Once a Month Ordering
A NEW service I am providing is “Once a Month Ordering”. Wildtree has made many changes due to a new computer system and I am now able to set up virtual tastings that allow you to order online but connected to a Tasting. If you go to www.mywildtree.com/RobinStuessi and click on 'SHOP', then click on 'SHOP NOW' next to 'Once a Month Ordering'. Your order will become part of my tasting party (you can select “ship to host” to have your order come to me for the discounted party rate of $5.50, or have it direct shipped to you at regular web rates). The October monthly specials will apply (see below). All of our NEW August 1st products are available under the “new releases” tab in the online catalog. This virtual tasting will close on October 14th.

Pumpkin Trifle Recipe

This is the recipe for the Pumpkin Trifle I made at the Freezer Meal Workshop.  It was yummy!!

Pumpkin Trifle 
adapted from a recipe by Patricia B. from Indiantown, FL
Serves 6  
1 package Wildtree Pumpkin Quick Bread, prepared according to package directions 
2 T Wildtree Pumpkin Cheesecake Blend
1 jar caramel sauce 
1 can whipped cream 
10 ginger snap cookies (crushed)

Mix pumpkin cheesecake blend with whipped cream. Layer pumpkin bread, whipped cream, and caramel sauce in small individual glasses or a trifle dish. Top with whipped cream and drizzle caramel sauce on top.  Sprinkle crushed ginger snaps on top.

 
I made whip cream (use 2-16oz cartons of whipping cream-I found 1 was not enough) and caramel sauce (make 1/2 the caramel sauce recipe below) from scratch so I was guaranteed to have no HFCS or other unpronounceable ingredients! 

Caramel Sauce  (from Ina Garten)

1 1/2 cups sugar 

1/3 cup water 

1 1/4 cups heavy cream 


1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Direction 

Mix the water and sugar in a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan. Cook over low heat for 5 to 10 minutes, until the sugar dissolves. Do not stir. Increase the heat to medium and boil uncovered until the sugar turns a warm chestnut brown, about 5 to 7 minutes, gently swirling the pan to stir the mixture. Be careful – the mixture is extremely hot! Watch the mixture very carefully at the end, as it will go from caramel to burnt very quickly. Turn off the heat. Stand back to avoid splattering and slowly add the cream and vanilla. Don't worry - the cream will bubble violently and the caramel will solidify.

Simmer over low heat, stirring constantly, until the caramel dissolves and the sauce is smooth, about 2 minutes. Allow to cool to room temperature, at least 4 hours. It will thicken as it sits.
