Green Mountain Cookies

1lb. melted butter
5 c sugar
3 T cinnamon
3 T cloves
Mix together and cool
add 2 eggs-1 at a time

dissolve 2T baking soda in 1/2 cup + 2T water

add rind of one orange
1/4tsp lemon extract
1/2 c molasses

add 7 C flour
pinch baking powder and salt

mix well
form into logs
wrap and freeze-these will keep in freezer
slice when ready to eat and bake in 350 degree oven 5 to 7 minutes.

Nova Scotia Brown Bread

2 C boiling water over 1 C oatmeal
1/2 C molasses
1 T salt
1 T melted butter
1 yeast cake dissolved in 1/2 C luke warm water
1 C rolled oats
4 1/2 C flour and a little more

add boiling water to oats and let stand 1 hour.
add molasses, salt and butter, then dissolved yeast and flour.
let rise.

beat down all the way
turn into greased pans
let rise again
bake in 350 degree oven

This bread tastes great as toast-big thick slices in the morning.
Could also be used as a brown bread to accompany a baked bean supper.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone,
Dave and Heather M.

Beverage-
Nice Punch for Holiday visitors who like juicey,sweet punch.

1.75 or 2 Fifths Peach Schnapps
1 Half gallon Peach Cranberry Fruit Drink
1 Half Gallon Orange Juice
1 Quart of either Pineapple or Grapefruit juice or Squirt Soda
(you choose Pineapple for sweeter, or Grapefruit for Tarter)
1 Fifth 80 proof Vodka

Mix well and store in 'Frig' til needed. Float some Orange slices with marashino cherries on the slice on top of the Punch in the Punchbowl. Makes a bunch, but is storable for several parties if needed.
