Recipes

Scuppernong Pie  Recipe

3-4 cups scuppernong native grapes        
Water                
3 T butter
2/3 cup  sugar
2 T cornstarch    
1 T or more Cinnamon or Apple Pie Spice
Pastry for 2-crust pie

 
Preheat oven to 300 degrees  F.  Wash scuppernongs.  Use 2 medium-sized
enamel sauce pans; squeeze  pulp into one and use other for hulls.  Cover hulls
with water and cook  until tender, drain.  Cook pulp until soft enough to run
through sieve to  remove seeds.  Add to hulls.  Mix sugar and cornstarch.  Add 
scuppernong mixture and dot with butter.  Sprinkle with spice as  desired. 
Pour into pastry-lined pie pan, cover with strips of  pastry.  Bake until brown. 
Serves  6-8
Nip and Ernie's Brownies

1 stick of melted ole0
2 cup sugar
1 cup flour (plain
2 T. cocoa
2 eggs
1 cup nuts
2 teaspoons of vanilla
 

Mix sugar and cocoa; oleo, eggs and flour.  Stir in pecans and vanilla.  Place on a greased cookie sheet.  Bake about 15 minutes at 350.  Put 1 bag of marshmallows (about 25) on top and let melt.  Let cool. 

Icing
Sift 1 box confectioners sugar, 2 T. cocoa, 1 stick melted oleo and enough milk to spread.  Let set and cool. 
Note:  You may want to put the marshmallows on top of the brownies about the last 2 to 3 minutes of baking.  Watch carefully.  Overcooking will cause the brownies to be too dry.  It is better if the brownies are a bit moist.  Rosemary Edwards Andrews

Malunjin Indian Bread
flour
egg
milk
seasoning
syrup
I am not sure about the consistency or amounts, but I know I wish I knew more about this group of Indians that lived three to six miles northeast of Dothan near Webb and Kinsey.
