Onions, Roasted and Glazed
I've mentioned before that I could eat Onions every day!
This is one of my favorite Onion recipes.
It's a Best of the Best Recipes!
4 Sweet White Onions
Sea Salt
Freshly Ground Black Pepper
In a measuring cup, mix together :
3 TBS Orange Juice
2 TBS Olive Oil
1 TBS Balsamic Vinegar
Peel the Onions, cut them in half leaving the root end intact to keep them together during baking.
Place the Onions cut side down in a baking dish just big enough to hold them
Season them with Salt and Pepper
Pour the mixture over the Onions
Bake in a 425 degree oven for 30 minutes, basting occasionally
Serve warm or cold
I usually double or triple the recipe.
Enjoy!

Vegetarian / Vegan Friendly Gelatin in Fruit Flavors!
I've mentioned Agar Agar in a recipe for Vegetarians which is unflavored and can be used in equal proportions to replace Gelatin, which we all know is not Vegetarian.
My issue was trying to figure out how to flavor Agar Agar to replace fruit flavored Gelatins. I have recipes and basic directions, but in my research I have discovered KoJel Dessert Jel which completely replaces fruit flavored gelatins and comes in Strawberry, Cherry, Raspberry, Lime , Lemon, and Orange. It is Vegetarian and Vegan friendly.
I'll try this in my Cranberry Mousse Recipe that I make every year for Thanksgiving.
I'll also use it in the Cranberry Mold Recipe and other Gelatin Molds that I'll post on the blog.
Now I have an alternative ingredient to post in any recipe that requires Gelatin.
I do have information on using Agar Agar as a stabilizer for Whipped Cream and also for a Meringue stabilizer.
I'll post all of that information at a later date. It's quite lengthy.
Enjoy!
