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 Frosting

We made either chocolate frosting, 7 minute frosting or this carmel frosting for cakes. We put this frosting on spice cakes or applesauce cakes. Grandma Klecker used to also use a similar frosting for her cakes. Her recipe is with the Spice Cake recipe I posted.

1-1/2 cups brown sugar (well packed)
1/2 cup white sugar
1 cup milk
1 T butter
1/2 tsp. vanilla

Boil sugar and milk until mixture reach soft ball stage. Add butter and remove from fire. Cool until lukewarm, beat until creamy.
