Grandma Ransom is not my grandmother. She was the grandmother of a childhood friend in Colorado, Sarah Holmes. This is her ice cream recipe.

Mix this glaze up with tequila, lime juice, olive oil, and spices and rush over salmon.

This is a cake made from wheat flour, sour milk, and strawberry jam.

This recipe came from my grandmother, who got the recipe from Faye Cox. I don’t know who Faye Cox is, but this is a Jello dessert with several layers. It is probably actually called Strawberry Pretzel Salad. When I first read the title (when transferring recipes here) I thought it was a soft pretzel with strawberry flavor.

This salad calls for orange gelatin, crushed pineapple, apricots, marshmallows, and pineapple or apricot juice.

This Jell-o salad needs frozen strawberries, bananas, crushed pineapple, and sour cream.

Just a simple pastry dough recipe.

The title of this recipe is “torte” but it isn’t really a torte. It isn’t really a pavlova either. Trying to find a recipe just like this one is impossible. But this is a traditional Christmas dessert in my family. It requires a DOZEN eggs. When it bakes, it ends up with a nice crunchy coating. It is covered with whipped cream.

I believe this is a classic Amish recipe.
