Hello Phaedrus,
I would be most appreciative if you could find a recipe for Silta.It is a sort of head cheese
that is Swedish in origin. Veal is one of the ingredients. Mom used to make it for New Year's
Eve parties. She would cook a combination of meats (I don't remember the other one) until it
was all a gelatinous mass. Then she put it all in a small square pan that was lined with cheesecloth.
It would chill for at least eight hours and was served in one inch cubes with chinese hot mustard.
It was always a hit at her parties and I would love to have that recipe.
Thank you,
Katie
Hi Katie,
There's a recipe here:
E-How
And two below.
Phaed
Sylta - (Swedish Jellied Pork and Veal Loaf
1 (2 pound) boneless pork shoulder
1 pound veal or beef shanks
4 cups water
1 medium onion, cut into 1/2-inch slices
6 whole allspice
4 whole cloves
1 bay leaf
1 tablespoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 envelope unflavored gelatine
1/4 cup cold water
1 tablespoon vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
Trim fat from pork. Heat pork, veal, 4 cups water, the onion, allspice, cloves, bay leaf,
1 tablespoon salt and the pepper to boiling in Dutch oven; reduce heat. Cover and simmer until
meat is tender, about 1 1/2 hours.
Remove meat from broth; cool meat slightly. Remove meat from bones. Finely chop meat or put
through fine blade of food chopper. Strain broth. Sprinkle gelatine over 1/4 cup water in saucepan.
Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until gelatine is dissolved, about 3 minutes.
Mix meat, 2 1/2 cups of the broth, the gelatine, vinegar and 1 teaspoon salt; pour into ungreased
9 x 5-inch loaf pan. Cover and refrigerate until firm, at least 6 hours. Unmold onto platter; cut
into slices. Garnish with celery leaves and pickled beets if desired.
Yields 6 servings.
----------------------
Sylta "Scandinavian Christmas Meat"
3-4 lbs. veal shoulder
1 (3 lb. - approximately) veal shank, cut in 3 pieces
4-6 lbs. pork butt (loin or shoulder)
2 med. onions
Juice from meat
Salt and pepper
Put meat in a large kettle and fill with enough water to just cover the meat. Bring
to a boil, then simmer 2-2 1/2 hours until tender when tested with fork. Do not add any
salt and pepper during cooking. When temder, take the meat out, separate veal from pork,
and save the juice. Slice and cube meat when hot (no longer than 10-20 minutes, cooled).
Cut as fine or coarse as you want. Finely chop 2 medium onions. In three 9 x 9 inch square
glass cake pan or could use 9 inch round glass cake pans, make layers of meat, salt and pepper
and onions and repeat as many layers as desired to the depth of 1-1 1/2 inches (about 3 layers).
(Start with pork, veal and pork). Skim most of the grease off the top of the juice. (If more
liquid is needed a cup of water could be added with 1 package Knox gelatin). Bring juice to boil.
Immediately ladle juice over meat just to the top. Put fork through layers to allow juice to get
to the bottom. Allow to set in refrigerator or cold place (don't freeze). Cover with Saran wrap
and then with aluminum foil. After cooking the meat the whole process takes about an hour.
Serving suggestions: Serve Sylta with Limpa or other Scandinavian breads or caraway breads,
mustard and pickled beets, etc.

Hello Karen,
Actually, there is a very small amount of cheese in the sauce for flavor. See below for two recipes.

Woolworth's Vanilla Peanut Butter Pie recipe
1/3 cup peanut butter
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 box instant vanilla pudding
1 baked pie shell
Cool Whip whipped topping
Mix peanut butter and confectioners' sugar; crumble.
Prepare instant pudding according to package directions. Spread most of
crumble on bottom of baked pie shell. Pour prepared pudding over. Cover with Cool
Whip. Sprinkle with remaining crumble. Chill at least 1 hour.
ago, a friend worked the Woolworth’s lunch counter in Birmingham. Her
specialty was Peanut Butter pie. For some time, I had the recipe but managed to
lose it. This is what my brother and I have cobbled together from what we
remembered.
12/23/2004
Geneva's Peanut Butter Pie
(with Alan's improvements)
1 box Pudding, the kind you cook with milk
2 cups Milk (lately I use soymilk)
1 cup Peanut Butter (smooth or crunchy)
1 cup Powered Sugar
1 prepared Pie shell
1. Prepare pudding according to package instructions.
2. Mix the Peanut Butter with the powered sugar. Add more
sugar if the peanut butter is still sticky.
3. With mixer, combine pudding mix and peanut butter mix.
4. Pour into pie shell and allow to cool.
Makes 8-12 servings.
The Elvis variation:
Use Banana pudding and it tastes just like a banana and peanut butter
sandwich.
My Great-Grandfather Bill came to Mississippi from Southwest Indiana in the 1870s with his brother
and their mother.
Below are some old-fashioned Indiana recipes.
Hoosier Fried Biscuits
1 pkg. active dry yeast
2 tbsp. warm water
2 tbsp. granulated sugar
2 c. milk
1 tsp. salt (optional)
About 3 c. all-purpose flour, divided
1/4 c. vegetable oil
Vegetable oil for deep frying
Dissolve yeast in warm water. Add sugar and stir thoroughly. Heat milk slightly. Put milk
and yeast mixture in a large mixing bowl or bowl of an electric mixer. Stir to mix. Stir salt,
if used, into 1 cup of the flour. Gradually add flour mixture to yeast mixture, beating well.
While beating, add 1/4 cup oil and enough of the remaining 2 cups flour to make a soft workable
dough. Beat with a dough hook or knead dough until it is smooth and elastic. Grease a large bowl;
add dough and turn to coat all sides. Cover with waxed paper and a cloth. Let rise until double
in bulk. Punch down dough. Have oil heated to hot, but not smoking. Oil should be deep enough
for deep frying. Pinch off dough, about the size of a large walnut for small biscuits, and roll
lightly in palms of hands to make a round ball. Drop balls, a few at a time, into hot oil. Balls
will sink to the bottom and then rise. Cook until golden brown on one side, then turn to cook other
side (sometimes balls turn by themselves in oil). Cook until biscuits are golden brown. Drain on
paper towels. Serve fried biscuits with apple butter, honey, butter, jelly, or a sprinkling of
confectioners' sugar. NOTE: If desired, fry half of dough. Cover and refrigerate remaining dough.
Use refrigerated dough within 2-3 days. For rolled biscuits, punch down dough, then roll on a
flour-dusted board to about 1/2 inch thickness. Cut into 3-inch rounds. Place on a greased baking
sheet and let come to room temperature. Bake at 400 degrees for 10-15 minutes.
-------------------------------
Salt Pork Cake
1 lb. fat pork, NO lean
1 1/2 pts. boiling water
1 tbsp. baking soda dissolved in water
4 c. brown sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
6 c. flour
1 tbsp. cloves
2 tbsp. cinnamon
2 lbs. raisins
1 c. nuts
1 lb. dates
Grind salt pork and stir into boiling water and soda for 5 minutes. Add sugar and dates, stirring
until cool. Add remaining ingredients. Bake at 325 degrees for 75 minutes. Check for doneness with
a toothpick. This will make several loaf pan cakes.
------------------------------
Turnip Greens With Corn Meal Dumplings
Turnip greens
fatback or salt pork
1/2 c. sifted flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. garlic
1/2 c. yellow corn meal
1/8 tsp. pepper
1 egg
1/4 c. milk
1 tbsp. melted butter
Cook turnips with pork until done using plenty of liquid. Remove turnips. Sift dry ingredients
into mixing bowl; add egg, milk and butter. Stir until batter is well mixed. Drop dumplings by
teaspoonfuls into simmering broth. Cover tightly and simmer for 15 minutes. Do not lift cover while
dumplings cook. Yield: 4 servings.
