This is my first time participating in Vintage Recipe Thursday! I found this over at grampy and you so I thought I'd join in. Join me on Joys of Desserts blog and leave your link. We have a lot of sweet-tooth dreams come true.
BLACK WALNUT PIE (My Grandma's Recipe)
3 eggs, beaten
1 cup maple syrup (homemade or store-bought)
1-2 cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla and a little lemon flavor
2 T water
pinch of salt
1 cup walnut meats
Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Combine ingredients and bake in unbaked pie crust for 45 minutes.
**My Note: I wonder if Grandma's oven temperature was "off" and it baked hotter than it should have, because 300 degrees seems a little low. If I was baking it in my oven, I would probably go with around 375 degrees. After she passed away, I got her recipe box; I wish she was still here so I could ask her about some of them! **

I know. I wish I had some of my mom's recipes.I am going to see if my mother in law has some.Thanks for the Link.
ReplyDeleteI have the cookbook my Mom used from the 40's. I had it rebound when I worked at the library. I've also got some handwritten recipes that have yellowed over the years. I keep saying I need to scan them in my computer because they are getting so fragile. I really need to do that. I love the Vintage Recipe meme idea, thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to Vintage Recipe Thursday, A.Marie. I'm so glad you are joining us.
ReplyDeleteI think you are right about your grandma's oven. Most ovens are off, and would need to be recalibrated.
I have my mom's two favorite cookbooks which she used when I was growing up -- my own personal comfort food. :-)
