczny majonez. Większość ma w składzie za dużo (jak dla mnie) octu. Przez to mąż myślał, że robiąc żółtkową, masę dodałam do niej octu, bo trochę mocno czuć w niej było właśnie smak tego ostatniego. Niestety to z powodu majonezu. W związku z tym w przyszłym roku przygotowując jajka, postaram się pamiętać, by dodać do nich trochę mniej majonezu.

    Mandarin Pie / Deser mandarynkowo-ananasowy

    It is a delicious pie indeed. I am going to write more about it soon - in the next post on my 12 Months 12 Cakes project.


    O deserze tym, który nie jest właściwie ciastem, ponieważ się go nie piecze, napiszę wkrótce, w kolejnym poście na temat mojego projektu  '12 Ciast, 12 Miesięcy'.

    Easter Goodies & How To Sweep The Table Fast

    The Easter goodies you can see in the pictures below are already gone but it is nice to think how delicious they were.
    The cake was so good, moistened and not too sweet. It can be a really good birthday or any other holiday cake too. I did not have a kind of butter cake mix which was required in the original recipe, so I used what I had - a cake mix with 1/3 cup vegetable oil as an ingredient. That is why while making the cake I skipped butter of course. Besides that, I followed the instructions given by The Southern Lady  in her post. The Mandarin cake was a true success.
    I used two round, 9" cake tins - my cake had two layers not three though. Another great recipe worth keeping!

    Mandarin Orange Cake
    These deviled eggs were my first try ever. Next time, to adjust the taste of eggs to our likes, I will certainly add some more mustard and sweet relish than the recipe says. We liked them anyway, but they could have been a bit more spicy.

    This recipe also comes from the Southern Lady pages

    After Easter:


    Egg Leftovers - I used them to make a quick salad:
    • one big potato - peeled, cooked and diced.
    • 2 pickles - diced
    • 2/3 TBS mayonnaise
    • salt & pepper to taste
    • deviled eggs - leftovers - diced
    You just need to mix all the ingredients and the salad is ready. I enjoyed it even more than the eggs themselves.

    While having a meal, it often happens that some bread crumbs land on the table, making it a bit messy. To clear it, there is no need to remove the table cloth, you just need to find the right equipment.

    before Easter...
    A little table sweeping set is quite useful and convenient then. You just sweep the table/table cloth and all the crumbs go onto the little shovel, and your eating space is tidy again. My mum used to have quite a stylish table sweeping set, which she had received from her mother. It was made of metal, nicely decorated with a fancy pattern. The sweeping brush was a bit shorter and made of some very soft something. All in all, it looked more like a prop from 'Downton Abbey times'. Guess, maybe it was though not literally of course. The set I have is both simple and inexpensive which actually is a great advantage. Since it is not too big, you do not need much space to store it either.
    The set found and bought at Dollar Tree
