CHRISTMAS TREE "FOOD"



Christmas Tree

DO NOT DRINK THIS OR CONSUME IT IN ANY WAY - this is a mixture used to water your Christmas tree to keep it fresh throughout the season. If you have pets or small children who may get into the mixture at the bottom of the tree, do not use the bleach. I leave it out because I have a cat who gets into the water at the bottom of the tree. The vinegar helps the tree to take in more of the water, the corn syrup acts as an energy source for the tree, and the bleach helps to prevent mold and fungi from growing in the water or on the base of the tree. The copper in the penny acts as a fungicide and an acidifier. The Food.com computer will let me put bleach in as an ingredient (weird), but it won't let me put "a penny" in as an ingredient, so just know that "1 penny" should be listed in the ingredients list. This mixture also helps to keep cut flowers fresh.

Time 5m

Yield 1 gallon

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 gallon water
4 teaspoons white vinegar
2 cups light corn syrup or 1 cup sugar
4 teaspoons bleach (optional)

Steps:

  • DISCLAIMER: This should go without saying, but - DO NOT DRINK THIS. THIS MIXTURE IS NOT MEANT TO BE CONSUMED BY HUMANS OR ANIMALS. IT SHOULD ONLY BE USED TO WATER YOUR CHRISTMAS TREE.
  • IMPORTANT: DO NOT MIX VINEGAR AND BLEACH TOGETHER DIRECTLY - IF YOU MIX THEM DIRECTLY THE MIXTURE WILL PRODUCE TOXIC VAPORS. MIX THE VINEGAR WITH THE WATER FIRST, THEN PROCEED WITH THE REST OF THE RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the water and the vinegar.
  • Add the corn syrup or the sugar, and stir well until all is combined or the sugar is dissolved. If you are using sugar, it may help to use half hot water first to dissolve the sugar, then add the second half, using cold water.
  • Add the bleach, if using, and mix well to combine.
  • Place your Christmas tree securely in the Christmas tree stand.
  • Place a penny in the reservoir of the Christmas tree stand, then fill it with the water mixture.
  • Store the remainder of the mixture in a gallon jug, and check the tree every day to see if it needs more of the mixture. Christmas trees which are not watered and which dry out become fire hazards, so make sure your tree is kept watered. If you have used bleach in the mixture label the container appropriately so that no one will drink from it.

HEALTHY FOOD CHRISTMAS TREE, FOR ANY TIME OF YEAR !



Healthy Food Christmas Tree, for Any Time of Year ! image

I was looking for inspiration for a veggie tray and saw a photo on the Net that got me thinking. From there I devised my own variation and here it is :) Use any cheeses that can be cut into blocks (preferably of different colours for contrast) For instance, I used Westfriese kruidenkaas(a herb cheese), Cantenaar(a yellow mature cheese) and a mild white goats cheese. All measurements are approximate because it depends entirely on how many you are serving and how large you make your "tree". Serve with a pot of toothpicks so that your guest can select their pieces of choice. Excellently healthy for a party crowd and great addition for those of us trying to make our nibbles a little healthier.

Time 20m

Yield 20-30 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 red bell pepper
1 green bell pepper
1 yellow bell pepper
400 g cheese (14 oz various varieties of your choice)
of fresh mint, chopped
200 g cherry tomatoes (7 oz, or grape tomatoes)
1 carrot
1 round marshmallows
olive oil
lemon juice (optional)

Steps:

  • Line a flat tray with foil.
  • Cut all of the cheese into bite sized cubes.
  • Wash and drain well,the bell peppers, mint and tomatoes and carrot. Slice the peppers into small strips and place each colour together in a pile.
  • Roughly slice the mint leaves.
  • Peel the carrot and cut into matchsticks.
  • Place a few pieces of cubed cheese in the centre bottom of the tray (this is the "trunk" of your "tree").
  • In order to achieve the Christmas Tree effect ,the broadest row will be at the bottom of the try and each successive row will be shorter on each end so that the whole three is more or less the shape of a triangle with a very narrow top.
  • Place a full row of cheese cubes directly above this and then a row of mint, a row of tomatoes, a row of carrots, a row of white cheese, a little mint, a row of yellow pepper, a row of tomatoes, a row of cheese, a row of green pepper, a row of tomato, a row of mint carrot, and finially a tiny row of red pepper.
  • NOTE: it's possible to carefully pile each row upwards evenly so that they are more or less the same height and the layers are not too thin.
  • To finish, cut a round marshmellow in half, and just using one half, and with a sharp knife, cut small wedges all the way around it so that it resembles a star. Place the the top of the "tree" on top of the red bell pepper strips.
  • before serving drizzle a few drops of olive oil (and lemon juice if prefered) over the vegetable sections of the tree, or serve with the dip of your choice.
