Recipe Exchange
We have one "found" recipe . . . A sharing recipe and a new request. Of course, there are always previous requests still awaiting the ultimate answer.
Don't be shy now, we're all foodies here and any recipe is a good one, even if it might not be just the right one!!
L.J. Cornwall writes in to tell us about:
"A shrimp dip I had around 20 years ago. I know it had celery, cream of mushroom soup, green onions, and the small canned shrimp. Knox gelatin could be added to make it a molded salad."
And a reader who preferred to remain anonymous (you may remember that I mentioned that we have no problem with that) sent this in:
"I wanted to share this favorite recipe for fruit jam.
In a large saucepan over medium heat combine cranberries
and water; simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in mashed banana and
sugar. Increase heat to medium-high; boil 1 minute. Stir in
pectin and lemon juice.
Seal in hot, sterilized jars.
Sidney credits the following Recipe Goldminefor this recipe which answers one of our previous exchange requests (at least we hope it does!):
Brown beef in shortening, mashing as it cooks so meat will not be lumpy. Add onion when meat is half cooked. Add remaining ingredients, except hot dogs, and simmer about 30 minutes. Serve hot with hot dogs and buns.

And with that I bid you all farewell for yet another month.
