AVACADO DRESSING

Another recipe from my late mom's recipe collections. As you can see, this recipe along with several others were scotch-taped in a "WOOLWORTH'S" spiral notebook. This recipe was posted in the local newspaper by a lady from Bloomington, Indiana. Having grown up in Southern Indiana and spending many years of my life in New Mexico and Texas I had to laugh at that last sentence.

ANNA'S VINEGAR PIE

Evidently vinegar pie was a popular item in my late mom's day. I found six different recipe clippings taped on one page in a spiral notebook of hers. Anna was a family friend and mom had written her name on this recipe.

VINEGAR PIE

I found this in an old spiral notebook of my late mother's. She had scotch-taped several recipes in this old book. This is one of several vinegar pie recipes. They appear to be from the local Bloomington, Indiana newspaper many years ago.

This is another find from my late mother's shoebox recipe collection.

3 egg yolks, save whites for another use

Scald milk. In the top of a double boiler pan, mix together the flour, salt, and sugar. Slowly add the scalded milk to the flour mixture, stirring constantly until smooth. Cook slowly in the double boiler until smooth and thick, about 15 minutes. Beat egg yolks slightly and add a small amount of the hot mixture to them and beat constantly till smooth. Quickly add the egg mixture to the double boiler and stir constantly. Cook about 3 minutes more. Add the butter and vanilla; stir in to blend well. Remove top of double boiler from the stove.
