Make these on Easter Eve, right before bedtime for the kiddies. Preheat the oven to 300-this is VERY important! Read the corresponding Bible passage while adding the necessary ingredients. Ingredients:
1 cup whole pecans, in a plastic baggie |
1 teaspoon vinegar |
3 egg whites |
1 pinch salt |
1 cup sugar |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees-you MUST do it now. Also, gather a cooking mallet, kitchen mixer, masking tape and Bible. 2. Read John 19:1-3 ~ Jesus was beaten for our sins; beat the nuts with a cooking mallet; set aside. 3. Read John 19:28-30 - Jesus drank something like vinegar (gall), sniff the fragrance, dip finger in and taste, too; place the vinegar in a mixing bowl. 4. Read John 10:10-11 - Egg whites symbolize Jesus' holy, innocent life; add whites to the bowl with the vinegar. 5. Read Luke 23:27 - the bitter tears of the women; taste a few grains, remember your own sins; add the salt to the bowl. 6. Read Psalm 34:8 and John 3:16 - Sweet salvation! Taste and see; add to the bowl. 7. Crank up the mixer and let it go while you read from Isaiah 1:18 and John 3:1-3; let the mixer go for about 12-15 MINUTES; this needs to be VERY stiff! 8. Read Matthew 27:57-60 - Fold the nuts into the egg-sugar mixture; this symbolizes the rocks in the garden. 9. Using a scoop or knife & spoon, drop by spoon into mounds (to resemble a rocky tomb); put into the oven and turn it OFF! 10. Read Matthew 27:65-66 - The tomb is sealed; use two pieces of tape (5-6 inches long) to seal the door edges (symbolically). 11. Read John 16:20 & 22 - Consider these passages, then go to bed! 12. NEXT MORNING: Read Matthew 28:1-9 - Jesus is risen! Behold-the empty tomb! Unseal the oven door, take out the cookies, break or bite one in half - it should be hollow inside-empty-just like the Tomb! 13. He is risen! He is risen indeed! Hallelujah! |
