Subject: RE: 1930's-1950's frozen dessert
Hello,
Back in the late 40's when I was a little girl in the Pacific Northwest my mom
made this frozen dessert. That was back when our 1938 Hotpoint refrigerator was
the only fridge in the house. It came with the metal ice cube trays. Mom used
the trays for freezing the dessert. I still have that Hotpoint, it still runs,
it lives in the garage and holds pop, produce, cheeses, etc.
Ingredients as I remember them: cream cheese, probably some whipping cream,
maraschino cherries, canned pineapple diced. Maybe it had some sweetened condensed
milk. Maybe Mom got the recipe from her mom who got it from her mom. Our family
through the generations has a habit of passing them on.
couldn't wait for the stuff to freeze, it tasted so good I used to sneak a spoon
full or two before it was completely frozen. I don't recall my mother serving it
after about 1955 as we had a chest freezer by then that had lots of other desserts in it.
Sincerely, Elizabeth

She SOLD it? That's a capital offense! She should get you another copy.
There are used copies for sale on the Internet. That's where I got mine.

Baking Powder Biscuits
2 c. flour
1 tsp. salt
2 tbsp. sugar
4 tsp. baking powder
2 tbsp. shortening
1/2 c. milk
Sift flour, salt, sugar and baking powder into a bowl. Cut in shortening.
Add milk, a little at a time, to make a stiff dough. Turn out on a floured board.
Sprinkle flour over the top if sticky and pat into a circle about 1 inch thick.
Cut into rounds with a biscuit cutter dipped in flour. Place in a greased pan;
bake in a 400 degree oven for 15 to 20 minutes.

Baking Powder Biscuits
1/3 c. shortening
1 3/4 c. Gold Medal all-purpose flour
2 1/2 tsp. baking powder
3/4 tsp. salt
3/4 c. milk
Heat oven to 450 degrees. Cut shortening into flour, baking powder and salt
with pastry blender until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Stir in just enough
milk so dough leaves side of bowl and rounds up into a ball. (Too much milk
makes dough sticky; not enough milk makes biscuits dry). Turn dough onto lightly
floured surface. Knead lightly 10 times. Roll or pat 1/2 inch thick. Cut with
floured 2-inch biscuit cutter. Place on ungreased cookie sheet about 1 inch apart
for crusty sides, touching for soft sides. Bake until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes.
Immediately remove from cookie sheet. Makes about 1 dozen biscuits. Butter while
hot & serve with sorghum molasses.

Boerewors Recipe
Ingredients
2 kg (4.4 lb) prime Beef
1 kg (2.2 lb) Pork
20 g (50 ml or 10 tsp) Coriander
2 ml (1/2 tsp) ground Cloves
2 ml (1/2 tsp) ground Nutmeg
30 g (25 ml or 5 tsp) fine Salt
5 ml (1 tsp) freshly ground Black Pepper
500 g (±1 lb) Bacon
100 ml Vinegar
Casing (Pork casing is good)
Preparing The Coriander (15ml produces 5ml)
Place in dry pan, heat and stir until light brown.
Grind, sieve to remove husk. Grind remainder to a fine powder. (A plastic food storage bag
and a rolling pin works well. Recently I've been using an old coffee grinder.)
Making The Boerewors
Cut meat into approximately 25mm (1 inch) cubes.
Let the cubed meat stand for a while to allow excess blood to drain.
Cut bacon into small pieces. Mix all the meat and spices. Add the vinegar and mix well.
Put the prepared mixture in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
Grind all together. Do not grind it too fine - use the cutter that has ±¼ inch holes.
Stuff the mixture into the casing, but be careful to not overstuff.
