Oh my! My all-time favorite was Papa’s Rice Pudding. He never wrote it down so it has been lost. But I remember it having rice and raisins. It was thick. Although, when I was going through my aunt’s stuff after she passed away, I think I found it. Haven’t tried it to see if it looks and tastes like I remember.
Other favorites include
Rhubarb Brown Betty. Mom would make this
a lot in the summer when the rhubarb was ripe for pickin’. While it was still warm, we would have a
scoop of vanilla ice cream put on it. I’ve
made this a few times myself but it doesn’t seem to be the same.
Another favorite
dessert recipe was Mom’s Tapioca Pudding.
She made this a lot as well, especially when we had lots of milk on
hand. We had a single dairy cow that
provided us with all the raw milk we could drink, as well as cream to make our
own butter. We made that butter using an
old-fashioned butter churn. It would be
placed in a brown paper bag and set next to our chair in the living room. We would “pound” the cream while watching TV
in the evenings. It was similar to this
picture – but the base was brown and the lid was made of wood.
