GREAT GRANNIES BUTTER SAUCE




This sauce is to pour over plum pudding and is excellent.  Granny Whalen died around 1970 at 95 years old.  She passed this recipe down to my grandmother and then to my mom and then to me.  She was a midwife in Quebec.

2 eggs
2 cups white sugar
Beat this until frothy and add 1 cup melted butter, Beat again and add 4 tbsp vinegar and cook in a double boiler very slowly (1/2 hour) do not boil.

Combine in saucepan mashing tomatoes, cook approximately 10 minutes just enough to marry the flavors.  When dough has raised 2 hours put on floured board and work out air bubbles.  Roll with a rolling pin thin to fit greased sheets.  spread sauce over dough adding chopped green peppers, mushrooms and whatever topping you like.  Grate 1 lb mozzarella cheese and put on top.  

 Fettuccine Sauce


In this recipe you can add any fresh vegetable that you would like or you can serve with none.  My kids love broccoli in it.  The other thing you can do is exchange the chicken for just about anything, beef, pork, whatever meat you like.

3 Chicken Breasts, cooked and cut up
3 tablespoons butter
1 small onion chopped up small
2 cloves garlic
1/2 cup grated parmesan
2 cups heavy cream ( I use either table or whipping cream)
black pepper to taste
1 cup milk
2 tbsp corn starch
  1. Start a large pot of abundantly salted water to boil and begin cooking the pasta. In a large saute pan, melt two tablespoons of butter over medium high heat. When the butter is foaming, add the onions and garlic and saute.  Once the onions are clear, add in the cream and Parmesan.  Continue cooking slowly add in the milk and cornstarch this will start to thicken the cream broth.
  2. When the pasta is cooked al dente, drain and add the cream liquid and toss the pasta and contents until the butter has melted and coated the pasta.  Grind in black pepper to taste. Serve immediately.

Easy Peasy Spaghetti Sauce



2 bottles of home canned tomato sauce (or if you must 2 (28 oz) big cans of crushed tomatos)
1 good tablespoon crushed garlic
2 pinches of Italian Seasoning
1 good tablespoon oregano
2 tsp basil
¼ cup dried onion flakes
1 tsp sugar (takes the acid out of the sauce)
I also add a pinch of celery seed

You can also add some green peppers if you like, I do but they don't know it.  I put them in the blender and crush them and then add it to the sauce they never know what they are eating.  I hide good things everyday into their food.  Of course they hate green peppers, onions and such so I grind them up and mix them in, they never know.  Of course if they read this they will.

Mix all ingredients together and cook on a low heat for 15 minutes, I mean like on 3 or 4 on your dial.  Then add your cooked hamburger.  Don't cook your sauce for hours, I find the sooner you eat it the better it tastes, the flavors don't get lost in the cooking or vaporized away.

While your sauce is cooking, bring well salted water to boil ( I add about 1/4 cup of salt to a big pot) and cook your pasta, when the pasta is ready, serve with the sauce.
