okay, I dug through my library of cookbooks and found both the 1963 lst printing of Joys of Jello and an anniversary book. There are several choices. One is jello,& pudding, cooked together and then when cooled you added Dream Whip, That picture looks pretty fluffy. But I used to just make jello, & add real whip cream. Thats a Bavarian. but there is also layered cheesecake, with graham crackers, cream cheese, light cream. It also helps if we know when this started because these recipes were popular at certain times. There was a product called 123 jello I think that came out fluffy because it had whipped topping or something in it. So all of those recipes came out pastel and fluffy. The carnation milk --do you know if it was condensed milk or evaporated? I'll give you the recipe as soon as you guess which it was or have more clues. Maybe there are family cookbooks, or you could remember what the cookbook looked like. the original was spiral bound with a red wineglass of jello on the cover.

Sorry all I have is the Sinbun Recipe ( Cinnamon Bunns or Sticky Bunns ) Lous Cinnamon Buns ------ SS Pan ,9 ½ in by 12 in by 2 ½ in deep Or Pyrex baking dish 3/4 stick of butter and 1 tablesp. Of Vegetable oil Pancake syrup , Brown Sugar and a little granulated sugar Cinnamon and Raisins Melt the butter in the pan and let it cool ( put it in the refrig. a few minutes) Level it across the pan and back into the refrig to harden. Take it out and Sprinkle very little oil and move it around with the back of a spoon. Dribble some pancake syrup all around the pan , then a little gran. Sugar Then lay in some brown sugar . Dont be chincey , leave some lumps. Last sprinkle ( good bit ) of Cinnamon and Raisins. You can also add some walnuts, If you want to. If you dont want to , dont do it but dont blame me , if you didnt Do and wish you had done , etc. Take half + of the recipe of the Braided Bread dough and roll it out to about 3/16 in thick ( 3 pennies ) You can do the dough in 2 pieces if it is easier. Try to roll them out to at least 16 in long. x 12 in. Sprinkle some pancake syrup, Sugar and cinnamon on the dough , then some raisins. Roll the dough up loosely, Making a 12 in. long Roll and cut into 1 in. pieces. Mark the roll ,at half way and half again before cutting., into 8 pieces. Do the same to the other piece of dough Place these pieces in the pan that you prepared , leaving spaces in between , because the dough will grow. Push them around with your fingers, to fill the pan evenly. When the dough is doubled , bake in a 320 degree oven , on a shelf near the top, for about 25 to 35 minutes or golden brown. You can Baste , with an egg milk mix, while baking. When it is removed from the oven , place a piece of aluminum foil over it and a large cutting board or cookie tin and then flip it over and remove the pan. If some of the goodies stay in the pan take them out right away and patch the Buns while the goo is still hot. WARNING !!!! Get away from them until they cool. !!!!!!!! You will burn your lips Now you can see if you used enough brown sugar and gooey stuff. . Braided Bread Everyone has their own way to do this, which is better. But! I like to cook and bake using easier ways, long as the end results are the same. I've used this recipe since I got out of the Army, a very long time ago and converted it from Army Baking (Large amounts )to Home Baking. It wasn't easy going from 4 Quarts to 4 cups , etc. But I worked it out. I got the results that I wanted and I'm passing it on to everyone . Here is the recipe: Luigis - - - Braided, Plaited Bread or Dough for Cinnamon Buns , Bagels, Etc. 2 cups of milk, (warm ) - - Sometimes I sub Powdered Milk 1 1/3 cup of Sugar 3 large eggs- beaten (save ½ egg w. a little milk for basting ) 1 tablesp.+ of Vanilla - - ½ cup + of oil - - ½ teasp. Salt 2 packs of Fleischmans Active dry yeast AP Flour - 3 cups to start ( probably about 6 total ) enough to knead into a soft ball that doesnt stick to your hands. I now substitute a cup of WW Flour. Makes it more tender. Stir the yeast in a 1/3 cup of warm water w. ½ spoon of sugar, to test it for raising. In a large mixing bowl, or (KA mixer) place the warm milk ( not hot ) add the sugar ,vanilla , salt & eggs Beat until the sugar is dissolved and add the Yeast and mix well. Add 1 cup of WW flour and 3 cups of AP flour and mix with mixer a few minutes. Add flour until you make a " soft " Ball of dough that doesnt stick to your hands. Dont make it too stiff , try to keep it a "soft dough." On the Work Top, Sprinkle some flour under the ball and Knead it until smooth. Place it in a large bowl, Rub some oil on top. Cover with a damp towel and place in a warm spot ( until double.) I usually turn my oven on for a few minutes to warm and shut it. Place a pan of hot water on the bottom shelf. Then place the dough bowl in the oven to rise. When ( doubled ) deflate and put it out of the bowl onto a floured worktop. Punch it down and knead the dough again. Then cut into 2 pieces ( 2 loaves ). Divide each piece into 3. Roll each of these 3 pieces into the shape of a sweet potato ( about 12 in long ). With the basting ( egg ) mixture and wet the tips of the 3 pieces and stick them together at one end . Then spread the other end the shape of an arrow While keeping the stuck ends down and away from you , twist each piece clockwise about 8 times and lay them down so you can Platt or Braid them and stick the other ends together There are other ways to Braid ( 6 Strands ) but I take the fast easy way to do things. Place the 2 shaped loaves on lightly oiled cookie tins, or in loaf pans. Preheat the oven to 400 deg. Spray some Pam on the loaves or brush with oil. This will keep them from drying while raising. When doubled in size (about 20 min.) place in the oven , top shelf and bake until slightly tan. Baste them with the egg mix and rotate them back into the oven and ( Turn temperature down to 325 deg.) Baste again when they are a dark tan. Cook till a rich brown, mahogany color. Take them out of the pans onto a rack to cool. Control yourself !!!! Let them cool !!! This sounds like a lot to do but it is easy and should take only 10 minutes to mix and shape. The most time is in the waiting for the dough to rise and for the bread to cool . But it do look great !!! & Professional This dough can also be used for Cinnamon Buns . I use it for Bagels too. I like the Hardly Noticeable, sweet taste.

I'm not sure how many lbs of asian pears i ended up with summer before last but i had at least 200lbs. I did dehydrate. Not my favorite method but was super in my granola. I prefer to freeze just the cut/sliced fruit. No stone fruit last year but lots of blueberries and raspberries. I dislike peeling much more that the peach skin, well, a toss-up. I don't make jams but do like it sometimes. I prefer the natural sweet from the fruit. So freezing is first. Dehydrating second. Apples and pears i cook down a bit with rhubarb, a bit of lemon, no added sugar....rhubarb softens quickly and coats them. Peaches are easier and freeze great layed out on a sheet pan, then in zip-locks. Can grab just what you need for breakfast or a smoothie. I've not made fruit powders but that's another good option after dehydrating. I did make scrap vinegar...i remember about 3 gallons. Very good. But that adds yet another 'event' to a busy harvest. It uses the peelings and takes a bit of fermentation understanding. (lots of tutorials if you do a google search) I grow organically so the crates i gave away at work, to friends, and the senior center, were well received and appreciated.

beebemae, yes, very old thread but always relevant. I don’t have a recipe for a crisp/cobbler combo. They do have different styles of toppings with one some type of dough (cobbler), and the crisp topping usually consists of a buttery/crispy base of flour, sugar, butter, oats and spices. This Apple Crisp recipe is followed with a peach version. I’ve used this crisp topping for years and think it’s especially good. Apple Crisp (Serves 8-10) 7-8 Granny Smith apples, peeled and cut into large chunks 1 cup dried cranberries (optional, but good!) 2 T. lemon juice 1/3 to 1/2 cup sugar (to taste) 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 cup plus 2 T. light brown sugar, packed 3/4 cup old fashioned oats 1/2 tsp. salt 1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon 1/2 tsp. nutmeg 10 T. cold butter, diced Optional: 1 cup pecans (or walnuts), lightly toasted and coarsely chopped Preheat oven to 375. In a large bowl, toss the apples, lemon juice and sugar until mixture is well combined. In a small bowl, stir together the flour, brown sugar, oats, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. With food processor or pastry blender, cut in/pulse the butter until mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in nuts. Spread the apple mixture in greased baking dish. The fruit should be about 2 to 2 1/2 inches deep. Sprinkle the topping evenly over apples. Bake the crisp for about 55 minutes or until bubbling and top is golden. Variation: For PEACH CRISP, use about 4 lbs. (7 or 8 large), peeled peaches cut into 1/2-inch wedges, 2 T. flour, 2 T. lemon juice and 1/3 to 1/2 cup sugar. Topping ingredients are the same as for Apple Crisp. Spread peach mixture in greased baking dish (I use an oval dish that’s approximately 10 ½ x 8 ½ x 3 - fruit should be 2 to 2 1/2 inches deep). Sprinkle the topping evenly on top. Bake at 375 for about 45-55 minutes or until bubbling and top is golden. Note: Adding about a pint of fresh blueberries, raspberries, boysenberries or blackberries with the peaches is also good.
