Repost - Nancy Apples Recipe

I have NO idea why this is showing the recipe two times in my blog. Doesn't look like that here, where I am posting it.

This is really hard to read! I don't know if I got it right or not.

Layer 4 cups of sliced apples in the bottom of a greased baking dish. Sprinkle with 1 Tablespoon lemon juice.

Combine1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup sifted flour, and 1/3 cup butter.

Sprinkle this over top of apples and bake in a 350 degree oven for 40 minutes (or a 375 degree oven for 30 to 35 minutes).

----------------------

It looks like there are 3 recipes going on here! There are 2 on the front, and another crumb mixture on the back (no picture). I used the crumb mixture on the back, since I was sure of what it said :)

Looks like Grammy was trying out different mixtures.

Repost - Meringue Recipe

Meringue

3 egg whites

3/4 c. sugar

1/2 tsp. vanilla

Beat egg whites until almost stiff. Gradually add sugar, and then vanilla, and continue beating until peaks stand up.

Spoon into well-greased pie plate, being sure that the batter touches the sides at all points.

Bake for about 40 minutes in a 300 degree oven.

Lin '85

I bake this amount in an 8 inch Pyrex pie plate for four servings.

Meringue is done when the bottom is light and brown.

______________________________________

This recipe is from "Lin '85" Again, I don't know who Lin is, but my sister says she remembers that name from somewhere, maybe I'll find out who she is sometime.

I don't really know what to do with a Meringue, I just thought of it for toppings on pies, or as small cookie type meringues, but not ever as a large one like this.

Repost - Reception Punch Recipe

I love punch, but rarely get to have it. Maybe I'll take some to our annual cookie baking day!

Reception Punch

1 can (6 ounces) frozen orange juice concentrate

1 can (6 ounces) frozen lemonade concentrate

1 can (12 ounces) apricot nectar

1 #2 can (2 1/4 cups) pineapple juice

1 quart pale dry ginger ale

Add water to concentrates as directed on cans. Combine with apricot nectar and pineapple juice. Chill. Add ginger ale before serving.

Makes 4o servings.

---------------------------------------------------

This is not Grammy's handwriting, there is no note about whose recipe this is. This is making me think I should keep good records of where I find all my recipes.

I made this last year, or maybe the year before that?, but I couldn't find apricot nectar. I'll have to try again.

Grammy ALWAYS had ginger ale. If it wasn't for her I probably wouldn't know what ginger ale was. I thought of that because my 13 year old asked me recently what ginger ale was. I didn't know what to tell her, but was surprised that she didn't know.

This would be good to make for Thanksgiving dinner.

Repost - Crab Salad Stuffed Avocado

A fancy dish for the holidays.

I do remember Gram's fondness of Worcestershire sauce. I still don't know the proper way to pronounce it though!

Crab Salad Stuffed Avocado

2 ripe avocados chilled
1 lb. backfin crabmeat

Dressing:
1/2 c. salad dressing
1/2 c. finely chopped celery
1/4 c. finely chopped pimiento
2 tsp. lemon juice
dash Tabasco
1/8 tsp Worcestershire Sauce


Halve avocado lengthwise - remove pits and peel, sprinkle with lemon juice and salt. Arrange each half on bed of greens. Fill with crab meat, top with dressing.

I'm gluten free, along with my kids. This recipe looks gluten free--you would just have to watch the worcestershire sauce--I get Lea and Perrins. (Always read labels! Don't take my word for it.)

I've been thinking about trying avocado because I hear it is so healthy. Crab salad with avocado sounds really good, or it could even be chicken salad with avocado to make it a less expensive dish.
