TV.e Frontier Woman . . . Legend Behind This Recipe By BLANCHE SPANN PEASE Haying has been going on for some time. Many of the crews are even finished. But if your harvest or hay crew is still at work and there are extra hands around the house, you’ll like a ready pie mix for these busy days. Here’s how to make it. PASTRY MIX Seven cups flour, four tea spoons salt, two cups lard. Sift flour, measure and add salt. Cut lard into flour with knives and pastry blender until the crumbs are coarse and granular. Cover and store in the refrigerator un til ready to use. In using this mix, 2 Vi cups are required for a two crust pie, lVi cups for a one crust pie. Use four to six tablespoons ice water for the larger amount of pie mix, two to three tablespoons for a one-crust pastry shell. If you use pudding mixes as pie filling, then it won’t take you long to whip up a pie. PECAN PIE Use lVi cups pie mix given above and mix with one to three tablespoons ice water. Line pie pan and crimp edges. Pour in the filling given below. Bake In a moderate oven at 375 F. for 45 to 50 minutes. PECAN FILLING Three eggs, one tablespoon sugar, two tablespoons flour, two cups dark corn syrup, one teaspoon vanilla extract, % tea spoon salt, one cup whole pecan meats. Beat eggs until light. Mix sugar and flour, add to eggs and beat well. Reserve enough of the pecans to place on top of the fill ing. Add the syrup, vanilla, salt and pecans. Arrange remaining pecans on top of filling after it is in pan. Bake in moderate oven of 375 F. for 45 to 50 minutes. — tfw — Believe Originally Published at Lynch— Dorsey, Nebr. Dear Mrs. Pease: I have had several friends and neighbors ask me for this recipe. It was given to me by my sister in-law, and she found it among her mother’s treasured recipes after her death a year or so ago. That makes it more valuable than ever for she was such a kind, loving soul. Previous to this, I have been told by some other neighbors it was published in the Lynch pa per some years ago, so where it originally came from I don’t know. Maybe whoever had it iq the Lynch paper can let us know where it originally came from. I have left the pickles in the brine longer than the recipe states and still processed them like the recipe and they have been delicious. 21-DAY SWEET PICKLES This is for two gallons. Make a brine of salt and water strong enough to float an egg. Soak the pickles in this for two weeks. Remove and split each pickle lengthwise. Soak in cold water for one day, changing the water four or five times during the day. Then to two tablespoons alum add enough water to cover the two gallons of split pickles and soak in this alum water 24 hours. Then simmer in ginger water (enough to bite your tongue, about three tablespoons) for one-half hour. Then rinse off and wipe each pickle dry. Place pickles back in the stone jar, scald each day for seven days with the following syrup: 3% pounds sugar (or 12t£ cups su gar), one quart vinegar, a few pickling spices of your choice (put these in a cloth bag). After the seven-day process they are ready to eat or can. For the last seven days you drain the vinegar off and heat very hot and pour back over the pickles. Double the recipe all the way through, and when they are done you have a good many quarts. MRS. HAROLD OSBORN SAYS SANDHILL SAL When the chair gets up when you do—it’s pretty durn hot!
