Dark Secrets
from The Southern Cookbook 1965
" A cookie of the Deep South"

1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons butter, melted
3 unbeaten eggs
5 to 5 1/2 tablespoons flour
1 cup chopped dates
1 cup chopped pecans
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
vanilla

Mix the sugar with the unbeaten eggs; add melted butter; add nuts and
dates. Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt; add to egg
mixture. Grease a shallow baking pan, spread cake mixture in. Bake in
325 - 350-degree F. oven until set but do not bake too done as they
should be chewy. Cut into squares or strips about 1 inch wide, roll
in powdered sugar.


Crowder Peas

Categories: Vegetables Yield: 6 servings

1 pk Frozen Crowder Peas
1/4 lb Ham or ham hock
3 1/2 c Water
1 Onion Flakes
1 Garlic Powder
1 Cajun Seasoning
1 Salt
1/4 c Cooking Oil

In two quart pot, add oil, and brown ham or ham hocks. Add water,
peas, and season to taste. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally
until peas are tender (about one hour). Serve hot over rice or corn
bread.

Note: All beans, peas may be prepared in the same manner. Dry beans
should be rinsed and sorted in a collander before using. Dry beans
require a longer cooking time than fresh or frozen legumes. Any of
your favorite sausages/seasoning meats can replace ham. Monitor
liquids closely while cooking and add water as necessary to prevent
scorching.


Crabby Potatoes

Serves 4.

4 large potatoes, baked or microwaved until tender, cooled
1 pound lump crabmeat
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 teaspoons dry mustard
1 tablespoon prepared brown mustard
1 teaspoon paprika
2 tablespoons seafood seasoning
1/2 cup butter, melted

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cut potatoes in half lengthwise; scoop
out pulp, leaving shell intact. Set pulp aside. In a large bowl, mix
crabmeat, green pepper, onion, mayonnaise, mustards, paprika, and 1
tablespoon seafood seasoning.

Place potato skins on a cookie sheet. Spoon crab mixture into each
potato half. Top with potato pulp. Sprinkle remaining seafood
seasoning over potato halves. Bake 5 to 10 minutes, until heated
through but not dried. Remove from oven; pour melted butter over.


Collard Greens

A time-honored tradition in southern kitchens, collard greens are
typically cooked for a long time to temper their tough texture and
smooth out their bitter flavor; cooking them a day ahead and then
reheating makes them all the better. The greens go perfectly with
rich main dishes, such as fried chicken.

2 teaspoons olive oil
6 slices thick-cut bacon, chopped
2 large cloves garlic, minced
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons cider vinegar mixed into 2 cups water
5 bunches collard greens, about 5 lb, stemmed and carefully washed
Tabasco or other hot-pepper sauce, optional

In a large stockpot over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the
bacon and fry, stirring constantly, until cooked through but not
crisp, 3-4 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and, using a slotted
spoon, transfer the bacon to a dish. Set aside. Pour off all but 2
tablespoons of the drippings from the pot. Return the stockpot to
medium heat. Add the garlic, salt and black and cayenne peppers and
sauté for 1 minute. Carefully pour in the vinegar-water mixture,
stirring until blended. Return the bacon to the pot and boil for 1-2
minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the greens. (Do not
worry if the pan is very full; the greens will cook down.) Cover and
simmer for 10 minutes, then remove the lid and stir well.

Add a few drops of Tabasco, if desired, re-cover and reduce the heat
to very low. Simmer, stirring occasionally and adding a little water
if needed to keep the greens damp, until the greens are tender, about
1 1/2 hours. Serves 4 Nutrition Facts Per Serving Calories 262

Cinnamon Cheesecake

Crust:
20 graham crackers, crushed
1/2 cup melted butter
1/4 cup sugar

Mix all ingredients together, press into bottom of a round 9 inch pan
and bake for 5 minutes at 350 degrees. (Or a graham cracker crust may
be purchased already prepared)

Filling:

1# (2-8oz pkgs)cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sugar
3 eggs

Beat cream cheese until fluffy, add sugar, beat in eggs until very
smooth. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes until firm in center.

Topping:

1 1/2 cups sour cream (12 oz)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup almond slivers

Mix together the sour cream, sugar, and vanilla, spoon on top.
Sprinkle with cinnamon and slivered almonds. Bake 10 minutes at 350
degrees, cool and then refrigerate.


Black Eyed Peas

1 pound dried black-eyed peas
2 large onions, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 green hot pepper, chopped
Dry white wine
Water
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 pound ham or salt meat
Salt
Steamed rice

Wash peas well, getting all the grit and rocks out of them. Place in
glass bowl. Add chopped onion, garlic, and pepper to the peas. Pour
an equal mixture of wine and water over the peas so they are covered
with and inch or more of liquid. Let soak over night. You may have
to add 1 cup wine and 1 cup water before you put them on to cook.

Next morning, cover the bottom of heavy pot with about 1/2 cup olive
oil. Add the meat and heat. Pour peas and the mixture in which they
have marinated into the pot.(Add water if neccesary) Bring to a good
boil, then turn heat down and cook slowly for several hours until
done. Add salt just befor the peas are done. cook a few minutes
longer, so the salt will be absorbed. Serve over steamed rice.
Serves 4-8.


Savannah Low Country Beans
6 servings

1 pound dried lima beans, large
6 cups water
1/2 pound bacon, diced
1 onion, chopped
1 green pepper, diced
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons seasoned salt
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 teaspoons prepared mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 1/3 cups canned tomatoes, diced

Wash the beans and then cover with water and let them soak for about
6 to 8 hours. Discard the water. You may strain this water and save
it for cooking rice or potatoes, or other foods, as this water is
really quite nutritious.

Cook bacon in a large skillet until crisp. I use a large cast iron
skillet, but any skillet will do the job quite well. Remove the
bacon and drain on paper toweling. Crumble when cooled.

To the skillet, add the onion and green pepper and cook for about 5
minutes. Blend in the flour, seasonings and the sugar. Add the
tomatoes and simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes. Add the beans
and heat the bean thoroughly. Sprinkle with the crumbled bacon and
serve.

How disappointed I was I followed the instruction to the letter, after
I spooned the creancheese and a lb.+2 cups of power sugar over the
cake mix per instruction. It boiled over and made such a mess in my
stove and I have yet to clean it all up. it was awful and I spent
almost 12 dollar to make.
What is the correct way to make this cake?It was truly an Earthquake

From: "Pier Washington"

Crab Dip: I was at a party and someone had a crab dip which they
placed in a mold, then turned out on a platter. It was both pretty
and delicious. I'm not sure if the crab was imitation or real. But
it was incredible. Anyone have recipes for either the imitation or the
real crab meat dips?

Corn Recipe: At the same party (pot luck) someone had corn (right off
the cob) which had been fried somehow on the stove top. Does this
ring a bell for anyone?

Thanks a ton!

Title: Key Lime Cake
Yield: 8 Servings

Ingredients

1 3/4 c all-purpose white flour
2 ts baking powder
1/2 ts salt
6 tb unsalted margarine; softened
- (or 2 t butter,
1 c sugar
2 large eggs; at room
-temperature, light
1 1/2 ts grated lime zest, preferably
- key lime (1 lime)
1 tb fresh or bottled unsweetened
- key lime juice
2/3 c buttermilk lime syrup:
1 c sifted confectioners' sugar
-+ extra; for dusting cake
1/2 c fresh or bottled unsweetened
- key lime juice

Instructions

To make cake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush the
inside of an 8-inch (6-cup) bundt or a 9-inch (8-cup)
spring form tube pan with margarine or oil or spray
with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside. In a small
mixing bowl, stir together flour, baking powder and
salt. In a large mixing bowl, beat margarine (or
butter and oil) with electric beaters until softened
and blended. Gradually add sugar and beat until well
blended. Gradually beat in eggs. Beat in lime zest and
juice. Using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula,
alternatively stir the dry ingredients and buttermilk
into the egg mixture, beginning and ending with the
dry ingredients. Spoon the mixture into the prepared
pan and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a cake
tester inserted into the center comes out clean and
the cake starts to pull away from the sides of the
pan. Loosen edges and invert onto a wire rack set over
a plate. To make syrup: In a small bowl, whisk
together confectioners' sugar and lime juice. While
the cake is still warm, poke holes in it using a
skewer or cake tester. Slowly spoon the lime syrup
over the cake, spooning any juice that accumulates on
the plate below over the cake. (The cake can be
prepared ahead and stored, covered, in the
refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Bring to room
temperature before serving.) Just before serving, sift
a little confectioners' sugar over the cake. Serves 8.

tree, with its thorny branches, produces yellow limes
that resemble small lemons. Since Key limes can be
expensive and are not always easy to find, Persian
(green) limes or bottled Key lime juice from the local
grocery store can be substituted.

Key Lime Cake

from Kelly's Caribbean Bar, Grill and Brewery

Originally, this cake yielded 48 servings! It was quite a site as a
whole cake and I don't believe you will need one that size. You
probably don't have the intention or the milk to get down that much
cake. The method was to be as easy and relaxed as any Key Lime Pie.
. The filling should be started first since it needs to be
refrigerated until it is set. Once it is set, it will be quite firm
but don't despair. It will be whipped and then left at room temp for
service. If you refrigerate the cake, be sure to bring it back to room
temperature. The filling was designed to hold the cake better in the
hot, tropical kitchens of the Keys. (See Key Lime Mousse recipe below
for the filling). Buy your favorite box yellow cake and bake it on a
sheet pan to make one 1-1 1/2" thick cake. It will be cut in half and
stacked. If you don't have a sheet pan, just bake your regular size
cake and cut it in half laterally. Cool the cake completely. Make a
glaze for the cake by combining 1 cup of Lime Juice and 1/2 box of
Confectioners Sugar. Bring to a boil and then cool. Assemble the cake
by sandwiching the filling and top with the glaze. Slice and serve
with a big scoop of whipped cream. <...and milk! ;-) >

I soak my turkey overnight totally submerged in a
brine of kosher salt (about 1/2 cup), water, sugar
(about 1/2 cup)...sometimes adding a few cloves of
garlic. When I remove from the brine, I roast it with
thyme, parsley, pepper, a little salt, lemon juice,
onion, celery, bay leaves, a piece of fruit (orange or
apple), sage, chicken broth, butter, a little fruit
juice in the cavity...adding just enough water to keep
a little basting juices in the bottom of pan. I lay
strips of bacon across the breast (discard bacon after
turkey is done). It is the best turkey I've ever had
and I get tons of compliments on it! And I just use
the off brand turkey.
