Grandma's Vintage Recipes

This blog is for the posting of Vintage Recipes. I have inherited recipes from both my grandmothers, mother, aunts, etc over the years. I am also a cookbook collector with several old cookbooks in my possession. My goal here is to share with you older recipes that have been lost to many. I hope you will enjoy my blogs and some old memories will be revived by some of the recipes. Note:To save the vintage value of these recipes, I make no changes. You see the original recipe as written.

PINEAPPLE DELICIOUS

This is another recipe from my Indiana childhood. We always called it Pineapple Delicious!

20 graham crackers
1 stick oleo
1 cup whipped cream
1 tsp cinnamon
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 egg
8-oz can crushed pineapple, drained well

Roll crackers to fine crumbs. Put half of them in an ungreased pie pan. Cream butter, add sugar and cinnamon slowly. Add unbeaten egg. Beat mixture well. Whip cream and combine with well-drained pineapple. Add to butter and sugar mixture. Pour into the pie pan. Top with the remaining cracker crumbs. Cool in refrigerator for at least six hours before serving. May be made the day before your occasion.
