1 hours
Serves:
7
Category:
dessert , easy
Ingredients:
10 cups fresh homemade curd cheese
at least 1/2 cup (125 ml) caster sugar or icing sugar
one 7.5 cm (3-inch) strip of lemon rind
Step Wise Instructions:
Knead and bray the curd cheese on a clean surface until it is silky smooth and creamy.
Gather into one lump and calculate its volume with measuring cups. Measure one-quarter that volume of sugar.
Combine the cheese, sugar, and lemon rind and again briefly knead and bray the cheese.
Place a heavy-bottomed pan on the lowest possible heat and, constantly stirring with a wooden spoon, cook the cheese for 10 to 15 minutes or until its surface becomes glossy and its texture slightly thickens.
Scrape the sandesh from the pan and remove the lemon rind. Press the sandesh onto a lightly buttered tray into a flat 11/4 cm (1/2-inch) thick cake.

Cookies are such a refreshing treat on hot summer days.
Total time to cook:
45 minutes

Category:
Cookies, kid’s recipe, holiday
Ingredients: Fig Spread
1/2 pound dried figs
1/2 cup pomegranate juice
1/2 cup port
1/4 cup meyer (or regular) lemon juice
Fig Cookie Dough
1 cup brown rice flour
1 cup sorghum flour
1/2 cup tapioca flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp xanthium gum
scant 1 tsp salt
1 tsp freshly ground nutmeg
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup organic cane sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla
2 tbsp molasses
Step Wise Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350F degrees.
Mix all the dry ingredients in a medium-size bowl.
Set aside.
Put the softened butter into a mixer.
Add the brown sugar and cane sugar to the butter and cream together.
Cream until well blended, scraping down the sides of the bowl a few times if needed.
Add the egg, vanilla, and molasses.
Mix until blended.
Add the dry ingredients (I did this in three parts), and mix until blended.
Split the dough into two pieces, wrap each in plastic and then refrigerate the dough for at least one hour. This is key with gluten-free doughs.
After you’ve chilled the dough, roll out half the dough to 1/4-inch thickness on a Silpat or piece of parchment paper.
Slather the fig spread over the surface of the dough, stopping just shy of the edges.
Roll out the second half of dough to roughly the same size as the first.
Lay it over the fig spread. Crimp the edges with a fork to seal in the fig spread.
Slide the baking sheet into the oven for 15 minutes, checking occasionally to make sure the dough isn’t browning too much.
Remove when the edges are just starting to get nice and golden.
Let cool for 10 minutes.
When the cookies have cooled, cut the edges off to make straight lines.
Slice the giant cookie into small squares.
