Janet,

I am in the midst of making your almond macaroons wth the Pesach sucraloe
sweetener. Unfortunately I accidentally deleted the recipe adn
immediately jotted down my memeory and wel will see how it turns out. I
made one change as I had no vanilla KLP so I added powdered ginger.

Coul dyou eithe r post here or email me the recipe so I can have it in my
files as I will, surely not have remembered all the details now, will not
by next year(or even next week:-)

Have a wonderful Pesach to you and to all to whom it applies on this list.

Wendy-so happy not to be cooking for the Seder anymore

Almond Macaroons

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 48 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : cookies

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 1/2 cups blanched almonds
1 cup Splenda
1/4 tsp salt

Peel the macaroons from the parchment and store them in an airtight

Thanks. I did get therecipe from Susan who found it on line for me. I
made the, as Imentioned, by memory! I used pre-ground almonds that I had
bought for the holiday, findign that 1 1/2C of blanched almonds weighed 9
ounces(trust Joy of Cooking wedding present 48 ears ago:-) I had no
vanilla KLP so added powdered ginger fo rflavor. I foudn the dough kid of
hard, so I measured adn kind of hand rolled them out of the measuring
spoon. They didn't spread so I had kid of rsmall round balls, with nice
flavor, but crumbly and slightly gritty. I wonder if the already ground
alonds might benefit from further grinding in the FP. As I mentioned in
my earlier post I migh try larger egg whites next time. What are your
thoughts?

They taste wonderful and I am enjoing thembut definitely not for
company:-)

These are really good from Myra

Myra's Coconut-Almond Macaroons

4 egg whites
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup Splenda (or equivalent AS)
1/2 cup finely ground, blanched almonds
2 cups shredded, unsweetened coconut

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

In a mixing bowl, whip the egg whites, salt and vanilla until frothy, then,
as you keep whipping, slowly pour in the Splenda. Whip until stiff peaks
form - but not dried out. Fold in the almonds and coconut.

Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Drop the macaroon batter by
rounded tablespoons about 1/2-1 inch apart on the parchment (macaroons don't
rise or spread, so you can put them close together).

Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until golden brown.

Turn off the oven heat, open the door slightly, and let the macaroons sit in
the oven until cool - this keeps the moisture content down.

Store in an airtight container.

Makes about 2 dozen macaroons, about 1.67 carbs each. If you make this
recipe with Splenda tablets instead of bulk, the carb count drops down to
about .8 carb each.

*If the coconut a bit dry starting out, put in a bowl and sprinkle about 1
TBS water over it and let set in fridge for 1/2 hour or so before using.

packets)
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
4 tablespoons coconut milk -- leche do coco

I don't know if Raley's Supermarket or Bel Air is native to CA, and not in
your area, but they always have it for around 2.50 a bag.

I don't believe Sam's carries it. One of the local supermarkets has a
bulk foods aisle and I can find it there. Health food stores where they
sell bulk foods is also a good place to get it.

I think there is a Asian grocery near me that will likely carry it..the only
health food store near me is a co-op and you have to be a member for like
300 bucks a year and they do the bulk bins thing which I detest cause I'm a
germaphobe..lol
