A cute little recipe booklet from Ohio Apples titled: “New Ways To Serve”. Inside info states: Issued by THE OHIO APPLE INSTITUTE, INC. McArthur, Ohio. No date but there is a “12-53” with the issue info that could be the month/year.

There are a lot of recipes in this little booklet and I’d like to transfer them all online. This post will be long ;).

CANNING RECIPES YOU’LL ENJOY

APPLE JELLY

Use tart apples slightly underripe. Wash, cut into pieces. Use enough water to nearly cover. Cook 20 to 30 minutes. Mash. Let juice drip through jelly bag. The juice may be canned, or made into jelly immediately with equally good results. Work with small amounts of juice–about 6 to 8 cups at a time. Measure juice and sugar accurately, using 1 cup of sugar to 1 cup of juice. Heat quickly and boil rapidly until syrup reaches the jelly test. For this test dip a large spoon into the boiling syrup, and lift up the spoon so the syrup runs off the side. When several distinct drops cling together and “sheet off” the edge of the spoon the jelly is done.

Skim jelly and pour into glasses. Cover immediately with a thin layer of paraffin. Next day add second coat of paraffin. Crab apples may be used following the same procedure.

CANNING APPLES

Select uniform apples, wash, pare and core. Cut into desired size. If peeled fruit is to stand several minutes before packing, drop into slightly salted water to prevent discoloration. Drain. Drop in boiling syrup–thin–and cook until tender or transparent. Pack boiling hot into sterilized jars and seal.

APPLE BUTTER

10 pounds apples
8 quarts sweet cider
3 pounds sugar
2 tablespoons ground allspice
2 tablespoons ground cloves
3 tablespoons ground cinnamon

Wash, pare and core apples. Boil cider down to half the original amount. Add apples and cook until broken up. Add sugar and spices and cook to the consistency of fruit butter, stirring constantly to prevent scorching. Put into sterilized jars and seal.

CANNING APPLE SAUCE

Wash, pare, quarter and core apples. Cook in enough water to prevent burning. When soft, stir until smooth and press through a sieve. Add sugar to taste. Again heat sauce to boiling point and transfer immediately to hot jars or cans and seal.

Food needs to meet two requirements. It must be “good to eat” and “good for you”.

Apples meet both requirements perfectly. Apples are “good to eat” in hundreds of ways. A fresh, ripe, raw apple is delicious to the taste and at the same time cleanses the teeth and massages the gums. It is the base for fruit salads. Cooked they are supreme for pie, cobbler, baked apple, sauce, fried apple, butter, jelly, etc., etc.

1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup chopped nuts
1/4 cup corn syrup

Mock Filet of Beef
You can’t imagine how good this is! Very tender, juicy, still slightly pink–almost like tenderloin. And the sauce is delicious!–

1 2 1/2 to 3-inch eye-of-round steak, about 3 pounds
Nonseasoned meat tenderizer
—
1 cup catsup
1/3 cup Worcestershire sauce
1 cup water
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 clove garlic, minced

Sprinkle all sides of steak evenly with tenderizer, using 1/2 teaspoon per pound. Do not use additional salt. With long-tined fork, pierce all sides deeply at 1-inch intervals. Let stand at room temperature about 30 minutes. Meanwhile combine remaining ingredients for sauce and simmer slowly 30 minutes. Center steak on spit and tie securely with cord. Roast in electric barbecue rotisserie or slowly over charcoal on motorized spit about 1 1/2 hours or to desired doneness, basting frequently with the sauce. Meat thermometer will read 140° for rare, 160° for medium, or 170° for well done. To serve, slice steak on bias, across the grain; pass bowl of the sauce. Makes 8 servings.

Patio Broiled Chicken
Beautifully charcoal-browned and expertly seasoned with marinade–

1 cup salad oil
1/3 cup lemon juice, fresh, frozen, or canned
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon monosodium glutamate
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
—
2 ready-to-cook young chickens (about 2 pounds each), split in half lengthwise

Combine all ingredients except the chicken. Break drumstick, hip, and wing joints so birds will stay flat during broiling. Let chicken refrigerate in sauce at least 4 or 5 hours, turning occasionally. Place on grill with bone side or inside nearest the hot coals. Broil slowly. When well browned, 20 to 30 minutes, turn and brown skin side, brushing occasionally with sauce. Cook about 30 minutes longer or till tender. Makes 4 servings.

Cowboy Potatoes

Scrub potatoes throoughly. Cook in jackets in heavily salted water (3 tablespoons salt to 1 quart water). Drain; peel and slice. Season with pepper. Brown well in hot bacon fat over medium heat. Keep turning potatoes carefully so they get crusty brown on all sides.

Favorite of all kids–and many adults! You can omit the sauce, but it makes wieners so good–

1/2 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup catsup
1/4 cup salad oil

1 teaspoon thyme (optional)
—
12 slices bacon
6 frankfurters, cut in fourths
4 large dill pickles, cut in 1/2-inch chunks

Combine the first 6 ingredients for sauce. On each of 6 long skewers, you’ll have 2 slices bacon, 4 chunks frankfurter, 3 chunks pickle. Here’s how: Thread one end of bacon slice on skewer and weave loosely over and under pieces of frankfurter and pickles as you alternate them on the skewer. Grill over hot coals till bacon is crisp, 15 to 20 minutes, brushing frequently with the sauce, and turning the Totems. Makes 6 Totems (3 servings for out-of-doors appetites).
