Uncle,

I am trying to find a recipe for Babe Ruth's Barbecue Sauce Recipe.

I believe it included Butter and Beer, that I all know.

Can you help me find this recipe?

Larry 

Hello Larry,

I read that the Babe mixed up a gallon or so of his special barbecue sauce before he went on hunting trips. So, I know that he had his own recipe, but I cannot locate it on the Internet. I'll post the request on my site - perhaps a reader can help.

Hi Loran,

Sorry, I had no success. I could not find a "sunshine casserole" recipe with those ingredients or another casserole recipe with those precise ingredients. Most have sausage or bacon. I will post this on the site - perhaps a reader can help.

Chocolate Brazil Nut Pound Cake

I am looking for a recipe for Chocolate Brazil Nut Pound Cake.  My mother, who is 98, 
lost the recipe years ago and thinks about it still.

The recipe involved ground Brazil nuts but no fruits. The cake was to be baked in a 
10 inch round tube pan and then decorated by setting a doily over the top and dusting 
confectioners sugar over to make a pattern.

We think the recipe came from the Detroit News in the late 1950's.

Bananas with Red Sauce

Dear Uncle Phaedrus,

I have searched the internet for a recipe for several years with no luck. 
I am hoping you can help me.  Several years ago I ate at a Shoney's Restaurant 
when we were traveling and I had an item from the buffet.  It was sliced bananas 
in a red sauce (could be jello and could be strawberry or raspberry or even cherry 
flavor) that was not too thick or thin.  I have seen it occasionally on other buffets 
I have eaten at.  The only similar recipe I have found used strawberry glaze from 
the supermarket which is way too thick and sweet.  I would really appreciate any 
help you can give me in re-creating this simple but wonderful dish.

Thank you for you help,

Connie 

Hi Connie,

Sorry, I could not find this. I'll post it on the site so that perhaps a reader can help.

Margaret found this on a message board:

"I used to work for shoneys about 10 years or so ago. I worked on the salad bar 
so sometimes I had to make the strawberry & bananna salad. pinkish glaze on the 
fruit is strawberry glaze, you can find it in a bottle in the produce section. 
It is the same stuff we used on our strawberry pies. "
