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
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be observed far back into ancient history, at least as far into history as the ancient Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. However, these, old recipes were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
As we move into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled some scripts detailing recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his works, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and dessert, a very modern way of dining. He also tells us how the ancient Romans used a good variety of spices and herbs, including many that are still in use today for example bay, mint and parsley. In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us many spices and herbs from Arab countries, including spices like parsley and basil. The introduction of these new foods and spices prompted an explosion in recipe manuscripts, the majority of which are kept safe in private collections. When we get to the 1900s, cookery books were in great demand, mostly due to more people being able to read, people having increased free time and having more money. |
