Pete Family Recipe Blog

I started this blog as a way of sharing the recipes in my mother's recipe boxes with my entire large family so everyone in the family can access any recipes they would like to have. My mom and dad both loved recipes and cooking. I think my mom liked baking better, and my dad loved to combine foods in new ways in cooking. The foods we ate while we were growing up are a memory that we all share. I'm sure my siblings will find a recipe or two that will spark some good memories. Please feel free to add recipes that I missed or send them to me and I will add them. I can also start a section of our favorite recipes if you send them to me.

Aunt Katherine's Applesauce Cake

2 cups sifted cake flour
1 tsp. soda
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. vanilla
3/4 tsp. cloves
1/2 tsp. allspice
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup shortening
1-1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
1 egg
1-1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce (if using sweetened applesauce reduce the sugar)
1 cup nuts (optional)
1 cup raisins
1 cup dates, chopped

Cook raisins a few minutes, then add dates to soften. Raisins and dates should be thick (I assume this means not using much water to cook them). Let stand a few minutes to cool.

The directions stop here - I assume you mix the ingredients and bake.
