Many of us have used the recipes we've received from our DC friends. What are the one or two recipes that you've tried and have gotten absolute rave reviews from?
Also, please post not only the recipe, but the original poster.
Here are the two that I cannot do without:
I made the Konditor's orange cups many times, and each time they came out perfectly.
Rainee's marinade was an immediate success, which made my family make me promise that I wouldn't make any other for our new york steaks ever again!
Baked Sweet Potatoes in Orange Cups
from Konditor
5 thin-skinned oranges, halved hemispherically
3 lbs sweet potatoes, pared and cut into large chunks
1 cup white granulated sugar
5 ounces uns. butter (plus another ounce for topping)
Salt & freshly ground pepper, to taste
2 ounces peeled fresh gingerroot, grated
Using grapefruit knife, remove flesh from oranges over a sieve place above a bowl; reserve the juice. Squeeze remaining juice from fruit into the bowl. Measure out ½ cup orange juice; reserve remaining juice for another use.
Cook sweet potatoes in large, covered saucepan of boiling water for 20-30 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced w/ point of knife. Drain. Return sweet pots to saucepan. Heat over med. heat & shake pan about 1 min. Mash the potatoes. Add orange juice, sugar, 5 oz. butter, and seasonings; beat until combined.
Mound sweet potatoe mixture into orange shells; sprinkle the tops evenly w. grated ginger; dot w/ remaining ounce of butter. (The filled orange cups can be made ahead, covered and refrigerated for up to 6 hours.)
Bake the cups at 350 degrees until heated through, about 25 min.
