| 1394.27 | How about a cookbook instead?? | STEREO::WHITCOMB | | Mon Jan 04 1988 16:48 | 12 |
| I don't have any Finnish recipes myself, but I have an alternate
suggestion. I was reading the Jessica's Biscuit cookbook mailorder
catalog and they sell a cookbook called, "Classic Scandinavian
Cooking", which features more than 200 easy-to-prepare recipes from
Sweden, Norway, Denmark, FINLAND and Iceland. They advertise it as
being "back in print", "revised and updated", and "rich with local
history, anecdotes and folklore."
If you don't find any recipes through this file, you might want
to pick up a copy!

| 1394.18 | Homemade Blueberry Soup | WITNES::MACONE | It's the story of a man named Brady | Mon Nov 14 1988 14:09 | 16 |
| Linda,
Nobody that I know has a "recipe" for Blueberry Soup. But, here's
how we make it. Throw your blueberries in a pot. Blueberries can
e either fresh or frozen, though fresh always tastes better. Cover
the blueberries with water -- just enough water so that you can
begin to see the water under the blueberries. Depending on the
taste of the blueberries, you may want to add a tad of sugar. Heat
until the bubbling and the blueberries are starting to loose their
perfect round form. Add 1-2 T of cornstarch or potato starch,
depending on how many blueberries you have. Continue to heat until
the mixture turns from cloudy to clear.
Best when served over Rice Pudding.
-Nancy
