Put a small lamp with a 60 watt bulb under the sheet if you have a long extension cord. [NT] - Michael in Sarasota - 5:26pm on 12/08/09

The other thing we used to do is run the sprinklers and coat the tree in a layer of ice. - Michael in Sarasota - 5:27pm on 12/08/09

I am guessing it is cardamom? [NT] - Dawn_MO - 3:33pm on 12/08/09
I think it's a green cardamom pod. Very common in Indian cooking. [NT] - Luisa_Calif - 3:40pm on 12/08/09
yup, the ladies are right - it's a green cardamom pod -- the seeds are the edible part. - cheezz - 4:49pm on 12/08/09

You know, for some reason I thought that might've been what it was... "pod" just kept popping - DawnNYS - 2:07pm on 12/09/09

17126. QUESTION about grinding Cardamom pods. Do you shell the pods and just - Luisa_Calif - 6:53pm on 12/08/09 (8)

Just grind the seeds. - judy-mass - 7:37pm on 12/08/09

Lightly crush the pods in a mortar and pestle or in a small bag with a rolling pin, enough to split - Shaun in TO - 7:39pm on 12/08/09

Thanks to both of you for the info. [NT] - Luisa_Calif - 9:16pm on 12/08/09

If you are using an electric grinder then just gring the whole thing. - Liz D - 5:10pm on 12/10/09

The shell too? I bought a grinder at a garage sale that I was going to dedicate to spices only. [NT] - Luisa_Calif - 6:25pm on 12/10/09

My master Indian cookbook says not to worry if you end up eating the pods. [NT] - MarilynFL - 12:22pm on 12/11/09

If they're not really really finely ground in an electric grinder, the pieces should cook in - Shaun in TO - 1:31pm on 12/11/09

I've asked that question. It seems it would be much stronger without pods, affecting measurement. [NT] - Curious1 - 1:02pm on 12/11/09

Not theirs, but I used to make this as a teenager. It's spongey-moist, which some people think is - Shaun in TO - 10:48pm on 12/08/09

Shaun, did yours have yeast in it? This one calls for baking powder and soda...which I goofed big - MarilynFL - 11:31pm on 12/08/09

I don't think so--I wasn't into yeast back then, just quick breads. Mine was a Cardiff family - Shaun in TO - 8:03pm on 12/09/09

Yes...you brew strong tea then add the dried fruit to it to plump, then add all - MarilynFL - 10:02pm on 12/09/09
