Columbus Wisconsin, The Christians Family Cookbook Holiday foods Memorial Day Specialty Foods admin  

Memorial Day Pie 1950’s, May 31st

HOLIDAY RECIPES

These are from a nice set of books I got from Columbus, Wisconsin, belonging to a Mrs. Corinne Christians; they are mostly dated in the 1950’s, except one book is dated in the 1920’s.  She was likely a secretary as a lot of the recipes are written in shorthand; I will need to find someone who knows how to read that, I certainly do not!  I will be listing these in the Calendar section, as the dates come up during the year.

Memorial Day Pie

1 baked pie shell – spread 1 pkg choc wafers in bottom, put in oven till melted – spread around.  Prepare vanilla pudding & cool till luke warm – pour over choc. Mixture.  Chill.  Serve with whipped cream and grated choc. 

Pkg. = package; choc = chocolate
