I've tried several linking tools, and the most recent one deleted many of the links to our vintage recipes before sending the "warning e-mail." Frustrating since those who were participating and I were trying to preserve these recipes for new generations. So, let's do it the old-fashioned way without any third-party linking tools.
This week, I'm sharing a macaroon cream pie recipe and its accompanying marshmallow meringue recipe. The pie recipe uses almond macaroons and is one of my favorites.
Macaroon Cream Pie Recipe

1/3 cup flour

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs, well beaten
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup crushed almond macaroons
2 cups milk, scalded
Combine butter, sugar, salt, flour, and eggs. Add milk slowly, stirring constantly. Cook over hot water until thick and smooth. Add vanilla and macaroons. Stir until blended. Pour into baked pastry shell. Cover with marshmallow meringue.
Marshmallow Meringue Recipe

Cut marshmallows in small pieces. Fold into well-beaten egg whites. Spread over pie. Bake in slow oven (300 F.) 12 minutes.

I post recipes from the Household Searchlight Recipe Book, first published in 1931. My 16th printing is from 1943. What will you post?
Glad to see Vintage recipes is back! When I visited my grandmother in January, she gave me a vintage cookbook that is really interesting. It has recipes for all the various holidays throughout the year, along with historical information. There are even recipes for the smaller holidays like President's day. It's from 1969 and is called The Year Round Holiday Cookbook.
ReplyDeleteHi Lisa,
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful. It's so nice that it includes historical information and even has recipes for the small holidays. I'm looking forward to your posts. Thank your Grandma. :-)
