| GRANDMA LIL'S CARMEL CORN This is so yummy 5 qts. popped corn 1/2 tsp salt 1 Cup butter or margarine (Grandma always used REAL butter) 2 Cups brown sugar 1/2 Cup dark brown syrup 1/2 tsp baking soda Mix together salt, butter, brown sugar and dark syrup. Boil together 5 minutes. Mix in soda. Pour over popped corn and place in a very slow oven - 250 for 1 hour. Stir every 15 minutes. SEE'S FUDGE Donna makes this every Christmas and it is the BEST Heavy Bottom Pan: 2 Cups Sugar 2/3 Cup evaporated milk 10 Large marshmallows (my granddaughter Rileigh always called these smellows) In bowl: 1 Cup Chopped nuts 1 Cube butter (only real butter) 1 tsp vanilla 6 oz chocolate chips (3/4 cup) Bring pan ingredients to a rolling boil. Boil EXACTLY 7 minutes. BE ACCURATE ON THE TIME. Pour over contents in bowl and blend well until smooth. Pour into lightly greased foil lined 8 x 9 inch pan. Cool. Score and cut after removing candy from the foil. Makes 24 pieces. SOUTH DAKOTA SALAD (It is really called Grandma Lil's Rotary Salad) This is a standard fixture on the table for Thanksgiving and Christmas. DELICIOUS 1 Can Cherry Pie Filling 1 Large Can Crushed pineapple (drained) 1 Can sweetened condensed milk 1 Large carton cool whip 1/2 Cup chopped nuts Mix Cool Whip and milk, add the remaining ingredients. Better when made the night before. PEA SALAD (Boy does Dad love this) I always made sure that I made this whenever Dad came to the house for lunch or dinner. I always made enough so that I would HAVE to send some home with him. It never failed to bring a phone call from Dad telling me how good that pea salad was and how much he liked it. 1 Large package of frozen peas 1/2 lb of mild cheddar cheese cut into 1 inch cubes 1 Hard boiled egg (Pat would have eaten this if I would have left the egg out) 1/4 chopped onion 1/2 to 1 cup mayonnaise with a squeeze of mustard's Mix together the mayonnaise and mustard until creamy. Pour over other ingredients. Chill. You can always add more cheese or eggs if you want. My son-in-law Brian told his mother how good my pea salad was. One year for Rileigh's birthday I took this salad to Merced. I decided to make it a little different and put more sour cream than mayo. Brian's mom was at the party and she said "I can hardly wait to taste this, Brian has told me how good it is". Well, it wasn't all that good with the sour cream. I have never again ever changed from the original recipe. Why mess with a good thing. PASTA SALAD This always brings raves whenever I serve it at home or at a potluck 1 lb pasta cooked and drained 6 cups of assorted veggies such as carrots, celery, broccoli, cauliflower. (cut veggies into bite size pieces.) 1 bottle of Zesty Italian Dressing Cool pasta. Mix veggies with pasta. Pour dressing and toss. It tastes best if it is cooled for an hour or more. I have tried making my own Italian dressing but I always end up liking the salad with the Zesty Italian Dressing best. ENJOY MARSHMALLOW CRISPY TREATS Everyone makes these but let me tell you, Mom and Donna's are THE BEST you have ever tasted! 1/4 Cup butter (use only REAL butter) 1 101/2 oz bag (6 cups) marshmallows 6 Cups Rice Krispie Cereal Melt butter in 3 quart saucepan over LOW heat. Add marshmallows, stir until melted and well blended. Remove from heat. Add cereal. Press into 13 x 9 inch baking pan, cut into squares. ENJOY PAT'S PIE CRUST 3 1/3 Cup Flour 1 1/2 Cup Butter Flavor Crisco 1/4 Cup COLD water 1 tsp salt Mix well, Roll Out. Remember, pie crust needs to be cold. If it gets too warm, just put it in the refrigerator for a few minutes. Easy to work with. Also, work with it as little as possible. The more you work with it, the tougher it is. GRANDMA LIL'S BANANA CREAM PIE Put a layer of bananas in the bottom of the crust. Next a layer of cool whip, more bananas and last cover with cool whip. Sprinkle with nuts on top. Put in refrigerator for a few hours then serve. This one is SOOOO easy and is really delicious. FRUIT PIZZA PIE 1 8 oz package Sugar Cookies 1 8 oz package cream cheese whipped 1 TAB sugar Assorted fruit fresh or canned. If using canned, be sure to drain well. Cut cookie dough into 1/8 inch slices. Place in 14 inch pizza pan - overlap pieces to seal. Bake 375 for 10 - 12 minutes. Cool. Spread cream cheese on cooled cookie crust and top with fruit. Sprinkle with sugar. |
