Apricot Tea Ring Recipe
Recipe Ingredients
DOUGH
1 cake compressed yeast, or... dry yeast
1/4 cup lukewarm water
3/4 cup milk, scalded
1/4 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1 tsp salt
1/4 cup shortening
3 cup sifted all-purpose flour - (plus mo, re as necessary)
1 egg, beaten
1 cup quaker oats, uncooked - (quick or o, ld-fashioned)
FILLING
12 oz dried apricots
2 cup water
1 tsp lemon juice
1/4 cup sugar
Recipe Preparation
For dough, soften yeast in lukewarm water. (Use warm water for dry
yeast.) Pour scalded milk over sugar, salt and shortening. Cool to
lukewarm. Stir in 1 cup flour and egg. Add softened yeast and oats.
Stir in enough more flour to make a soft dough.
Turn out on lightly floured board or canvas; knead until smooth and
satiny; about 10 minutes. Round dough into ball; place in greased
bowl; brush lightly with melted shortening. Cover and let rise in
warm place until double in size, about 1 hour.
While dough is rising, prepare filling. For filling, combine
apricots, water, lemon juice and sugar in medium-sized saucepan. Cook
over low heat, stirring occasionally until thickened. Cool.
Punch dough down; cover; let rest 10 minutes. Roll to form an
18x12-inch rectangle. Brush with melted butter; spread with filling.
Starting with long side, roll up as for jelly roll. Form into circle
on greased cooky sheet, sealed edge down. Make cuts 2/3 of way
through ring at 1-inch intervals. Turn one section to left and next
to right. Repeat around ring. [Cut edges showing a spiral of filling
will be exposed, and parallel with the work surface. --K.M.] Brush
lightly with melted shortening.
Cover; let rise in warm place until nearly double in size, about 45
minutes. Bake in preheated moderate oven (350 F.) 20 to 25 minutes.
Drizzle with confectioner's sugar frosting while still warm. Makes one
large tea ring.

Food Tips of the Week
Losing weightDrink more water. At times during a hectic day, you guess you are peckish but in truth you might only want a restorative glass of water or cranberry juice. The sensations of needing food and needing a drink are close, but one can result in a fat tummy and the alternative is ok.
Some low carbohydrate diet guidlines:
* Replace sugar with splenda. Most recipes that require sugar can be modified to make use of a sugar replacement instead. It is not exactly the same so you will have to do a bit of trial and error and it might not be perfect for every dish, but it gives very good results once you get the measurements right.
* Food labels can be misleading Watch out for food packaging that claims to be 'low carb' - check the nutritional information figures on the back of the tin or packet. Many are only marginally decreased and in some cases still higher than a competitors standard brand. In addition, beware of 'low sugar' and 'low fat' labels - 'low sugar' does not always mean 'low carb' - usually the carbs are identically the same.
Cruciferous vegetables, Wonderfoods that aid Weight loss
