Lumberton and Mebane Women Share Recipes, 1935

In the March 1935 issue of the Carolina Co-Operator (formerly The Carolina Cotton Grower), North Carolina women shared recipes in the magazine’s “The Woman’s Touch” column

Brown Sugar Pie

1 cup brown sugar

1 egg

3 tablespoons sweet milk

2 tablespoons melted butter

1 teaspoon vanilla

Mix ingredients and beat well. Pour into unbaked pie shell and bake until brown enough for meringue. Raisins and a little coconut add much to the filling and may be used if desired.

--Mrs. N.A. Kinlaw Jr., Lumberton, N.C.

Fruit Flummery

Placed canned cherries, blackberries or dewberries in a sauce pan and add enough water to weaken juice some (1 pint to 1 quart of water to 1 quart of canned fruit). Bring to a boil and then add 3 heaping tablespoons cornstarch dissolved in a little water. When good and thick, pour in bowl and let it get good and cold. This is grand served with cream or whipped cream.

--Mrs. Harvey Mann, Mebane, N.C.
