Winter Pudding Food

WINTER PUDDING

Steps:

• In a food processor chop cranberries fine and in a saucepan combine with sugar and 1/2 cup water. Simmer mixture, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes. On a baking sheet arrange bread slices and brush tops and edges with some cranberry cooking liquid.
• Peel, quarter, and core apples. Cut apples into 1-inch chunks and add to cranberry mixture with cinnamon sticks and cloves, stirring. Simmer mixture, stirring occasionally, 10 minutes, or until apples are just tender and most liquid is evaporated.
• While apple mixture is simmering, in a very small bowl sprinkle gelatin over remaining tablespoon water and let soften 1 minute. Stir gelatin mixture into fruit mixture until dissolved.
• Arrange 6 bread slices, overlapping slightly, against inside of a deep 1-quart bowl or pudding mold with coated side against inside of bowl or mold. Gently press remaining bread slice into bottom and spoon fruit mixture over bread. Chill pudding, covered with plastic wrap, until completely cold, at least 6 hours, and up to 2 days.
• To unmold pudding, run a thin knife around edge of bowl or mold and invert pudding onto a plate. Serve pudding cut into wedges.

WINTER BIRD PUDDING (BIRD FOOD)

Steps:

• In a large kettle, bring water and margarine to boiling.
• Slowly add cereals and cook, stirring constantly until the mixture is fully cooked and thick.
• Remove from heat.
• Add peanut butter and desired amount of chopped fruit, nuts, and seeds.
• Cool and place in plastic containers.
• Serving amounts depend on how large you make your bird feeders so the"yield" is a guess.
• Note: pack the mixture into chopped off chunks of panty hose or put in pine cones.
• Hang the mixture in protected crooks of trees.
• You can also spread the mixture onto a surface area (don't use aluminum pans; when it's freezing, little bird feet can stick to the metal and suffer injury), set out on ground or picnic bench.
• By placing the food at different elevations, you will attract many species of birds.
• The food can be preserved in a freezer (if there is any left over).
• Just be sure to use it within three to four months.
