Yesterday I found the cookbook you see below at the town dump:
First of all, the book is bound in WOOD and LEATHER with a very unique burned and painted image on it (as you can see above). Published in 1936, it contains recipes such as "Kennebunk Pickle" and "Clam Omelete" where most of the ingredients could almost be assumed and are obviously "New England".
An entire section of sauces really caught my attention and here is one I thought sounded interesting:
HARD SAUCE
1 cup powdered sugar
1/3 cup butter
1/4 cup wine
nutmeg
Cream the butter and add the sugar slowly, beating all the time. Add wine drop by drop and beat well. Before serving sprinkle top with grated nutmeg
I believe you can still find copies of this book used on eBay and even possibly Amazon though I doubt you'll find this one-of-a-kind binding.
hard sauce goes on apple dumplings if you like.
ReplyDeleteand i looked it up actually and ebay and amazon have it for $10 - $25 depending on the state it's in. not with the radical hand-burned wood cover though, of course.
dump finds!
or any dessert of that nature actually!
