2 egg yolks
14 1/2 oz can evaporated milk
1/2 cup peanut butter
2/3 cup sugar
1/8 tsp salt
Directions
Beat eggs well. Blend in the milk, peanut butter, sugar and salt and
pour into freezer tray. Freeze until almost hard then pour into a
bowl and beat until smooth. Return to freezer tray or molds and
freeze until firm. Makes 4 to 6 servings *Try this with a hot fudge
sauce and topped with peanuts. Chocolate bon bon Ice cream or other
favorite flavor hard chocolate topping: Make sure the ice cream is
hard frozen. Melt 12 oz of semi-sweet chocolate pieces and 1/2 cup
margarine in the top part of a double boiler. Remove from heat but
keep warm over hot water. Use a fork to dip ice cream balls into the
chocolate, working as fast as possible. When you've dipped about 10 -
12 pieces, place then in the freezer and continue the dipping. After
the chocolate is firm, you can wrap with foil or plastic wrap. For a
variation with vanilla ice cream, add 1 Tab instant coffee to the
melted chocolate. I have in a hurry, bought icecream at the market
and with a melon spoon dipped the ice cream out into small balls,
frozen them hard and then dipped in the chocolate as above. A quick
delicious treat when you want that something extra but don't have the
time to spend making it or if you have the time, after the first
dipping and letting the chocolate freeze hard, dip a second time.

The History of Recipes
It is possible to read the history of meal recipes way back into the distant past, in fact as far back as the Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. However, these, old cookbooks were just primitive pictorial recipes for preparing food.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to historians are a few stone tablets in Sumerian which show the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made anyone who tried it feel wonderful and blissful. Closer to modern times, there were a couple of interesting cookery books which were published in the 1300s ; one book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these two books have no connection with the curry that is familiar to us all today, but rather recipes for the types of food eaten by the rich people of the period. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and spices from the holy lands, including spices such as rosemary and coriander. The introduction of these new tastes created an explosion in manuscripts on food, most of which are now in private libraries. During the next few hundred years, the rich and powerful families of Europe tried to serve up the most extravagent meals, and consequentially chefs and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 19th century that formal cookery and recipe books rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, testing, and recording recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brings us celebrity chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on this recipe site. |
