Pineapple Muffin Cookies Recipe

Ingredients

1 cup shortening
1 1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
1 cup crushed pineapple with juice
3 1/2 cup flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped


Directions

A last minute substitute gave a new twist to an old Amish recipe for
raisin cookies. The cupboard was bare so leftover pineapple was
substituted for the raisins. Everyone preferred the pineapple
version. (Editor's Note: We called these Pineapple Muffins Cookies,
because they came out big and soft.)

Preheat oven to 350ø.

In a large mixing bowl, cream shortening, sugar and egg. When light
and fluffy, stir in crushed pineapple with juice.

Sift flour, baking soda, salt and nutmeg together and stir into
batter. When the mixture is well blended, stir in nuts.

Drop by teaspoonfuls 2 inches apart on greased baking sheets. Bake
at 350ø for 8-10 minutes. Cool on wire racks.

Yield: 5 dozen. Heather Hephner, Associate Editor, Food & Family Life,

The History of Recipes

Written recipes as a concept can be tracked way back into distant history, in fact as far back as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, sadly, these old cook books were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.

Progressing into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a few documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his works, Apicius describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main course and afters, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius informs us how the cooks of his times were skilled in the use of a good variety of spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs such as bay, rue and asafoetida.

In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and spices from Arab cuisine, including basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes prompted a torrent in manuscripts on food, the majority of which are now in academic collections.

By the arrival of the twentieth century, cookery publications were greatly in demand as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having more leisure time and having more money to spend.
