The blessing of the computer age came to the rescue. I posted on a few forums I visit and several were kind enough to share their favorites with me. Most had suet and meat....I decided I didn't want meat...that stringy texture is what put me off before. Of course, that was after I bought a pork roast for it. We were forced to eat it for dinner and barbecue sandwiches. (not complaining at all).
I read all the recipes and used bits of several to come up with what tastes to me like I remember it. I made some tarts, ate those, but not really enough filling, make cookies (we weren't impressed with them at all) so yesterday I decided to use up the last quart and make a pie.
I was thrilled with it. It does taste like I thought it should. DH ate a piece but said that was enough....he doesn't even like raisin pie which I love.
That looks yummy to me! Would you share the recipe? Pretty please.
ReplyDeleteAnd Glenda before I forget, don't you ever feel like you are NOT talented, because you most definitely ARE. I feel inadequate with all that you do as a farm wife and homemaker. We all have our gifts or talents that we have been blessed with. None of us are the same, we are unique, wonderful creations.
I am so glad you started a blog as I thoroughly enjoy it. Each visit is like a mini vacation.
Love and hugs and happy new year ~ FlowerLady
