I love reading your recipes. As a lifelong resident of Southern Indiana (except for my college years in Central IN), and a collector of my grandmother's recipes, I really enjoy seeing what you post.

Yes, Annie, we had meals like that, too. And like you, we thought they were wonderful. One of the fun things here in Texas is the annual SPAM contest in the food pavillion at the Texas State Fair every year. It is always fun and often tasty to see all the recipes folks come up with.

It takes a few minutes for the filling to turn clear, probably 5 or 10 unless you cook too fast. I only let it cool a few minutes, less than 5. I often turn the fan over my stove on and set it under the fan for a few minutes to pull the heat out fast. You just don't want to wilt the berries.

I can remember in the late 1940's and early 1950's that we had a fair bit of spam ( or similar canned meat) meals. It would not have been out of the ordinary to be served a meal like this. Mom used to slice spam, and lightly fry it and serve it with eggs and home made fried potatoes and onions. That would be a breakfast/ brunch/ or supper.
She also made spam in small squares and made a sweet and sour sauce ( if we were lucky it had tinned pineapple chuncks) at the last minute she'd add frozen peas ( or fresh from the garden), and serve the works over rice. And we loved it! LOL, now I'd want more authentic Chinese, but then that was great.

How long did you cook the filling before it looked "clear"? Also, how long is the filling to be cooled before putting it in the pie? Thanks!

Note: You can make these cupcakes diabetic friendly by using 1 cup all-purpose flour and 2/3 cups whole-wheat flour. Substitute 1/2 cup Splenda Brown Sugar Blend for the brown sugar called for.

This spoon bread looks really tasty and I'll bet it would be great with ham. I recall having this as a kid made by my southern grandma, but I was so intent on the biscuits that I hardly paid attention to the spoon bread! I notice it's naturally gluten free, so will have to try this. Thanks, Linda!

Oh, how yummy! I finally got the handle on making a decent gluten free graham cracker pie crust. Guess what I'll be making...:-)
Thanks for the great idea! Linda
