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.

Carmel Apples

Homemade carmel apples! When we would beg to buy them at the football games (back during day games when the whole school went to the game because it was during the school day - no lights on the football field) Mom would make these, using the apples from our trees. If we didn't have sticks we saved from popsicles we stuck forks in the apples instead.

1 cup sugar
1/2 cup white Karo syrup
1 small can condensed milk

Put sugar, syrup and milk in a heavy kettle. Stir to blend well. Heat slowly until sugar is melted. Boil to firm ball stage (242˚). Select small apples free from blemishes. Wash and dry thoroughly. Stick firmly on wooden skewers. Dip apples in caramel mixture, twirl to get rid of surplus coating and make smooth. Stand apples in holes in a heavy board that will permit drying without marring coating or place on buttered platter. If coating becomes too hard for dipping, add a little condensed milk and reheat. The caramel should be kept quite hot so that coating will not be too heavy.
