Mincemeat Cookies ~ The Old Fashioned Way by Amos MillerI have always loved mincemeat - pie with vanilla ice cream or cookies and cocoa. This is how we make them, except here I will substitute Borden's Nonesuch Mincemeat, or Robertson's (preferred) in a jar instead of homemade mincemeat.

Strawberry and Rhubarb Tapioca Pudding by Salad FoodieA delightful tapioca pudding for a special occasion. So ruby-red pretty, and with a small scoop of vanilla ice cream on top, you'll think you died and went to heaven. If fresh rhubarb is not available substitute frozen, and mash or cut up after simmering if necessary. |

Potluck Apricot Cobbler by Salad FoodieAn old-fashioned cobbler makes a hit with crowds and one of my favorite cobbler fruits is apricots. These perky golden first fruits of summer have a nice balance of sweet and tart. Fresh in-season fruit is preferred, but I have often used my stash of frozen cots from season’s past, and they work well for cobblers, as do canned. This… |
