1 egg, at room temperature
1/4 cup molasses

Add to molasses mixture; mix well.
Chill dough 1 to 2 hours.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Form 1-inch balls; dip in sugar.
Bake 8 to 10 minutes.


Shaker Lemon Pie
This is a simple, but unusual recipe from the Shaker community of the past. You will see that the true flavor of the lemon is in the rind.

2 Uncooked 9-inch pie shells (freshly made or frozen)
2 Lemons, large
2 cups Granulated sugar
4 Eggs

Slice the whole lemons (peel and all) into paper thin slices (a mandolin slicer works well).
Remove any seeds you may see.
Toss the slices with the sugar.
Allow to rest 3 to 4 hours, stirring frequently.
Beat the eggs and add them to the lemon mix.
Place the mixture in one of the pie crusts (inside a pie pan).
Invert the second crust over the pie to form the top crust.
Seal the edges and trim off any excess.
Place a small slit in the top crust.
Place in a pre-heated 425 oven for 15 minutes.
Reduce the temperature to 350 and cook for 20 minutes longer or until the pie is lightly browned.
Serves 8

GREEN TOMATO PIE
Wow--something to do with green tomatoes besides fry them! Try this recipe on anyone you know who loves fruit pies, and don't tell them at first what's in it. They'll love the pie--and be astonished to learn that the primary ingredient is tomatoes. Serves 8.

Unbaked pastry for 9-inch 2-crust pie
1-1/4 lb green tomatoes (about 5)
3/4 cup raisins
1-1/2 tsp grated lemon rind
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp cider vinegar
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup sugar
3 tbsp flour
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp ground ginger
1 tbsp fine breadcrumbs
2 tbsp butter or margarine

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash tomatoes; cut in quarters and slice
very thin. Put into a 3-qt bowl; stir in raisins, lemon rind, lemon
juice, vinegar, and salt.

Blend sugar with flour and spices. Line pie pan with pastry; sprinkle
evenly with breadcrumbs. Add 2 tbsp of sugar mixture. Add remaining
sugar mixture to tomato mixture.

Turn tomato mixture into pie pan, spreading evenly. Dot with butter.
Moisten rim of pastry and lay on top crust. Press gently all around to
seal. Trim and crimp edges. Bake 15 minutes; reduce heat to 325
degrees and bake 50 minutes longer. Cool on rack 2-3 hours before
serving.



BROWN SUGAR PIE
I know it's hard to imagine making a pie that requires an entire pound of brown sugar. But the incredible, caramelly results, served warm with a dollop of slightly sweet whipped cream, are truly marvelous.
Serves 8 to 12.

9-inch unbaked pie shell
1 pound light brown sugar
4 tablespoons flour
3 eggs, at room temperature
3/4 cup melted butter
3/4 cup Half and Half

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a mixing bowl, combine sugar and flour.
Beat in eggs one at a time, scraping the bowl after each addition.
Gradually add butter and Half and Half; mix until well combined.
Pour into pie shell; bake 40 to 50 minutes, until set.

SHOO-FLY PIE
No wonder bakers of the past had to shoo flies away as this pie cooled in the window--it's more than a little sweet. But it's also delicious, quick, and easy to make, and a real trip back through time. If you wish, you can serve pieces of the pie topped with whipped cream.
Serves 8.

1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
1/2 cup molasses
1/2 cup boiling water
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1-1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Mix molasses, water, and baking soda.
Pour into pie shell.

Cut together flour, sugar, and butter with a pastry blender or two
forks, until mixture resembles crumbs.
Sprinkle over molasses mixture.
Bake 25 minutes, until crust is browned.

sheet.
Bake in a 325 degree oven for 10 to 12 minutes or till edges are lightly browned.
Cool 1 minute on cookie sheet and transfer to wire racks to set.

Frozen banana mousse

3 bananas
2 eggs
3/4 cup milk

Some of these other recipes are in swedish others well IF Interested I
will post them as written but most seem to assume the cook knows a lot more about what's going on than I do:p

If anyone in Ohio has ever been to Zoar village, this recipe comes from there. It's a village that was founded in the early 1800s as a religious community, and most of the original buildings are still there and have been restored. It's a very pretty place, and there's a fantastic used bookstore and a tavern that serves really good bratwurst.

Zoar ginger cookies:

1 cup shortening
2 eggs
2 cups sugar
1 t. salt
1 & 1/2 t. cinnamon
1 & 1/2 t. ginger (yes, these amounts are correct, these cookies are spicy!)
1 & 1/2 Tb. baking soda
1 Tb. baking powder
1 t. vanilla
4 & 2/3 cups flour
1 cup molasses

Cream shortening, eggs, and sugar. Add spices, salt, baking powder and soda, vanilla, and half of the flour and half of the molasses. Beat well, add rest of flour and molasses. Roll out on floured board, cut with cookie cutters. Bake at 350 for about 12 minutes or until cracks disappear from surface of cookies. Bake less time if softer cookie is wanted. Makes about 40 cookies.

Some people don't like these because they think they're too spicy, but I think they're wonderful. They're especially good dunked in coffee or hot chocolate, so I never put icing on them.

Slowly lift the pan and the pudding should slide out easily. Serve warm.

This is a cookie recipe that my husband's great-grandmother brought to America when they immigrated here from the Black Forest in the early 1900's. The recipe was handed down to great-grandmother from her mother and grandmother!

Dahubby's grandmother taught me to make these cookies when I was 19 and she was 85. I make them every Christmas, a double batch, and freeze half of them. My kids love these cookies and they freeze great, and I just pull them out in the summer, icen them and VOILA!

Dutch Cakes

3 cups molasses (good quality)
1 cup sugar
1-2 eggs
2 cups lard
1 1/2 tbsp. baking soda
1 teas. cinnamon
1/2 teas. EACH nutmeg, ginger, cloves
1 1/2 pound raisins, chopped (dredge lightly with flour for ease in chopping)
2 cups nuts, chopped
1/4 cup hot water
5 pounds flour

Warm molasses in large pot over very low heat. Mix in sugar, egg(s) and lard. Heat very slowly until sugar is dissolved, molasses has thinned and lard has melted, stirring occasionally. Add soda and water. Mix in spices. Add flour 2 cups at a time to make a stiff consistency.

These are very good, and not as much work as it seems. Chop your nuts and raisins a day or two ahead of baking day.
**You can't mix with with an electric mixer. It requires a very large bowl and you have to mix it with a VERY sturdy wooden spoon by hand. I have to get dahubby to finish stirring it towards the end, my arm gives out**

Take a portion of dough (about the size of a large grapefruit), knead in more flour if necessary to rolling consistency. Roll 1/8" thick. Cut into squares or rectangles about 2" (I use a pastry roller to cut, much faster) Bake on cookie sheets, greased lightly with lard. Cool on newspaper or towels.

Icing:
1 tbsp. oleo, 1 teas. vanilla and 2 tbsp. milk, heated til oleo melts.
Add sifted powder sugar to make a light glaze (add more milk or more powder sugar as needed) After cooling, icen cookies. If you are freezing some of these, freeze without icing.

Gramma Friedrich's German Fruitcake (pre 1850)

1 1/2 c prunes
1 c dried apricots
3 1/2 c raisins
1 1/2 c currants
1 1/2 c sliced pitted dates
2 1/2 c diced preserved citron
1 1/2 c diced preserved pineapple
1 1/2 c halved candied cherries
1 c diced preserved orange peel
1 c diced preserved lemon peel
1 1/2 c blanched almonds
1 1/4 c pecan halves
3 c flour
2 tsp allspice
2 tsp cinnamon
1 1/2 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp mace
1/2 tsp ginger
1/2 tsp powdered cloves
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 c shortening
1 1/2 c brown sugar
6 eggs
1/2 c molasses
2/3 c strawberry preserves

Preheat oven to 275 degrees. Grease and flour 2 9” tube pans.
Rinse prunes and apricots, cover with water and boil for 5 minutes; drain and cool. Cut prunes into pieces and slice apricots. Add the raisins, currants, dates, citron, pineapple, cherries, orange peel and lemon peel to the prunes and apricots. Sliver almonds and chop 1 cup of pecans coarsely; add to the fruit mixture. Sprinkle 1 cup flour over the mixture and mix well.

Mix the remaining flour with the allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg, mace, ginger, cloves, soda and salt, and set aside.

With mixer at medium speed, thoroughly beat shortening and sugar until light and fluffy; add eggs one at a time, beating until very creamy. With mixer at low speed, beat in alternately, in fourths, flour mixture, molasses and preserves just until smooth. Pour this mixture over the fruit mixture, mixing well.

Pack the mixture lightly into the pans, topping with the remaining pecan halves. Bake with a pan of water on the under rack to keep the cakes moist, for 3 to 3 ½ hours, or until done.

After baking, cool the cake. Wrap in rum or brandy soaked clean
rags, tie with string, and store for at least 2 weeks or indefinitely.
