My apologies to everyone for posting this late on Thursday. I got my calendar days mixed up because of Memorial Day! Yikes! I hope that's not premature old age, and that you can all forgive me and laugh out loud with me rather than at me. ;-)
So on to this week's recipes.
How about pie, this week? I was given two beautiful rhubarb stalks so I'll be trying out this rhubarb pie recipe tomorrow. We all love chocolate, so I'm also sharing a chocolate cream pie recipe. Enjoy!
Rhubarb Pie
1 egg, well beaten
1 cup sugar
1 cup finely sliced rhubarb
1/2 cup cracker crumbs
1/2 cup chopped raisins
2 tablespoons melted butter
salt
Combine sugar and egg. Add rhubarb, crumbs, few grains salt, raisins, and butter. Mix thoroughly. Pour into pastry-lined pie pan. Cover with top crust. Bake in hot oven (425 F.) about 45 minutes. Submitted to Household Searchlight by Addie Folsom, Plymouth, NH.
Chocolate Cream Pie
1 cup evaporated milk
1 cup water
2 eggs, well beaten (Joy's note: should read "separated"!)

4 Tablespoons flour

Melt chocolate over hot water. Add flour, 6 tablespoons sugar, and salt. Combine milk and water. Add slowly stirring constantly, to chocolate mixture. Cook over hot water until thick and smooth.

ReplyDeleteShannon: Thanks for leaving your link. I just visited, WOW! I'll bet you liked my Erma Bombeck quote at the top of this blog, "Seize the moment. Think of all those women on the Titanic who waved off the dessert cart." You'd also like the article I just wrote about a national controversy over a small doughnut shop named "Psycho Donut."
