Vera’s Holiday Brown Candy!
Here's a new recipe from out of the bag that "Chickasha Oklahoma Legend" Grandmother Vera gave Dad before she passed away...
Holiday Brown Candy
6 cups white sugar - 2 cups cream
1/4 tsp baking powder - 1/2 cup oleo
1 tsp vanilla - 4 cups broken pecans
*Warning* This recipe makes 3 pounds of candy!
Pour
2 cups ofthe sugar into a heavy aluminum or iron skillet and place over
low heat. Stir with a woden spoon and keep the sugar moving so that it
will not scorch for 15 minutes, until it's about the color of light
brown sugar syrup.
As
soon as you have the sugar heating, pour the remaing 4 cups of
sugar together with the 2 cups of cream into a deep, heavy kettle and
set it over low heat to cook slowly while you are melting the sugar in
the skillet.
As
soon as the sugar is melted, begin very slowly pouring it into the
kettle of boiling milk and sugar, keeping it over very low heat and
stirring across the bottom of the pan constantly.
Continue cooking and stirring until the mixture forms a firm ball when dropped into cold water.
After
this test is made, turn off the burner and immediately add the baking
soda while stirring hard as it foams up. As soon as the baking soda is
mixed, add the oleo, allowing it to melt as you stir.
Set
the pan of candy off the stove and let cool about 20 minutes,
until it is lukewarm. Add the vanilla and beat until the mixure is
thickened and heavy and takes on a dull appearance instead of a glossy
sheen. Add the pecans and mix.
Turn into two 13X9X2-inch pans where it can be cut into 1 inch squares when cooled.
I hope everyone has a really Super Fantastic Thanksgiving, take care and God Bless.....Mikey

Grandmother Vera's Salad Dressing!
Here's another of "Chickasha Oklahoma Legend" Grandmother Vera's recipes that Dad sent me to share with you...
Several
years ago Vera gave me an envelope with a large amount of recipes in
it. Over 50 are in her hand writing and the rest came from just
everywhere she could clip them out. I will be sending these out typed.
All that I send will be from Vera's own hand writing and the best I can
read them. Some are dated in the 70s and one seems to be from
Claudene's high school days (Over 15 years ago).
Salad Dressing
Put into the blender container:
1 egg
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon mustard
1/2 teaspoon paprika
3 tablespoons vinegar or lemon juice
Cover,
switch on the motor for just a few seconds, then remove the lid and add
gradually, with the motor running, 1 1/2 cup salad oil. Blend
until very thick and smooth.
Hope everyone has a very Wonderful Wednesday, take care and God Bless.....Mikey

it. Over 50 are in her hand writing and the rest came from just
everywhere she could clip them out. I will be sending these out typed.
All that I send will be from Vera's own hand writing and the best I can
read them. Some are dated in the 70s and one seems to be from
Claudene's high school days (Over 15 years ago).

Grandmother Vera's Apple Cobbler!
Here's another of "Chickasha Oklahoma Legend" Grandmother Vera's recipes that Dad sent this week...
Several
years ago Vera gave me an envelope with a large amount of recipes in
it. Over 50 are in her hand writing and the rest came from just
everywhere she could clip them out. I will be sending these out typed.
All that I send will be from Vera's own hand writing and the best I can
read them. Some are dated in the 70s and one seems to be from
Claudene's high school days (Over 15 years ago).
Three
days ago I tried this and it came out, the best apple cobbler
I've tasted. I changed the recipe a little. I used water instead
of half & half. I accidentally used the 1/4 th cup of water when I
was making only a half order and should have used 1/8th cup. When I
stirred the mix it came out watery. I added another 1/4 cup of mix and
sat it in the freezer while the apples cooked. Then I spooned the
thikened mix on the apples evenly. I used a regular size cake pan
that was sprayed with cooking spray and dusted with flour.
Apple Cobbler
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup baking mix
1/4 cup butter (I used a little more thant that)
1/4 cup half & half
1/4 th Teaspoon of vanilla
2-21 ounce cans, fruit pie filling
Heat
oven to 375 degrees, mix sugar, baking mix, cut in butter, mix in
cream, vanilla, shape in balls and refrigerate 30 minutes. Pour fruit
into 7 X 11 pan. Heat 10 minutes in the 375 oven. Roll chilled
dough out on floured surface. Place over hot fruit. Bake 25 minutes or
until golden. Brush with melted butter (oleo). Sprinkle with sugar. The
crust will rise and become golden.
Remember,
I made a 1/2 recipe and spooned the crust over the apples. I used the
$1.29 can of pie cooking apples and sprinkled powdered sugar over the
top, once cooked. The $3.00 apples couldn't have been better.
Besides the "Poco Feliz Navidad" design for Christmas, Bill (you can see his work, when he gets his site going, at hobbyillustrator.com) is working on a "Sissy Merry Christmas" design,
more info on it all when I start to get it finalized, hope everyone has
a Fantastically Wonderfull Wednesday, take care and God Bless.....Mikey

BURNT SUGAR FUDGE

2 Table spoons of Karo syrup

a large saucepan melt 1/2 cup of sugar until it is Carmel in color. Mix
remaining sugar, syrup, & cream together & add caramelized

together. Cook to soft boil (234 degrees).
Then Add:
1/4 Tsp salt (A Dab)
1 Tsp Vanilla
1 Tsp. Soda
Beat
until it begins to thicken & then add 1 cup chopped pecans. Pour

Grandmother Vera's Banana Bread or Dad's Pumpkin Bread...
Dad
sent another of Chickasha Oklahoma Legend Grandmother Vera's recipes
that she had written for him before she passed away, he added some
notes of his own too, some of the notes I'm not sure which are his or
Vera's, so am copying and pasting it the way he sent it...
I
sprayed Pam on the inside of a small loaf baking pan. Then put flour in
it and slightly coated the Pam with flour. Discard excess flour.
Banana Bread
!/2 cup Butter , Oleo or Shortening
1 Cup Sugar
3 eggs
3 bananas mashed
2 Cups of Flour
1 Teaspoon Soda
Nuts if desired
The
way I changed the above recipe is I used one 16 ounce can of pumpkin
instead of bananas. Really, the way one reacts to this it may turn out
to be Banana Bread or Pumpkin Bread. Cook in the oven at 325 for one
(1) hour. Vera sometimes used 2 eggs if they were expensive and three
if the eggs were on sale. I used one cup of slightly chopped pecans.
I've seen Vera add some cinnamon in this before she stirred it all up
with a big spoon.
Substituting
Bananas with Pumpkin sounds interesting, I may just try making some
Chocolate/Pumpkin Nice Cream and if it works will post the recipe here
when I can, hope everyone has a really Wonderful Wednesday, take care
and God Bless.....Mikey

Grandmother Vera's Quick Cobbler...
I
had written in February that Deb's mother (Seth and Caleb's Great
Grandma Virginia) was going through chemotherapy, we just found out
that after completing her last treatment Monday they ran tests and the
results that came in say her cancer is gone, would like to thank those
who have prayed for her...
Here is another re-post from a few months ago of "Chickasha Oklahoma Legend" Grandmother Vera's recipes that Dad has typed up..
Several

All that I send will be from Vera's own hand writing and the best I can
read them. Some are dated in the 70s and one seems to be from
Claudene's high school days (Over 15 years ago).
Quick Cobbler
1 stick of oleo
1 quart of fruit
3/4 cup of sugar
1 cup of flour
2 teaspoons of baking soda
3/4 cup of milk
Mix
oleo, sugar, baking powder, milk & flour. Pour in a baking pan.
Sweeten fruit to taste and pour on top of the mix. Bake at 400 degrees
for 25 minutes.
1 quart of fruit equals 4 cups. This is fast
& good. I use the big can of fruit & add 1/2 cup of water. The
dough cooks to (comes to) the top. Something fast and I like it.
Dad adds:
I made up 1 & 1/2 times the dough recipe, used one big can of
sliced peaches and one medium can of pie filling, cut up apples and I
cooked it 30 minutes in two 7 X 7 pans. Cooking it 5 minutes extra made
the top a bit tougher and not adding water made the inside taste OK but
needing a wee bit more moisture.
Hope everyone has a very Wonderful Wednesday, take care and God Bless.....Mikey

Grandmother Vera's Regular and Jalapeno Cornbread!
Debbie's
knee is getting better every day, we went fishing last night and
although we weren't out there long, we had a great time...
Here is another re-post from a few months ago of "Chickasha Oklahoma Legend" Grandmother Vera's recipes that Dad has typed up..
Several
years ago Vera gave me an envelope with a large amount of recipes in
it. Over 50 are in her hand writing and the rest came from just
everywhere she could clip them out . I will be sending these out typed.
All that I send will be from Vera's own hand writing and the best I can
read them. Some are dated in the 70s and one seems to be from
Claudene's high school days (Over 15 years ago).
Regular Corn Bread
1 cup sifted flour, 1 cup corn meal
4 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup shortning, 2 eggs, 1 cup buttermilk
Mix
this lightly and bake in 400 oven about 14 minutes. (I bake this
in an iron skillet that Vera gave me and I heat and grease the skillet
in the oven before I put the mix in the skillet).
Jalapeno Corn Bread
3 Cups of Corn Meal Mix. I add one teaspoon of baking powder.
3 eggs beaten (She always bought Jumbo)
1 1/2 cup of Sweet milk (Same as whole milk)
3 tablespoons of Sugar, 1/2 cup of oil
1 16 ounce can of creamed style corn, 1 Large chopped onion
1 1/2 cup of grated Cheddar cheese
4 more or less Jalapeno Peppers, chopped or sliced (I suggest you start with 2)
I
beat the eggs in a large bowl. Then add every thing else , but for the
cheese. When mixed good , I add the cheese. Bake at 375 or
400. I use a 11 X 16 inch cookie sheet with a one inch rim.
It cooks nicely in iron skillet . Just don't fill to full. (This
is Jim -grease the cooking pan and heat it before pouring the mix in
it). Vera didn't say how long to cook this but you can just watch
and do your best as you see it getting done on top-I also suggest the
350 setting. She would cook this and immediately eat a big portion and
save the rest cut up in squares and stored in a big bowl , covered with
plastic or foil and placed in the "ICE BOX". Vera liked the 4 pepper
ingredient but I do suggest the two pepper one for your first
try. If you slice the hot peppers I suggest you cut them as thin
as you can.
Want
to remind everyone that those who can make it are welcome to come to
the MikeyWear Brunches, 10am-Noon CT on Fridays at the Flying S on
Highway 35 in Angleton, home of the Catfish Friday Buffets that start
at 11am CT, all that can make it are welcome to attend and
maybe even (if they dare!) help Erwin with his demonstration for
Sunday's Feature on this blog, take care and God Bless.....Mikey
