I was going through some boxes of books and found a number of old cook books that were my late mothers and grand mothers. These books are printed between 1927 and 1951. They are actually older than me. not by much. As I was going through a couple of the books I found an old favorite one that my mother had marked as "DELICIOUS" and I agree.
Apple pudding
1/4 cup butter 1 cup sugar 1 egg 1/2 tsp. vanilla 1/2 tsp. nutmeg 5 medium peeled and cored and chopped apples 1/2 cup raisins 1/4 cup chopped nuts 1 cup flour 1 tsp soda 1/4 tsp salt
creme butter and salt together add egg, vanilla and mix. Add flour sifted with soda, nnutmeg and salt. Bake in 9x9 pan at 4325-350 for 45 minutes or until done...toothpick method. cut into squares and severve with sause.
Sause, 1/2 cup brown sugar 2 tablespoon flour 1 cup water 1/8 tsp vanilla 1 tsp. butter 1/8 tsp salt dash of nutmeg
Blend flourand sugar. Add water and butter, cook until smooth stiring constantly. remove from heat add vanilla, nutmeg and salt. pour over pudding.
I remember this as a kid, it seems a lot of work to produce but it is well worth it. The old recipies do not usually have any pre done ingreadiants. they take a while to do. But you simply can not buy food like this in any plastic wrapped container at your local food store. You control the quality, not some bean counter tryig to eek out the maximum profit.

Unfortunately, many many recipes go to the grave with the owner. My wife (she is the oldest granddaughter) sat down with her mother, grandmothers, and great-grandmother and wrote down recipes that they had memorized and never written down. She has been given it as a present to her younger cousins when they marry as a gift from their grandmothers who are both passed on. They love it.
I have found one recipe that I can not get to work out, it is for Sour Turnips. The recipe is much like Sour Kraut, but something is missing or the ratio is off as it doesn't taste near the same as her grandmothers.

Crappie Killer, don't you know that in most cases the angels in heaven can not cook as good as Grandma could. BCR

Sounds quite good, Bullwnkl. The apples are almost ripe.

My mom is going through the house cleaning out "old" stuff. She has a ton of cook books. I've snagged a few of them. You can tell the good ones by the number of paper scraps hanging out of them with notes and other recipes on them.
