Welcome
Hi Everybody,Spring appears to have sprung here in Peterborough, and we are now heading towards summer. Some days have been quite warm with temperatures into the mid twenties Celsius, however, we are still experiencing the odd cool day, so it's not quite barbeque season yet, but almost.
In this issue, you will find an old-time recipe for making "Mystery Pie." How can you not try a pie with a name like that? It's actually easy to make, very good tasting and well worth trying, and perfect for serving at an evening's get-together with friends.
Also, you will find links to some new recipe pages that feature vintage French and German dessert recipes. Thank you for visiting my site.
Till next month,
Don

This month I'm featuring an old-fashioned recipe for what Grandma called a mystery pie. Fresh fruits were only available in the late summer or fall in Grandma's day. So, preserves and dried fruits were often used to make pies at other times of the year. The "mystery pie" calls for jelly and jam, and its flavor was dependent on the available flavors of the preserves used. Serve the pie to your loved ones and have them guess its flavor.These old-fashioned pie recipe is taken from "Dishes & Beverages of the Old South" by Martha McCulloch-Williams, 1913.
Mystery Pie Recipe
Beat separately very light, the yolks and whites of four eggs. Beat with the yolks a cup and a half of sugar, three heaping tablespoonfuls of butter, two teaspoonfuls mixed spices, either beaten or powdered fine, one cup of tart dark jelly, one cup blackberry jam, and one cup sweet milk. Add last of all the egg whites, mix in well, then pour in (two) pie pans lined with rich paste, and bake until firm.More Old-Fashioned Dessert Recipes
