Subject: Baked Beans using molasses and chili sauce
I have lost my recipe using Brer Rabbit molasses for baked beans. The recipe
was on the back of a brer Rabbit bottle that I had in 1982. The ingredients
were beans, bacon, brown sugar, chili sauce and molasses but I do not know
quantities, etc. I remember baking the beans in the over for a long time.
Can you find this recipe for me. I would certainly appreciate it.
Thank you,
Jan
Hi Jan,
I cannot locate any baked beans recipe that calls for Brer Rabbit molasses by
name and also has chili sauce.
There are several recipes with the ingredients that you list but that just say
"molasses" without naming any brand. Below are two of those.
Phaed
Baked Beans
3 lb. can of great northern beans
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. dry mustard
1 tsp. ginger
1/4 c. brown sugar
2 tbsp. dark molasses
2 tbsp. vinegar
1 med. onion, diced
4 or 5 slices bacon, diced
1/2 c. Heinz chili sauce
Combine ingredients with beans and bake in slow oven (100 degrees) or crock pot
for 6 to 8 hours.
---------------------------------------
Baked Beans
2 (16 oz.) cans baked beans
3 tbsp. onion, grated
3 tbsp. celery, chopped
3 tbsp. brown sugar
3 tbsp. dark molasses
3 tbsp. vinegar
3 tbsp. catsup or chili sauce
2 tsp. mustard
1/8 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
4 strips bacon
Mix all ingredients together except bacon. Place into 2-quart casserole; cover
with bacon strips and bake 2 hours on 325 degrees.
The flavor is improved if the beans are mixed several hours before baking.
Makes 8 servings.
UPDATE:
Stan sent photos of an actual Brer Rabbit Molasses jar with the recipe. I've transcribed the recipe
from the jar below.

Subject: Pineapple cheese pie recipe request
Dear Phaedrus
I had a very old recipe given to me by my Aunt for a Pineapple Cheese Pie not cake.
It had a homemade crust with a cream cheese filling, and what was most unusual was
that you used the pineapple juice from the canned pineapple mixed with cooked vanilla
pudding for the topping, I can't find the recipe and would love to make this delicious
pie again. Thank you for your help.
Elaine
Hello Elaine,
Sorry, I can't find a recipe that fits your description.

Subject: Dodge City Cake
My son-in-law said that this grandmother used to make a "Dodge City Cake"
and it was delicious. He doesn't remember much at all about it other than
the name and how good it was. I have searched the usual internet places
and cannot find it. Is there any chance that you may be able to help.
He remembers it from 35-45 years ago.
Thank you,
Terri
Hi Terri,
Wish I could help, but I cannot find any mention at all of a "Dodge City Cake",
either on Internet or in any of our other references. I have several "cowboy"
cookbooks, and it's not in any of them.

Subject: Red Pig Sour Slaw recipe
Dear Uncle Phaedrus,
I would appreciate your trying to find the recipe for the Sour Slaw from
Red Pig Barbecue in Johnson City, TN. The restaurant specializes in NC-style
barbecue ( not sweet, but vinegar-based sauce). The slaw looks to contain
only cabbage and tomatoes, and is sour and salty, with no taste of sugar at
all, and it complements the BBQ perfectly.
The restaurant has been operating for many years, but I've never managed to
get the recipe from one of the employees.
Thanks,
Dan
Hello Dan,
Sorry, I had no success at all with Red Pig's slaw recipe. I'll post this
on my site in case a reader can help.

It had a distinctive taste..like there was a little vingeratte "kicker" to it..
Do you by any chance have a recipe on how to make that dressing?
Boy do I miss the Bill Knapp's restaurants.
Thanks so much for your time.

Hello Judy,
Sorry, I had no success with this. There are requests for this on Internet
message boards that are up to 6 years old with no success.
