It is not until you get to the reverse of this recipe that
you find out this is a peach cobbler. I thought usually cobblers were baked
with the fruit, rather than added later. Oh well, we are assured it is
“delicious served warm”, which is good enough for me!

Lemon Sponge Pudding
Since this recipe only mentions the oven temperature as
“moderate” a search of similar recipes online reveals the temp should be 325 to
350 degrees for 35 to 45 minutes. I’m a sucker for lemon treats but not much of
a fan of pudding. Still, I think I would have to give this one a try.
Wednesday
Banana Tapioca Cream
Curious about tapioca because of the flurry of recent
recipes containing the ingredient I looked it up online. I found it is the
starch from the root of the cassava shrub, which originated in Brazil but is
now cultivated all over the planet. I usually use it to thicken soups.
Monday
Minute Tapioca Cream Recipes
These Minute Tapioca Cream recipes, cut from a magazine,
almost look like they were put together by throwing a dart at a wall of
ingredients and choosing the first few that are hit. How else can you explain something
that contains green coconut and mint jelly?
Friday
Apple Krisps
I bet this recipe was a big hit on a chilly fall day. It
would be hard to resist a scoop of ice cream on your slice of apple krisp,
despite the weather.
Wednesday
Baked Cocoa Custard
Yet another food I have not heard of. The baking instructions are interesting, calling for the
mixture filled cups to be placed in a pan of water. The “slow oven” mentioned
was usually 300 to 325 degrees for similar recipes I found online.
Monday
Tomato Relish
It seems like tomato relish has been replaced in this
country by its spicier cousin salsa, at least here in the Midwest. This relish
would be perfect to cook up and keep a in the refrigerator for picnics and
cookouts as an alternative to pickle relish.
Friday
Bread and Butter Cucumber Pickles
I prefer hot and spicy dill and polish pickles, so if I were
to prepare this recipe for sweet bread and butter pickles I would have to add
some peppers such as jalapenos. Since this recipe does not include detailed
canning instructions I included this link
that should help.
Wednesday
Raisin Cream Pie
Before coming across this recipe I had never heard of a
raisin cream pie, but it doesn’t sound bad. I have a question about the process
of making this pie that maybe one of you could explain to me. Why does it call
for mixing the egg yolks, milk, etc. with eggs?
Monday
Lemon Meringue Pie
Milk, lots of lemon, sugar and eggs. Maybe a little more
lemon, then a pie shell. It doesn’t get much simpler than a lemon meringue pie.
Friday
Apple Pie
Since this recipe does not include any instructions for
making a crust one could assume it is a crustless version of apple pie. Slap a scoop
of ice cream on a piece and you probably wouldn’t even notice.
Wednesday
The Menu
This is obviously not a recipe but a menu for a holiday
feast or a family get together. I wonder if the two sides of the card were
intended for two separate occasions or one big one. It is also possible these menus
were part of an exercise for a child. There are multiple misspellings, the
cards are numbered for some reason, and we have already found out there might have
been a Camp
Fire Girl in the house.
Monday
Pumpkin Pie
There is not much to say about this recipe, as it seems to
make a pretty standard pumpkin pie, which is just fine if you like pumpkin pie!
