Baked Lemon Pudding

Baked Lemon Pudding
2 eggs, separated
1/4 t salt
1/2 c sugar
1 T grated lemon rind
5 T lemon juice
2 T melted butter
1/4 c sugar
3 T flour
1 c milk

Preheat 350. Grease a 1 quart casserole.

Beat egg whites with salt until peaks form. Slowly add 1/2 c sugar; beat until stiff, set aside.

In new bowl beat yolks with lemon rind, juice, and melted butter. Add 1/4 c sugar mixed with flour; add milk.

Fold into egg whites. Pour batter into casserole. Set in pan containing 1/2" hot water.

Bake, uncovered 55 to 65 minutes or until golden.

This tastes like lemon meringue, but Chris will eat it. Very yummy. I thought ours was a bit overcooked after only 25 min. It should separate into a cake like and a sauce like layer, ours did not. It was very much like a lemon meringue pie, with everything mixed together.

Sarah's BBQ Seasoning

I find this recipe especially hard to look up in my recipe book, it is not listed as bbq seasoning in the index and it isn't within a bbq chicken/pork/brisket recipe. It usually takes me 20 min to find it. So here it is with my adaptations for a larger quantity plus the changes I have made over the years--usually based on missing and substituting ingredients.

Sarah's BBQ Seasoning
1 T salt
1 T black pepper
1 1/2 t celery seeds
1 t ground cloves
1 t red pepper

That is it. I usually refill an empty spice container with this amount, but it only last through 2-3 BBQ dinners. We make a lot of bbq when we make it. Just coat meat generously and cook 8-10 hrs. Serve with Sarah's BBQ Sauce.

Sarah's BBQ Sauce

It is hard to find bbq sauce at a normal store that isn't full of things I would rather not eat.

Sarah's BBQ Sauce
1 c organic heinz ketchup
1/4 c organic apple cider vinegar
2 T brown sugar
2 T thai seasoning
1 T dry mustard
1/2 T paprika

Delicious. My new and improved home made sauce. Do not be weirded out by the thai seasoning it has the same ingredients as worcestershire sauce, minus the caramel coloring and highfructose corn syrup, you can optionally add 1 T molasses. Read the label.
