Aunt Birdie's Pear Pie Cake

Aunt Birdie was a wonderful cook - she did tons of her own canning, etc.  This is a recipe for a cross between a cake and a pie, and it is wonderful with whipped cream or ice cream.

Peel and slice the pears.  Put them into a 9 by 9 pan.
Sprinkle with 1/2 c sugar with a bit of cinnamon.  (Don't necessarily use sugar if pears are really sweet).

Mix:
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup margarine
1 egg
1/2 cup flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp salt

Put on top of pears.

Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes.

Crayon Soup


This is a dessert that my mom used to make, called Cracked Ice Cake.

My kids were small at the time and they wanted me to make it one day, and they only way they could describe it was as "Crayon Soup" so Crayon Soup it became.
 

Get three different colours of jello - for a single batch get the small boxes.  Double everything for a double batch.

Set each of the three boxes of jello using 1 /12 cups of water instead of two cups.  Put each one in a separate bowl and let them set overnight.

The next morning, prepare a 9 x 9 pan with a graham cracker crust.  Use crumbs with melted butter and add a little cinammon.  Pat it into the crust and bake for about 10 minutes till the crust has hardened.

Take 1/2 pint of whipping cream - whip it and add one envelope of gelatin which has been softened in 1/4 cup of hot water.

Add one can of crushed pineapple including the juice.

Let this cream and gelatin and pineapple set for a few minutes till it cools. 

Cut up the jellos in cubes and put them in a bowl.  Fold in the cream mixture.

Turn the whole mixture into the graham cracker crust and let it set for a few hours.

This is a great dessert - very light and colourful.
