Candlemas Sunrise & Snow Oranges
TWO IMBOLC RECIPES
A Kitchen’s Witch’s Cookbook by Patricia Telesco is an invaluable book listing magical attributes for each dish, along with celebrations they are particularly suited for. The following two recipes are excerpts from that book and are both perfect for Imbolc.
CANDLEMAS SUNRISE
When prepared correctly, the cooked egg looks like a golden sun rising out of the snow (egg whites).
Dash of nutmeg
2 slices of toast, buttered
2 eggs, separated
2 slices cheese, any kind
Preheat the broiler.
Combine the nutmeg and egg white; beat until stiff. Spread over the toast.
Make a small indentation in the center; drop in the egg yolk. Sprinkle with salt.
Cover the yolk with 1 slice of cheese. Broil until the egg is completely cooked and the cheese is melted, 3-5 minutes.
Yield: 2 servings.
SNOW ORANGES
When properly prepared, this dish looks like the sun rising off the snow.
2 envelopes unflavored gelatin
2 ½ cups sugar
½ cup cold water
3 cups whipped cream
1 (12-ounce) can mandarin oranges, drained (reserve syrup)
In a medium sized bowl, dissolve the gelatin in the cold water. Add water to the mandarin orange syrup to make 2 cups.
Combine the syrup and sugar in a medium sized saucepan. Bring to boil over medium heat; boil for 5 minutes.
Add to the gelatin; stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Cool to lukewarm.
Slowly add the whipped cream to the gelatin. Pour into a chilled 9 x 9 inch pan.
Garnish with the orange slices, pushing them down so that they are just visible through the surface.
Chill.
Yield 8 servings.
