Cocktail Recipes

Grandma Linda asked:




Do your children come home from school begging for a snack? Or perhaps you are looking for a new cookie for the lunchbox. Give this great old-fashion cookie recipe a try. Some of our best cookie recipes are the vintage ones. These Fruit Cocktail Gems are drop cookies making them very easy to prepare. But it is still a good cookie, especially for the kids. It has fruit from the cocktail plus raisins and heart-healthy walnuts. Walnuts are good-for-you nuts. Let your children learn to love walnuts from an early age. Resist the desire to substitute their favorite nuts and stick with the walnuts. If you want to go even healthier, substitute Splenda granular for the “white” sugar called for.

FRUIT COCKTAIL DROP COOKIES

This recipe was from an old Christian Church in Idaho many, many years ago.

1 can (1 lb size) fruit cocktail

1/2 cup butter

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1/4 cup white sugar

1/2 tsp vanilla

1 egg

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp ground cloves

1/2 cup chopped walnuts

1/2 cup raisins

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease cookie sheets and set aside.

Drain fruit cocktail saving 1/3 cup of the syrup. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, white sugar, and vanilla until fluffy. Add the egg to the sugar mixture and beat well. Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and cloves. Add the dry mixture to the sugar mixture along with the reserved 1/3 cup of syrup. Stir in the walnuts, raisins, and fruit cocktail. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake at 375 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes until lightly browned.

Yield: 3 1/2 dozen.

Enjoy!

I need to MAKE a fruit cocktail from scratch using fresh fruits. and no, I can’t just go buy a Delmonte fruit cocktail. =)

Alexa’s Mom asked:


What interesting cocktail can I make with either vodka, champagne or both and any juice. I don’t want it to be too strong. I was thinking of maybe doing something with freezing the juice to make a slush consistency or something… What can I make?

drlowens asked:


made with cool whip, lime jello, fruit cocktail, pecans, and maybe same pineapples. It was a chilled desert that was cut into large squares. wonderful and light,,,I have to know what it is…

rosey asked:


I’ve seen many receipes with cool whip but that’s not the kind I’m looking for. Basically I need to know how much whipping cream to use with a large can of fruit cocktail, mandarin oranges, cherries, grapes, chuck pineapples. Then the whipping cream just gets firm with a hand mixer, right? Thanks for your help.
