  HI,
  I am looking for a recipe for apple custard pie, I lost the one I had. 
  I have found several others but they aren't like the one I had. The one 
  I had called for the pie crust to be pre-baked and then you added your 
  filling.  The filling consisted of concentrated apple juice, slices of 
  apples, I think sour cream and/or cream cheese, the apple juice was used 
  to simmer the apples in and you lined the crust with the apples and then 
  added the filling which also had apple juice added in it. You then topped 
  it off with more apple slices around the top of it. I believe the original 
  recipe came from one of the magazines like Woman's Day, Good Housekeeping, 
  or one of those types of magazines.  If you are able to find this recipe I 
  would really appreciate it, seems I have looked for it forever and haven't 
  had any luck.  

  Thank you,

  Peggy

  I am looking for a recipe for lemon sherbet that is made in an 
  ice cream maker and is made with buttermilk.  I clipped it from 
  (I believe) a magazine years ago but never made it.  I can't find 
  it now.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

Hello Mary Lou,

Below are two, one for the freezer and one for an ice-cream maker.

  Buttermilk Lemon Sherbet

  4 cups buttermilk
  1 cup sugar
  2/3 cup lemon juice.
  sprigs of mint
  thin slices of lemon

  In a bowl combine 4 cups buttermilk, 1 cup sugar, and 2/3 cup lemon juice.
  Transfer the mixture to a freezer tray and freeze it in the freezing
  compartment of the refrigerator, stirring several times to break up the icy
  lumps, for 6 hours.  Scoop the sherbet into chilled glasses and garnish it
  with sprigs of mint and thin slices of lemon.  Serves 6.
  -------------------------------------------------
  Double-Lemon Sherbet

  Prep And Cook Time: About 1 hour, plus at least 2 hours to freeze

  Notes: This sherbet comes from Linda Wisner of Portland. It has a wonderful 
  floral quality if made with lemon verbena and Meyer lemons (available in 
  some farmers' markets), but it's also very good made with lemon grass and 
  regular lemons. Up to an hour before serving, scoop sherbet, set scoops in 
  a single layer in a cold metal pan, and freeze.

  Makes: 1 quart; 8 servings

  2 1/2 ounces fresh lemon grass (about 2 stalks) or 2/3 cup lightly packed lemon verbena leaves, rinsed
  1 cup sugar
  1 1/2 tablespoons grated lemon peel
  1/3 cup lemon juice
  1 1/3 cups buttermilk
  2/3 cup half-and-half (light cream)

  1. Trim and discard root ends and tough tops from lemon grass; remove 
     and discard tough outer layers. Coarsely chop tender inner stalks. 
  2. In a 2- to 3-quart pan over high heat, bring 2/3 cup water to a boil. 
     Stir in lemon grass, remove from heat, and let stand for 15 minutes. 
     Press through a fine strainer set over a bowl, then return liquid to 
     pan; discard lemon grass.
  3. Add sugar to lemon grass water and stir often over high heat just until
     dissolved, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in lemon peel and 
     juice. Nest pan in a bowl of ice water and stir often until mixture is 
     cold, about 10 minutes. Stir in buttermilk and half-and-half.
  4. Pour mixture into an ice cream maker (1-qt. or larger capacity) and 
     freeze according to manufacturer's directions until dasher is hard to 
     turn or machine stops. Package airtight and freeze until firm enough to 
     scoop, at least 2 hours or up to 2 weeks.

Hi Betty,

Pulled sugar is what pastry chefs use to make those fancy creations that you sometimes see on top of cakes. Below is a basic pulled sugar recipe. Working with pulled sugar is not easy to do. It takes a little training and practice. See these websites:

Tirell

Starchefs

Sugarflowers

There are more recipes on those websites.

Phaed

  Basic recipe

  1 kg cube sugar
  250 gr glucose
  400 ml water
  148°C (temperature of syrup)

  - In a pot, add sugar and water. Bring to boil and add the glucose. During 
  the cooking period, never stir the mixture to avoid crystallization. When 
  you reach 148°C, immerse the pot in cool water and make sure that no water 
  falls inside. Remove and let stand from 1 to 2 minutes.

  - Pour the mixture on a lightly greased marble slab, add food coloring 
  diluted in 94% proof alcohol. When the sugar begin to harden around the 
  edge, bring it toward the center so that the cooling will be even. When 
  the sugar is firm enough, gloss it 20 to 30 times. Form into a ball and 
  keep it under a source of heat, or a sugar lamp. It is now ready to be 
  worked.

Hi Ellen,

This site has some tips on using sorghum flour:

Sorghum Flour

I can locate "sorghum flour bread recipes" rather quickly. All I have to do is go to a search engine and type in: " 'sorghum flour' bread recipes", and the search engine will give me dozens of websites with those words on them, usually recipes. This doesn't take too much time, and it's how I find many of the recipes that I locate for people. If someone wants egg-free sorghum flour recipes, then I can usually find some by just adding "egg-free" to the key words.

But in your case, where you want egg-free, rice-free, gluten-free, corn-free, soy-free, etc, then there is a problem. Whatever recipes there are like that won't have "egg-free, rice-free, gluten-free, corn-free, soy-free" on the web page in so many words. So, the only way to find these would be by checking each recipe to see whether it has those ingredients. I just don't have the time for that. I will, however, tell you how to do it yourself.

1) Go to https://www.google.com

2) In the Search box, type: "sorghum flour" bread recipe

3) Click on Search

4) Visit each site that Google lists for you until you find what you want.

5) Repeat the process with: "sorghum flour" muffin recipe and "sorghum flour" pancake recipe.

6) Since sorghum flour is also known as milo, you will probably want to do this again using "milo" instead of "sorghum flour" if you don't find what you want the first way.

Good luck!
