When Aunt Effie passed away in September of 1979, all of her things were dispersed to all the family. Some went to Jerry's house, some to Ed's; Grandma and Grandpa kept a few things, and Grandma gave to me the two donkey planters that used to sit on a shelf in Effie's kitchen, two of her homemade aprons, and three of her cookbooks. Later on, in the 90's, Grandpa had a plastic garbage bag with quite a few glass items that had belonged to Effie, many cracked and broken because of the lack of care, and I got to go through these items choosing a few more things that had belonged to Effie. These sit up on my shelf above the books in my dining room. I cherish all of these things and their link to Aunt Effie from so long ago.
Hand-written in Effie's hand were several recipes in the three cook books, and I print them here for all of you to try and enjoy. Some recipes do not have directions, and some directions on the recipes are not clear at all; you will have to figure them out for yourself.
Graham Cracker Ice Cream
1/2 cup sugar
1 pint coffee cream
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1 tsp. vanilla
Combine and freeze; when partly froaen, take out and whip until smooth and fluffy; continue freezing.
1 pint is 16 ounces or 2 cups.
Graham crackers are easily crumbed in a blender or food processor.
