I’m not sure I could make these potatoes look quite as neat as they have in the photo, but it’s always handy to have a good potato dish to serve with a roast or a b-b-que and this does look very good.

APPLE CRUMBLE
My guess is that this recipe was one of the original ones Mum started out with after she married in 1941. I wouldn’t be surprised if it came from my paternal grandmother, who Mum lived with while Dad was overseas in the airforce during WW2. The piece of paper looks very well used.
APPLE CRUMBLE
- ½ cup of Self Raising Flour
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons coconut
- 1 tablespoon butter
Mix together to make the crumble. Cook apples, let cool and put crumble on top. Bake in a moderate oven 180o until the crumble is brown, about 30 mins.
MARS BAR SLICE
These are a step up from the usual Chocolate Crackles – extra luscious!!!!
THREE NUT PIE
This combination of pecans, macadamias and almonds with brown sugar and corn syrup makes a lovely sweet and nutty dessert, which you can serve either warm or cold.
PEANUT HONEY SLICE
I know that cooking with nuts is not as popular these days because of all the allergy problems, but I thought this old recipe was still worth adding to the collection.
PEANUT HONEY SLICE
- 4 cups Rice Bubbles
- 1 cup peanuts
- ½ cup coconut
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 125g butter (not margarine)
- 125g sugar
Place rice bubbles, peanuts and coconut in a bowl. Boil honey, butter, sugar for 5 mins – only. Pour over dry ingredients and bake 5 mins only in 180o oven. Mark while hot and recut when cold.
BAKED JAM ROLY POLY
This is my Mum’s alltime favorite dessert. I can remember sitting at the kitchen table tucking into a lovely bowl of it when I was a kid and I know Mum had been making it for a long time before I came onto the scene. I haven’t found her original recipe, but this is the same as the one she made.
ALMOND CRISPS
When my children were at school I used to bake a batch of biscuits at least once a week and these were a great favourite. I must have written this recipe out for Mum grabbing the first bit of paper I could find and used a texta to write with, not a great piece of penmanship. It comes out of one of my biscuit cookbooks that was published in the 60s, but I made them a lot later than that. You’ll need 125g of butter.
CARAMEL PEARS
This is a recipe I used to make for dinner parties in the 1980s. Mum must have asked for the recipe and my daughter wrote it out for her and added the lovely drawing. Needless to say she did not go onto becoming an artist….
MARSHMALLOW BISCUITS
These were definitely an afternoon tea delight. Coming home from school to find some of them left on a plate after Mum’s friends had gone home was a marvellous treat. With a bit of luck there were a few sandwiches and other goodies left as well. Argh, the good old days when there was time to have fancy afternoon teas………………….
MIXED FRUIT CRUMBLE TOP
As you can see this recipe comes from a publication called WOMAN and is dated November 12, 1951. Must admit I’ve never heard of the magazine, but fruit crumbles have been around for a long, long time so it’s not surprising this recipe dates back that far. The difference with this recipe is that it uses bananas mixed in with the apples and I think that would taste great, especially with a little ice cream or cream on top.
