Description
My name is Evelyn Ross. You had something sweet at the end of supper far more often than anybody today believes, and your mother paid almost nothing for it. My mama could put a dessert on the table in a week when the meat was gone and the butter dish had a scrape in the bottom of it, when the sugar sack was down to what she was guarding for canning season.
In this video I walk you through every one of them, the way my mama and hers made do.
In this video:
✓ The prune whip took its sweetness out of fruit
✓ Now, the cake
✓ And here is the one you had to go outside for
None of this needs a fancy name or a full pantry. It only ever needed someone willing to make do.
Try one of these this week. Then tell me in the comments what your own mother or grandmother made when there was not much to work with, and how she stretched it. I read every one of them.
Waste nothing, and remember, the women who fed a house through hard years knew things we are only just starting to remember.
