Vanilla Infused Couscous Pudding
Serves 6 / Prep time: 20 minutes / Cook time: 20 minutes
Couscous replaces the rice in this dish, creating a slightly different taste and a unique texture in this family favorite. The vanilla bean adds an intense flavor and delightful small vanilla seeds to the pudding, but you can substitute extract if you do not have beans. Look for vanilla beans in the baking section of your local grocery store.

Warm Honeyed Bread Pudding
Serves 6 / Prep time: 15 minutes, plus 3 hours soaking time / Cook time: 40 minutes
Bread pudding, or hasty pudding, is similar to a tender French toast that can be sliced into large pieces.

1½ cups plain rice milk
2 large eggs
2 large egg whites
¼ cup honey
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
6 cups cubed white bread
Butter for greasing the baking
“Strange Fruit” by Billie Holiday conveys the inhumane, gory lynchings of African-Americans in the American South, and how this highly unnatural act had entrenched itself into the society and culture of the South, almost as if it were an agricultural crop. Although the song did not originate from Holiday, her first performance of it in 1939 in New York City and successive recording of the song became highly popular for their emotional power (“Strange fruit,” 2017). The lyrics in the song highlight the contrast between the natural beauty and apparent sophistication of the agricultural South with the brutal violence of lynchings. Holiday communicates these rather disturbing lyrics through a peculiarly serene vocal delivery, accompanied by a hymn-like
Leave it for 5-10 minutes and wash it with cool water. If you want you can even add honey to the cold milk for moisturizing purpose.
Transfer to the airfryer, garnish with a little bit of rosemary and cook at 360F for 15 minutes.
Put mixture in a greased 8 by 4 inch loaf pan and bake for 30 minutes. Makes 20 servings.
Adding 1/4 cup of sugar once the water is boiling and stiring until it dissolves completly.
7. Using the stirring wire, stir the mixture until the solute completely dissolves. Turn the heat source off, and allow the solution to cool.
I prefer vanilla but as I stated before you are able to change it to whatever your taste buds desire. The ice cream needs to be softened, you can either let it set out for a few hours or cook it in the microwave for a few minutes. Once your ice cream is nice and soft spread it evenly over your crust using a large spoon. To help smooth out the ice cream better you can run the spoon under warm water. I have seen people use their hands/fingers to spread the ice cream, this is fine, but you could risk the chance of getting frost bit so be sure to run your hands under warm water ever so often to prevent this. When you have finished smoothing out the ice cream, place the pan in the freezer just until it firms back up a
Once the egg whites are at medium peaks, remove the bowl from the mixer and sift over the flour mixture a little at a time as you fold it together. When completely combined, transfer to a 10-inch ungreased angel food cake pan. Transfer to the oven and bake for 35 minutes.
Prepare the instant pudding. Mix the pudding mix and 2 cups of cold milk in a medium bowl. Be sure to get all the pudding from the bottom of the bowl. Set aside and allow forming.
The first step is to boil the milk with sugar, cinnamon, orange, and lemon peels

You can dry vanilla beans simply by leaving them in a location with moving air for a few weeks. To dry them faster than that, you can place them in an oven set to a low temperature. Vanilla beans can be dried in an hour by heating them in an oven set to 150 degrees. The beans can then be placed in a spice or coffee grinder and ground to powder.
Third, grab the left edge of the Kool-Aid packet between your thumb and index finger. With your other hand, begin peeling the upper-left corner until the entire top of the envelope is removed. Next, dump the contents of the envelope into the pitcher. Notice how the powder floats before settling on the bottom of the pitcher. Then, take the measuring cup and scoop two cups of sugar into the pitcher as well. At this point, adding the water is a crucial step. Place the pitcher under the water faucet and slowly turn on the cold water. If the water is turned on too quickly, powder will fly all over when the initial gusts of water hit. After the pitcher is filled within two inches of the top, turn the water off and get prepared to stir. With the wooden spoon submersed three-quarters of the way in the liquid, vigorously stir in a clockwise motion until all of the powder is dissolved.
Milk usually can be pasteurized in three ways: 1) Low Temperature Holding (LTH) in which milk is heated at 63 ֯ C for 30 minutes. 2) High Temperature Short Time (HTST) in which
Once the berry mixture has boiled, pour the sugar and pectin mixture into the pot. Using the wooden spoon, immediately start to stir the jam and continue to stir until all the sugar is dissolved. This may take a few minutes. Once the sugar is all stirred in well, place the lid back on and let the jam re-boil, stirring occasionally. This should take about 10-15 minutes. Make sure to keep an eye on it as it will boil out of the pot if you are not paying attention.
