Daily Holidays -April 5

A HoPpY EaStEr to All......

National Carmel Day It’s National Caramel Day! Americans began making sugary syrups in the 1600s, but the delicious chewy caramel we know and love today was a more recent innovation. Caramel candy emerged during the 18th century and quickly became one of the most popular sweets on the market. In fact, Milton Hershey’s first business was the Lancaster Caramel Company!

Caramel is made with butter, brown and white sugar, milk or cream, and vanilla. It is usually enjoyed as an ice cream topping, a candy filling, or on its own. You can also find caramel flavored puddings, popcorn, desserts, and coffee.

To celebrate National Caramel Day, enjoy some of your favorite caramel candies or make a batch of homemade caramel! http://www.punchbowl.com/holidays/national-caramel-day

National Raisin and Spice Bar
 Day We're sure you remember that wonderful and comforting smell of raisin and spice bar from the kitchen. Well, today, on April 5, it is National Raising and Spice Bar Day. This is a great day to make your own bars.
There are many variations of recipes you can use for making raisin and spice bars. Some of them date back many years. But the most common is a bar made with cinnamon, allspice, raisins and chopped pecans or walnuts.

If you're eager to make your own bars, combine 1 cup of raising with 2 cups of water. Bring them to boil and cook for 10 minutes. Remove raisins from heat and add 1 tsp of baking soda.

Cream 1 cup of sugar and 1/2 cup of butter in mixing bowl, add an egg and 1/2 tsp of salt. Combine 1 3/4 cups of flour and spices (cinnamon, vanilla, nutmeg, ground cloves), stir with raisins and egg mixture. Bake batter in a greased pan for 35 minutes in the oven preheated to 350 degrees.

Cool down the cake and cut it into bars. You will have 32 tasty raisin and spice bars perfect to celebrate today's holiday. https://anydayguide.com/calendar/2901

National Deep Dish Pizza Day Pizza lovers far and wide will be making the most of Deep Dish Pizza Day. This is your holiday! But first, let us thank Pizzeria Uno’s founder Ike Sewell, without whom this day wouldn’t exist. He is credited with creating the spectacular deep dish pizza in 1943 in Chicago. This wonderfully tasty pizza, also known as Chicago-style pizza, is characterised by a superb buttery crust that can be as high as 3 inches tall, along with generous amounts of flavoursome sauce, toppings and cheese. On this day, get together with friends or family to visit your favourite pizza restaurant and enjoy a wonderful slice (or more) of cheesy goodness.

Don’t fret if you can’t get the exact deep dish pizza – a pan style pizza, thick crusted pizza or pretty much any delicious pizza will do. Better yet, use this day to finally create that perfect pizza you’ve always dreamed of making, and invite others over to share it with you! https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/deep-dish-pizza-day/
