I have sent my friend this e-mail address. Currently she wants some
recipes for barbecue sauces. Particularly, one similar to Jack
Daniel's or one which includes pineapples. I know in previous
e-mails
there has been a lot of barbecue recipes, but I didn't save them. Is
there a way I can get to the previous e-mailed recipes?
**** Moderators note: I will post as many of the previous recipes
online as practical in the next few days.
****
I would like some recipes on how to cook Lima beans. Could you cook
them the same way as green beans?
And how to cook (boil not fry) Chitterlings?

Subject: Fruit Puss
To: posts@chitterlings.com
Although my mother is from Texas, she calls it
Cobbler, but this is what she does and I also do the
same thing. I prepare the fruit with spices such as
nutmeg, sugar, lemon extract, cinnamon, and butter
(not margarine, butter makes it richer) to taste. I
bring this to a boil and then turn it down low to
simmer. Take pie crust (you can make your own, take
frozen pie crust and thaw or pie dough) and semi ball
or shape it like a dumpling and drop it in the fruit
simmering. I test the dough in about 15 to 20
minutes, letting it absorb the juice and flavor of the
fruit mixture. When ready, it will be like a dumpling
and like Wilhelmina said, it would have the texture of
sweet spiced buscuits and tasty too. Then I put it in
a casserole dish put a crust over it and cook until
the crust is golden brown.
Then my eat is on! I also like to eat this with
vanilla ice cream.

My grandmother Eva Murray was born in Folkston
Georgia. Eventually married Wiggins Perry from Way Cross
Georgia and made their home in Newport, News Virginia.
On Sundays she would make what she and my other older
relatives would call a FRUIT PUSS. I grew up calling
this blackberry, peach or apple puss, it was simular to
what the northerners call cobbler. One very
embarressing moment for me was to walk in a restuarent
in Washington, DC years ago and ask for peach puss and
to be told that is cobbler.
She would prepare the fruit seasoned with sugar and
spices and make dumplings and drop them in the prepared
fruit. I can prepare the fruit but can never get the
dumplings correct. The dumplings would be have the
texture of sweet spiced buscuits after the puss is baked.
Is there anyone that's familiar with Fruit Puss.

Subject: Pies
These are quite delicious. Perhaps this is the creme you are looking
for....
Oatmeal Creme Pies
Cookies
1 cup margarine
3/4 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon molasses
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
1 1/2 cups 1-minute Quaker Oats
Creme Filling
2 teaspoons very hot water
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups marshmallow creme (1 7-ounce jar)
1/2 cup shortening
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a large bowl, cream together margarine, sugars, molasses,
vanilla and eggs.
3. In a separate bowl combine the flour, salt, baking soda and
cinnamon.
4. Combine the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients. Mix in the
oats.
5. Drop dough by tablespoonfuls onto an ungreased baking sheet. Bake
for 10-12 minutes, or until cookies are just starting to darken
around the edges. They will still appear moist in the center. Be
careful not to overcook --
when cooled, the cookies should be soft and chewy.
6. While the cookies bake, prepare the filling. Use a small bowl to
dissolve the salt in 2 teaspoons of very hot water. Set this solution
aside to cool.
7. Combine the marshmallow creme, shortening, powdered sugar, and
vanilla in a medium bowl and mix well with an electric mixer on high
speed until fluffy. Add the cooled salt solution to the filling
mixture and combine with the mixer.
8. Assemble each creme pie by spreading the filling over one side of a
cookie (the flat side) and press another cookie on top, making a
sandwich. Repeat for the remaining cookies and filling.
Makes 2 dozen creme pies.

Subject: Yams
Skillet Style Candied Yams
Ingredients
1 cube butter
4 large, smooth yams, peeled and sliced into 1/2 inch slices
(crosswise)
1 cup sugar, white or brown (or 1/2 cup white sugar, 1/2 cup brown
sugar)
1 Tablespoon ground nutmeg
1 Tablespoon vanilla flavoring*
Directions
In a large skillet, over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the
sliced yams to the melted butter in the skillet until you have one
layer, sprinkle about 1/3 of the sugar and 1/3 of the nutmeg on top
of the layer, repeat twice. Evenly distribute the vanilla flavoring*
over the top layer. Reduce the heat to medium low and place a cover
on the skillet. Continue cooking slowly in this manner for about 25
to 30 minutes, or, until the yams are as one as is your preference.
Serve hot. Makes 6 to 8 servings.
* Instead of the vanilla flavoring, if you would like to substitute
rum, bourbon, scotch, brandy, or whatever, you will certainly get a
different taste!

Subject: Pie
One Crust Apple Crumb Pie
Makes 1 pie
INGREDIENTS (Makes 1 pie)
4 cups tart apples
2 Tbsp butter
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, etc.)
1 pie crust
PROCEDURE
(1) Core, peel and slice the apples.
(2) Melt the butter, and mix the rest in with it. Pour over apples
and mix around so the apples are coated.
(3) Put in an unbaked pie shell
(4) Combine brown sugar, flour, melted butter, and nuts. Spread
over top of the filling.
(5) Bake at 375 deg. F for 50 minutes, or until it is
bubbling.
NOTES: The pie can also be frozen and then baked, right from the
freezer, at 360 deg. F for 90 minutes. The pies will keep a very
long time in the freezer, and not be worse for wear.
PS: For those who like the quality of home-made pie crusts but the
convenience of ready-made, make a bunch of crusts someday when the
mood grabs you, and put them in the freezer in a big plastic bag.

Subject: Fish
Fish and Chips
INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup cornmeal
4 to 6 ounces ale (beer)
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 cups vegetable oil for frying
4 large russet potatoes
2 pounds fish fillets, cut in half, crosswise
METHOD
Preheat oven to 250° F.
Prepare batter: Mix flour, cornmeal and salt together. Add ale and
mix well. Batter should be thin.
Cut potatoes in even, finger-sized pieces.
Heat oil in deep fryer. DO NOT FILL TO TOP. The potatoes and the fish
will cause the oil to bubble. Allow room for the oil to rise.
Cook 1/3 of the potatoes until golden brown, about five minutes.
Drain on paper towels. Place in warmed oven. Repeat process until
potatoes are done. Do not put in too many potatoes at a time. It will
cool the oil too much.
Dip fish in batter, allowing excess to drip off. Fry in batches until
golden brown, about 5 to 8 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Keep warm
in oven until all fish are cooked.
Wrap in tabloid newspaper shaped like a cone. If lacking, a plate
will have to suffice. Serve with a sprinkling of malt vinegar.
Serves: 4

Subject: Recipe Request
First of all, I made Chicken and Dumplings and the 4-layer pie for
Sunday's dinner. Both of them were excellent, and give me cause to
hope that I have success with this request.
For many years I clipped recipes from magazines. I had two folders
full of these recipes and about three times a year I would throw a
dinner party and invite a small group over to "experiment" on
them.
Somehow these folders disappeared during my last move. One of my
favorite recipes was for a sweet and spicy chicken wing. The recipe
included honey, green onion, soy sauce, chile sauce and some sort of
oil that I got out of the Asian foods aisle of the store. The
chicken wings were marinated, then baked or broiled.
If anyone knows of this recipe, or of one similar to it, I would
greatly appreciate it.

This cake is called jelly cake and the icing is made with apply jelly.
The cake itself I guest is a basic yellow or white cake with this

Subject: Meat dish
Organization: Medical College - Center for Science Education
To Whom It May Concern:
I was wondering if you have ever heard of a recipe called scrapper, it
is made out of meat and has the consistency of peanut butter. It was
a recipe that was well known in the south. I think it probably was
back in slavery time. It is pretty well known, just like Polk salad,
to the old generation of southerners, unfortunately, my parents have
passed away without leaving the recipe - so you can see this is
sentimental to me. I would appreciate if you could tell me; if you
don’t know, maybe you could refer me to some who could possible have
an idea of what I’m talking about.
Thank you,

Well, I never heard it called that, but my mother (whose family came
to Texas from Georgia) always made her fruit cobblers with thin,
rolled dumplings. I have never heard of anybody else that knew this
recipe. Ever so often, I make this, and blackberry is especially
good.
I just make up dumplings from flour, salt, a small amount of
shortening,
and water. Just like those I use for chicken and dumplings, only I
add
about a fourth of a cup of sugar to the recipe. Roll them out until
they are thin, cut in strips, and drop into the simmering fruit and
juice. This was my mother's imprecise, but wonderful, recipe:
"I just take a couple cups of flour, a pinch of salt, and a piece
of
shortning the size of a hen's egg--mix together good, and add enough
water to make a dough. Stir it around until you can handle it, and
put on a floured board and roll it out."
Then she would pour all this into a large pan, put some strips of pie
dough over the top and bake. She also did this same thing with sweet
potatoes!
Delicious
