My great grandmothers recipe
Comments (10)ok cool.. here goes! 4 quarts sliced cucumbers 6 medium white onions 3 cloves garlic 1 green pepper 1 sweet red pepper 1/3 cup salt. Slice everything and cover with cracked ice, mix thoroughly and let stand uncovered in refrigerator for 3 hours. Drain. Combine 3 cups distilled white vinegar 4 1/2 to 5 cups sugar 1 1/2 tsp tumeric 1 1/2 tsp celery seeds 2 T. mustard seed. Pour over cucumber mix, bring to boiling. Seal in sterilized jars. *********** I'm wondering why not raw pack them instead? Maybe becuase these were probably not processed in a boiling water container (which I want to do) I'm thinking there is enough vinegar in here, but I"m certainly no expert. I'd love any opinions.. it would be wonderful to share this with my Mom since my great Grandmother passed away almost 20 years ago now. I'd appreciate any advice....See MoreNew bread recipe - Fruit and Nut Breakfast Bread
Comments (49)Teresa, this bread is so good even after making major screw ups. Decided to try it in the bread machine on dough cycle with baking in the oven. Just as I was preparing to drain the fruit and add it, I found out a person I'd contacted about getting some fertile chicken eggs from to set under my broody hen had six for me. Out of show quality roosters and for free. And he said come and get them now. The bell rang for the addition of the drained fruit and nuts. I knew I hadn't drained the fruit enough, but I was in a hurry. Took off and halfway to my destination realized the dough cycle would be over a good while before I'd get back home. Sorry, but I really wanted those special eggs. The guy showed me all his show birds and got a lot of info from him. By the time I got back home I think the dough cycle had been done for two hours. I had a very wet dough that had risen in the pan then collapsed. Oh well, try to save it. Dumped it out on a liberally floured surface and kneaded in more flour, put it in the pans and let it rise. It did rise a little over the top of the pans.Tried my best and stuck it in the oven. It came out at 25 minutes completely done and beautiful except I didn't get the fruit and nuts distributed well. I've already eaten nearly half a loaf. Love it! Next time I think I'll add more cinnamon, follow the recipe on draining the fruit and not running out in the middle of it to get fertile eggs.

Comments (46)Barbara, I've done a lot of bread searches, and found some interesting archives, lots of recipes of people's own childhood breads, but no clues about yours. What concerns me is the "My". The following words could actually say something like "Molly Jones shares her mother's famous egg bread." Otherwise, to me it seems more logical that it was your mother who said it, maybe even wrote it in the book. But it could be either way. My BH&G is newer than your mom's, but still old. There's one recipe called Egg Bread: 6.5-7.5 c. AP flour 2 packets ADY (equals 2 cakes fresh yeast, equals 4.5 tsp ADY) 2 c. milk 1/4 c. sugar 1/4 c. butter or margarine [N.B.--it does matter which for the texture, but either will make good bread.] 2 tsp. salt 3 eggs Two loaves, double rise, 375° F. 35-40 min., cover with foil last 15 minutes so it doesn't over brown. This is a very standard enriched bread. If you want a picture of the recipe with full directions let me know....See MoreAnnie's whole wheat bread recipe (?)
Comments (10)yes, Beachlily is right, that was a problem from the first time I posted the recipe and forgot to add the egg! I corrected the recipe but that old mistake just keeps coming back to haunt me! It's Elery's favorite bread and I made it just like you did, I let the bread machine do the work and then shape it and bake it in the oven. I've never made it without the egg, though, that's good to know in case I have a day when I'm out of eggs, so thanks for doing that "research". Now I don't have to. (grin) I have occasionally added half a cup of orange juice in place of some of the liquid, it gives a nice flavor and adds some acidity. Some people think whole wheat bread is bitter (although I love it) and the OJ seems to cut that. I think Grainlady also gave the scientific explanation of why to add citrus juice or acidity to bread dough, although the short version is that yeast likes an acidic environment and so the OJ creates an environment that yeast loves to grow in. You could actually do the same thing with a pinch of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) or a tablespoon of vinegar, but I like the orange flavor sometimes. Anyway, I'm glad you like it!
