Baked Beans with bacon

Grammy Beans
Alma Grace Patton F

No family get together would be complete without Grammy Beans. Her grandchildren always asked for them as well as her Cherry Cheese Pie.

30 oz pork and beans            
¼ c brown sugar
¼ c ketchup                           
¼ c molasses
4-6 strips bacon, fried medium
Combine ingredients and place in oven safe dish. Lay trips of bacon on top. Bake uncovered in a moderate oven (350º) for about half an hour or until mixture is reduced to a thick sauce.

Pickled Beets
Angelina Rachelle F

3 lbs beets                        
6 whole cloves              
1 stick cinnamon
1 pt vinegar                      
1 tsp whole allspice        
11/2 c water          
½ c sugar
Boil beets until tender. Remove skins. (You can cheat and use canned beets.) Tie spices in cheesecloth. Heat vinegar, water, sugar, and spices to boiling point. Add beets and boil 5 minutes. Pack in sterile jars and fill with hot liquid. Seal.

Red Beet Eggs
Angelina Rachelle F

When making pickled beets, save some of the spicy pickling liquid and put into it a half dozen, shelled, hard-boiled eggs. These take on a beautiful color and excellent flavor and are grand as appetizers served with crisp hearts of celery. They are also good sliced in sandwiches or salads.

If you don't have any pickled beet juice there's a quick recipe in the cookbook you can use.

Pickles
Angelina Rachelle F

Small pickling cucumbers (preferably 4 inches or less, not too wide)

2 qt water              
1/2 c vinegar                  
1/3 c salt
2 T of sugar            
1 clove garlic                 
fresh dill herb
Boil water, vinegar, salt, and sugar into a brine.  Wash cucumbers, cut off ends (do not peel).  Layer dill and cucumbers in heavy glass or ceramic pot. Place 1 clove of garlic (cut up) with dill.  Pour boiled brine over cucumbers.  Place lid to hold cucumbers down and cover for about 24 hours.

Sour Cream Cucumber Salad
Joan Krommes Claypotch

1 large cucumber              
1/4 to 1/2 onion, sliced        
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup milk                      
not quite 1/4 cup sugar        
1 tablespoon vinegar (or to taste)                                  
1/4 teaspoon salt
Mix all together and then add cucumbers.

Halushki (Noodles and Cabbage)
Angelina Rachelle F

This is popular at bazaars/block parities/church festivals.  It's always served at these events in one of those wax lined thin cardboard rectangular containers that fries are often served in.

1 head cabbage        
1 bag wide noodles       
1 stick butter      
salt & pepper

Variation 1:  Cook wide noodles and drain.  Cut up cabbage, add butter and water. Cook until cabbage is done, making sure no water remains (5 to 7 minutes). Pour cabbage over noodles and mix well.  Add salt and pepper.

Variation 2:  Cut the cabbage up any way you like (julienne, large or small squares, etc.), do the same with the onion.  Heat a large pan (I use medium-high heat on an electric range).  When the pan is hot, add bacon grease/oil/butter or the 'grease' of your choice.  I usually use butter but suit yourself.  When the grease is hot, add cabbage and onions and saute for a few minutes.  Turn down the heat (medium) and cover the pan.  Let this cook until the cabbage is soft.  If you want the cabbage browned more, remove the lid and turn up the heat again.  Add grease/butter/oil as you need it.  Add the cooked noodles and serve.  The amount of ingredients you use depends on how much halushki you want to make.  Experiment! 

You may also add diced potatoes or potato dumplings to it or sauerkraut or even cheese.
