Milkmaid's Recipe Box

FOOD, FOOD, FOOD! I'm such a FARMER at heart-- even a CALF knows that so much in life is about the FOOD! (A bit of a "bio" about me can be found way down near the bottom.)

You can find a recipe index entitled "Labels" down along the right side, starting below the picture of the farm. Then, below the "Label" list are pictures of some of my old "standbys"-- click on their picture and it should take you to the recipe.

You will see no advertising on my blog; this means there is no monetary benefit for me having "visitors" or "joiners"-- having said that, if you do wish to JOIN my blog, you can do so by scrolling w-a-y down to near the bottom of the page...

Donna's Cranberry Salad

Many years ago, Donna C. wrote out and gave this recipe to me. We like it a lot!

You will need:

Large size (6 oz.) raspberry Jell-O
1 and 1/2 cups boiling water
1 can (15-16 oz.) whole cranberries
~~~
1/2 cup chopped nuts
1 can crushed pineapple with its liquid
1/2 cup very cold water
~~~
1 pint of sour cream

DIRECTIONS:

Add the Jell-O to the boiling water and stir constantly until sugar is dissolved. Add cranberries. Mix well. Now add the chopped nuts, pineapple and the cold water.

Pour only 1/2 of this into a 9x13-inch pan and let it get very firm. Spread the pint of sour cream on the firm layer. Spoon remainder of mixture over the sour cream layer and refrigerate until firm (for all day or overnight works best),
