Canned Meat, Canning Turkey Thighs Yummy!

Fri, 25 Oct 2002 22:13:52 -0400

This recipe is from dh's Amish mother. This is simply outstanding - AND easy to make! This is perfect for the nights you're in a hurry to make supper - just grab a jar of meat, open & heat! We purchase these thighs when on sale for 99 cents/lb. and try to keep this meat on hand. You won't be disappointed - it's SO yummy! Enjoy! Editors Note: From the University of Wisconsin-Cooperative Extension, Safe Food Preservation: Meat, wild game, poultry, and fish are low-acid foods and must be processed in a pressure canner for the full time specified to destroy food-poisoning bacteria that might be present. Under no circumstances should you use any other processing method such as boiling water bath, microwave, or over canning. -- posted by WJKing

Lancaster County, AMISH cornmeal mush

Sun, 24 Nov 2002 20:12:21 -0500

This is delicious served with syrup or ketchup - your preference, and served alongside eggs. We also like to eat it here in Lancaster County with milk - or just browned butter - right after it's cooked. (before putting it in the loaf pan) Otherwise, pour it into the loaf pan & let it cool, then keep it in the refrigerator until cooled completely & it can easily be sliced. This recipe is so simple, I was almost embarrassed to post - but it's what we eat here - and I've seen numerous requests for this - so here it is! ENJOY! -- posted by WJKing

Another simple recipe I am almost embarrassed to post. My Amish mother-in-law passed this on, as my husband was raised with this one. It's STILL a favorite of his today! He prefers his eggs over top the crackers - you can eat it as you wish! This was also a treat served when someone was feeling ill - fairly easy on the stomach. -- posted by WJKing

Amish Apple Cake With Hot Caramel Sauce

This is one of our favorite cake recipes, originally published in Cooking from Quilt Country by Marcia Adams. I modified the caramel sauce a bit and increased the amount of the sauce since it is so wonderful! The cake keeps well and can be reheated briefly in the microwave. Extra caramel sauce is divine over ice cream! -- posted by miss gracie

This is just what its name implies...the absolute best beef stew ever. It is wonderful in the colder weather and really warms you up.

Kinda Amish Macaroni Salad

Tue, 13 Apr 2004 19:59:56 -0400

Why only "kinda" Amish? Good question - shows you're paying attention. While the recipe from which this was adapted proudly proclaimed to be Amish Macaroni Salad, I found it to be much too sweet and not eggy enough for our tastes. After playing a bit with proportions and trying different types of vinegar and mustard, this is what resulted -- and although it's only Kinda Amish, it is, indeed, Very Deelish. You may save one hard cooked egg and slice it to arrange on the top, then sprinkle with paprika. Or you can just put all of the eggs in the salad and mix in some paprika too, and garnish with a few little tufts of fresh parsley. Or, for the presentationally-impaired like myself, just use all the eggs right in the salad, and forget the paprika and parsley. Parsley's always a little bit suspicious in my book anyway - once I got some parsley from a salad bar and it was plastic. Yeah, it was part of the decoration, but you know, they could warn people. "Attention Restaurant Patrons: Salad Bar Decorations Are Non-Edible. Everything Else Is Okay To Eat. No, Really. We Mean It." Oh, by the way, you'll want to prepare this a day ahead, and chill overnight in a padlocked refrigerator. Otherwise, it'll vanish long before you planned to serve it. -- posted by ThatBobbieGirl

Dried Beef Casserole

Mon, 03 May 2004 20:00:21 -0400

Here's some good, down-home Pennsylvania Dutch cooking for you--dried beef is very popular here. This recipe proves there's more that you can make with it besides 'S.O.S.!' Serve with salad or a green vegetable and you have a meal that really sticks to your ribs on those cold winter nights. -- posted by Foxgirl

Amish Gooey Rhubarb Rolls

Sun, 28 Nov 2004 19:59:56 -0500

This is based on a recipe from a copy my daughter has of the cookbook “Amish Cooking” compiled by a committee of Amish Women, published by Herald Press. In the book, it is known as “Sarah Schwartz’s Rhubarb Rolls” but it makes such deliciously gooey rolls that the new name is more apt! -- posted by Juliesmom

Quick Amish Friendship Bread or Muffins (No Starter Required)

Sat, 22 Jan 2005 20:01:54 -0500

I love this bread and I had a craving for it, but didn't want to wait the month it took for the starter to be ready, so, I modified it a bit.

Clear Toy Candy [pa Dutch Traditional]

Mon, 03 Oct 2005 11:18:42 -0400

"Several people have asked how to make traditional clear toy candy. It is so simple that anyone can do it, but remember it is dangerous so no small children please. You will need: a pan, a candy thermometer, clear corn syrup, sugar, and water. No flavoring please - that is why it has a unique flavor. You may also add a small amount of red food coloring and if you are not very traditional you may use green food coloring which came into use in the 1920's. If you add no coloring it will turn out a beautiful amber." This is from the original poster when I did a hunt for it because making the candy was a big question for some friends. -- posted by DR.

Amish Friendship Nut Bread - on Demand

Wed, 23 Nov 2005 12:40:43 -0500

This recipe uses the Amish Friendship Starter, see recipe posted by Kim D, Amish Friendship Starter Recipe #64793, it is the exact one I use. After 5 years of using this starter and making breads I have created several versions of the bread, this is the family favorite. Please note you can make your starter, and if you do not make bread that day, or do not want to give any away, measure out 1 1/4 cups and put in zippy lock freezer bags, write the date on bag, and freeze for up to 6 mos. (I put the 1/4 cup in to count for the stuff that NEVER seems to get out of the bag! To use, take required amount out of freezer and place in fridge to thaw for 48 hours, when completely thawed, just use as normal with no feeding. To use frozen starter to create a new series of starter, thaw on cabinet, place in plastic or glass jar, and feed it with 1 cup sugar, 1 cup flour and 1 cup milk. Count that as DAY #1. *One thing I have noticed - some people put the starter in the refrigerator. It works, but leaving it out at room temp is fine, and when this recipe was created, people did not have that luxury. The starter I am using today has been on the cabinet for over 3 years; everyone here is just fine & healthy! :) Trust the old people, we know things........ -- posted by LadyOutlaw

Mennonite Farmer Sausage

Sun, 03 Sep 2006 21:26:53 -0400

This is the recipe we got from my uncle when we wanted to make our own sausage. We discovered that making sausage was a bit more work than we were interested in -- especially since we had to rent shop space and use equipment we weren't really familiar with -- so we decided to leave it up to our butcher. Since he's also started using this recipe, we still get the same great sausage -- at a slightly higher price, yes, but with a lot less work! (I haven't included the time it takes to stuff casings because that will be different for everyone.) **Edited Sep07/06: I forgot to indicate in the intial post that this sausage gets smoked for 3-4 hours after it's in the casings. Without the smoking, it won't be farmer sausage, so it's a pretty key step!!! -- posted by Swan Valley Tammi

(And I get around!) Try this, and prepare to be amazed by the delicious, gooey/crumbly, SWEET richness!

From an old handwritten card. This recipe originally called for fresh ice cream straight out of the ice cream churn.

Anyway if you want to follow the recipe as written substitute homemade ice cream in here and use it straight from the churn. Cooking time is freezing time. -- posted by Nyteglori

Black Coffee Cake

Sat, 29 Dec 2007 18:42:50 -0500

This recipe is from the 1980 copy of the Grace Evangelical Congregational Church cookbook from Muir, Pennsylvania. My Nana saved a copy of the cookbook and gave it to be when I became an adult. The cookbook has seen better days and I thought it would be good to post some of the recipes and keep them alive after the book has fallen apart. Also, I think it is a nice snap shot of the type of recipes these women (largely of Pennsylvania Dutch ancestry) of rural Pennsylvania where making in 1980. The cookbook says this was the recipe submitted by the then Minister of the church, Pastor Harold Smith. My Nana has handwritten next to the recipe "This is almost black and VERY good!' -- posted by Sarah_Jayne

Ida's Macaroni Salad

Sat, 29 Dec 2007 18:47:15 -0500

Another recipe from the 1980 version of the Grace Evangelical Congregational Church cookbook from Muir, Pennsylvania that was given to me by my Nana when I became an adult. This recipe was submitted to the cookbook by Ida Unger. So many of the recipes in the cookbook didn't specify serving yield. So, I am guessing on it for this recipe. Let -- posted by Sarah_Jayne

Beef and Cabbage Stuffed Pig Stomach

Another recipe from the 1980 version of the Grace Evangelical Congregational Church cookbook from Muir, Pennsylvania that was given to me by my Nana when I became an adult. This recipe was submitted to the cookbook by Gertie Hammer. Trust me when I say that there is no chance at all that I will ever cook this but I think it was an interesting glimpse into a different era. -- posted by Sarah_Jayne

Sho-Fly Pie

Another recipe from the 1980 version of the Grace Evangelical Congregational Church cookbook from Muir, Pennsylvania that was given to me by my Nana when I became an adult. This recipe was submitted to the cookbook by Loleda Shutt. It was one of five Sho-Fly pie recipes in the book. The real question for Sho-Fly pie lovers is - wet or dry? -- posted by Sarah_Jayne

Another way to use your Amish Friendship Bread Starter. If you don't have starter, use Recipe #153 to start the process.

Amish Bean Soup

Sun, 01 Mar 2009 18:18:35 -0500

This is a wonderful warm soup to warm the heart in these last cold days of winter. Being in Wisconsin, warm soup is always a welcome thing. This is a very simple amish soup, so it has very simple ingredients. It's perfect for a beginner cook or someone like me who just wants something easy. -- posted by Jess4Freedom

Smoked Ham Hock and Cabbage Soup

Fri, 27 Mar 2009 02:05:08 -0400

Got this recipe from an Amish neighbor years ago, but she doesn't remember where she got it. I have had this at the Hoss's steakhouse chain as an appetizer or with a big salad.This is more about the broth than the ham or cabbage. Be careful of the salt as some ham hocks can be very salty, but on the plus side they are available at any grocery store. -- posted by Chef #1149837

Amish Potato Salad

Sun, 05 Jul 2009 12:30:18 -0400

I use to make batches of this for my husband to take to work with him for lunch. Amish potato salad is sweeter than most so keep that in mind if you don't like sweet potato salad. Sorry, cooking time is a guess. -- posted by Queen Dana
