Top with the celery, pecan, pear and apple. Slice the cranberry sauce into half-moon shapes and coat the top with these. Also place one half moon in each of the larger 'scallops' along the Bundt pan sides. (At unmolding, these will fall out and look like the fruit mold is resting on them, looks nice.) Prepare the watermelon Jello as per directions. (Blend with 1 cup boiling water, add 1 cup cold water and pour over the fruit.) Chill several hours until set. I don't like canned cranberry jelly (sauce), and hate to make them from raw cranberries. The watermelon was just sharp enough to mute the taste of the cranberries. You could add a lot more ingredients and make a larger fruit mold, but I was unsure how it was going to taste, as well as what it was going to do on unmolding. But it turned out nice and very colorful!

Sauté thinly sliced onions in your favorite medium saucepan until browned. Add 1 teaspoon pressed garlic. Stir until distributed and then add water. Add 1 teaspoon ginger, 1 tablespoon cumin, 1 tablespoon coriander, 1/2 teaspoon clove, 1/4 teaspoon methi (fenugreek), 1 teaspoon salt, to onion/garlic at last minute of sauté. Mix 2 teaspoons gram flour (chickpea flour, besan) with enough water to make a thin, smooth paste. Dribble in the chickpea flour mixture, while stirring. The sauce will thicken.

Add tofu and simmer until it absorbs some of the seasonings. Add more water if necessary. Serve with rice.

Copyright : "FATFREE Recipe collections copyrighted by Michelle Dick 1995." NOTES : Paneer is soft white 'farmer' cheese that is commonly used in India. I substituted reduced-fat White Wave tofu, and it takes the place of paneer very well. This takes about 1/2 hour to make.

Boil sugar and water with the lemon juice for a few minutes, then add the figs and simmer gently until they are soft and impregnated with the syrup, which should have thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon. Stir constantly to avoid burning. Add the aniseed, pine nuts and walnuts. Simmer gently, stirring for a few minutes longer. Remove from the heat and stir the mastic in very thoroughly. (To be properly pulverized, it must have been pounded with sugar.) Pour into clean, hot glass jars and seal as usual. * Mastic is the resinous gum of Pistacia lentiscus and is sold in Greek and Oriental stores.

Set one hour to ripen. Mix rennet into cool water and stir into milk. Cover and allow to set another hour to coagulate. Cut curds into 1/2-inch cubes and allow to rest five minutes. Stir gently for 15 minutes, keeping the curds at 86 degrees F. Pour curds into a cheesecloth-lined colander, tie the bag of curds and hang to drain for four to six hours. Slice the cheese ball in half and lay the slabs of cheese into a dish that can be covered. Sprinkle all the surfaces with coarse salt, cover and allow to set at room temperature for 24 hours. After 24 hours, salt all the surfaces with more coarse salt and let it rest for two hours. Place the cheese in a covered dish and refrigerate for five to seven days. Use within two weeks or freeze for future use. The cheese will keep at room temperature for months if marinated in oil. MARINATED FETA CHEESE Mild feta cheese (stronger cheese may be used) Jars with lids Olive, canola or soybean oil Your choice of herbs (use aromatic herbs for best flavor) Cut or break the cheese into smaller pieces, about 1 to 1 1/2 inches. Use a clean jar that has a tight-fitting lid. Layer the herbs first, then the cheese. Repeat until the jar is full. Leave abut 1/2 inch of space at the top. Pour oil over the cheese and herbs, filling the jar until the mixture is completely covered with oil. Place the marinated feta on a cupboard or shelf. Refrigeration is not necessary as long as the cheese is completely covered with oil. Air won't be able to get in, and the cheese won't mold. Enjoy it straight out of the jar or crumble into your favorite salad. The cheese gets better with age. Some herbs to consider are rosemary, thyme, bay leaves, marjoram, sun- dried tomatoes, garlic cloves, dried hot peppers, peppercorns, basil, oregano or onions. My personal favorite combination is rosemary, basil and garlic.
