We have already collected well over 100 scrumptious, vintage recipes in the last 19 weeks, thanks to all those who have participated to keep these recipes from being forgotten. Many have been tried-and-true family heirlooms, the rest were from old cookbooks or vintage magazines. If you haven't taken a look at our long list of recipes lately, you should click over to the Vintage Recipe Thursday homepage where I've added each one by week and name for easy reference. They are just a click away for all of us to use in our own kitchens and serve at the dinner table for a whole new generation to enjoy.
Here's a very easy recipe for honey bars. It needs no cooking or baking, so it's great to make on hot summer days. It's also great for an energy boost if you go hiking or participate in marathons. You can add some salt if you are going to use it to replenish minerals lost during physical exertion .
Honey Bars Recipe
2 cups raisins
1 cup mixed nuts
1/4 cup honey
Shredded coconut (optional -- enough for rolling)
Grind raisins and nuts. Mix with honey and press 1/2 inch think into a baking sheet. Cover, and place weight on top for 24 hours. Cut in bars. Roll in white or colored shredded coconut.

Thank you for hosting.
Glad you found me. Great first post with your 1950s chocolate potato cake recipe. Thank you for participating!
ReplyDeleteJust found your blog through Grandmother wrens blog. I would like to like up with you next week.
ReplyDeletelove the honey bars! When my bees are ready with their next batch of honey, I am going to save way more for myself - then I can try some of these great honey recipes :-)
ReplyDeleteGrampy: That's wonderful. I'm looking forward to your participation and recipes.
ReplyDeleteGudrun: Your own bees -- how exciting! I've been thinking about getting my own hive too. I love bees for whatever reason and they need to be protected these days. The honey would be a huge bonus, too.
