Vintage Recipes for Holiday Noodles and Raisin Apple Pie

Two wonderful old-fashion recipes to send you and your taste buds on a trip down memory lane!  Holiday Noodles offers the old-fashion taste of grandma"s noodles without all the hard work she put into them.  And Raisin Apple Pie will surely bring back memories of those wonderful old dessert tables whether at grandma"s house, family reunions, "dinner-on-the-grounds", etc. Holiday Noodles This is an old recipe from Reames Frozen Noodles. Mr. Reames was a personal friend of mine and he and his wife shared many recipes with me. Unfortunately, we lost Bill this year. But we will continue to enjoy his noodles forever. Thanks, Bill and Betty! 1/3 cup butter 1 cup thinly sliced celery 1/2 cup chopped onion 8 cups ready-to-serve chicken broth 1 pkg (16 oz) Reames Frozen Egg Noodles 1/2 tsp salt, if desired 1/4 tsp pepper 2 cups cubed cooked turkey (or chicken) 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley Parsley sprigs for garnish, if desired 1 tsp ground sage, optional Heat butter in a Dutch oven over medium heat until melted. Add celery and onion; cook about 3 to 5 minutes or until tender; stirring occasionally. Add broth and bring to a boil. Stir in noodles, salt, and pepper. Simmer, uncovered, about 35 minutes or until the noodles are tender. Stir mixture occasionally during cooking. Stir in turkey and parsley; heat through. Garnish with parsley sprigs, if desired. Add sage with salt and pepper, if desired. Note: To thicken slightly, stir together 1 tablespoon flour and 1/4 cup cold water until smooth. Stir into turkey and noodles. Bring to a boil and cook about two minutes or until smooth and thickened, stirring constantly. RAISIN APPLE PIE This recipe is from an old grocery store give-away recipe fold-out. It is from some Lard Company. That tells you if has to be old. How long has it been since you saw something like that? 4 cups sliced tart cooking apples 1 cup raisins, plumped* 1/2 to 3/4 cup sugar (depending on sweetness of apples) 2 tbsp flour 1/4 tsp salt 1 tbsp lemon juice 1 tsp grated lemon peel Pastry for a double-crust 9-inch pie 1 tbsp butter or margarine 1 tbsp milk Combine apples and raisins. Mix sugar, flour and salt; add to apples and raisins. Add lemon juice and peel and mix well. Place the apple raisin mixture in a pastry lined 9-inch pie pan. Dot mixture with butter or margarine. Top with another pastry circle. Fold the bottom pastry over the edge of top pastry and crimp edges together to seal. Cut small slits in top pastry to allow pie to breathe. Brush top with milk and sprinkle lightly with sugar. Bake in a moderate oven, 375 degrees, for 45 to 50 minutes, until lightly browned and filling is bubbly. *To plump raisins, cover with 1 cup loiling water and let stand for 10 minutes. Drain raisins thoroughly before using. Enjoy!

Swiss Maid Fudge - A Homemade Fudge Store That Old-Fashioned Candy-Lovers Adore
As the snow falls outside the window into perfect, fluffy drifts; as the voice of Bing Crosby croons softly from the hi-fi; as the lights on the tree are brightly reflected on the frosted window pane; you reach for the plate of goodies on the coffee table and are delighted to snag the last, sweet piece of luscious, homemade fudge. This might describe a Christmas from decades past, but can certainly be recreated in the present. Even the homemade fudge, an unlikely treasure in todayò€™s world of store-bought goodies, can be replicated thanks to the dedicated work of traditional candy-makers. Swiss Maid Fudge, a homemade fudge store in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin, has been churning out their signature chocolate fudge since 1962. With forty five years of practice, they have mastered the creation of the ultimate chocolate fudge; it tastes the same today as it did when they opened their doors for business. Family owned and operated, Swiss Maid Fudge sticks to the rules and techniques handed down through the family for generations. Having expanded from fudge to handmade caramel apples, salt water taffy, and more, they make all their candy by hand from scratch. Committed to the traditional candy-making process, they continue to make chocolate and candy the way it has always been done. They start by boiling candy ingredients in large, copper kettles set over an open, gas-fired cast iron stove. When it has reached its target consistency, the candy is poured out onto a confectionary table made of cool, solid marble to be mixed and molded into its final shape. To get the perfect creamy taste and texture that so many of us remember, Swiss Maid Fudge uses only all-natural ingredients, like 100% Wisconsin Sweet Cream Butter in their products. This old-fashioned, homemade fudge store adds no preservatives to their chocolates or candies so as not to risk tarnishing the flavor. Instead, they make their fudge and candy fresh daily, shipping it out to customers across the continental United States as soon as it is ready. Old-fashioned candy tastes best when itò€™s fresh, so Swiss Maid Fudge makes every effort to ensure that customers are getting the freshest possible product. Especially for the holiday season, Swiss Maid Fudge confectioners have created some new, seasonal variations of longtime customer favorites. Visitors to this homemade fudge store can place orders for cranberry walnut fudge, homemade gingerbread bark, white chocolate peppermint stick fudge and cool, dark candy cane truffles. With treats like these, Swiss Maid Fudge has generated a loyal following of candy-loving customers. Anyone with a candy-lover on their Christmas list this year will appreciate the online version of Swiss Maid Fudgeò€™s homemade fudge store. A special section of the online store is dedicated to Gift Ideas, including items such as the "For the Love of Chocolate" Gift Box Set, and the Fudge Flavor Gold Gift Box Set.
