"I have lost an old recipe that was on a pickling lime bag
25yrs ago. The recipe called for using white raisins in the making of the syrup.
Can you please help? Thanks so much."
"Do you have any of the old recipes that talk about how many corn cobs it take
to make so many degrees in the old cookstoves?"
"Many years ago my mother made oatmeal cookies from a recipe that
she found in a girl scout magazine. If anyone had one of these magazines from
way back, probably in the fifties, and could find this recipe I would so love to
have it. I have made many, many cookies from different oatmeal recipes and they
just aren't it. I don't know if it was American Girl magazine or maybe Girl
Scout Leader but I think it was one of them. Thanks for any help you can give
me."
"My Aunt made stuffed green bell peppers tied with string and canned them in the
40's and 50's. They were stuffed with what appeared to be a sour slaw.
Absolutely delicious. I have never found a recipe. I assume they were possibly
of German origin but cannot say for sure. She was a farm wife and Mother in
central Illinois. Can you give me a suggestion as to where I might look for a
recipe?" "About fifteen years ago, I got a recipe out of
Cosmopolitan magazine (I think) called Cheery Chowder. It had ham, cheese,
broccoli, potatoes, cream, etc.
I have lost the original recipe and wanted to know if any of your readers
remembered it. IT WAS SO GOOD! I have written to Cosmo to see if it was
archived, but haven't heard back from them. I hope someone else in web-land
happened across this recipe many years ago and was smart enough to hang on to
it. If you remember Cheery Chowder, please email me."
"My grand mother
used to prepare fresh green beans with a cereal, I think was called Ralston
Purina Cream of Wheat. This came out of the dutch/german amish area of western
Pennsylvania north of Pittsburgh."
"There once was a small chain of grocery stores
in Southern California known as Jurgensen's. They made a cookie called a
Molasses Finger. They had the taste of a ginger snap, but they were wonderfully
chewy. I haven't had much luck reproducing them. Any ideas? Thanks,
Cheri" "3 Pound Spice Cake--I don't know why it was called that. I only know
that after it was baked, the cake was very heavy! People commented on how much
it weighted. Rather it actually weighted 3 pounds in a 13x9 inch pan, I don't
know. It was one of the best cakes I ever baked. Sometime in years past, the
recipe book was lost in moving. I searched everywhere to find a recipe even
similar to it.
I don't know how to help, except to give clues: The recipe was very old. The
first time I made it was around 1964, however, I know it was older than that.
It had raisins, walnuts and maybe even dates in it. A lot of spices. It was so
heavy, it resembled a fruit cake, but was instead, a spice cake. It was very
moist. The best cake ever! I was always asked for recipes.
If I remember correctly, that was the name of it. 3 Pound Spice Cake. It was
very good with the caramel icing on top. That recipe was included with the cake
if that helps.
I would appreciate your help.
Sincerely, Judy" "My old favorites,
Carrot Cake & Roger's Cream Cheese icing recipes out of the ( Ballinger) The Joy
of Gardening Cookbook are missing. Seems someone liked them enough to remove
them. I loaned my books out. The book I had was a 2 edition that I ordered
before the printing. Please locate.

"I can not find in my files nor on the net a
recipe for Fruit Chilli Sauce(chutney). It used a lot of Tomatoes, and then
equal amounts of apples, peaches, green/red sweet peppers and onions. There was
white/cider vinegar, chilli powder, brown sugar and so on. Can you please
assist.
Thanks, Shirley"
