Subject: Date/nut pineapple cake
Dear Uncle Phaedrus,
I am looking for a recipe that I made for my family in the 1970's. It was made
with a box of date bread mix and a box of nut bread mix and a can of crushed
pineapple. I'm sure there were eggs and maybe some vanilla but I have lost the recipe.
It was made in an angel food baking pan and was not frosted and very convenient for picnics.
I appreciate any help you can provide.
Thanks, Connie
Hello Connie,
Sorry, I had no success with this recipe.
Phaed
For Connie:
The Pillsbury Date or Nut Bread mixes are made by J.M Smuckers. You can find contact information at https://www.smuckers.com/contact
Perhaps they still have the recipe.

Subject: Bob and Ethel's Flint, Michigan
Hello,
For years I've been looking for a recipe for BBQ sauce from Bob and Ethel's
Rib Crib in Flint, Michigan. The husband and wife ran the joint from several
locations in the 60s, 70s and the last time I got ribs from Bob's was from the
basement of a church in the late 80s. Bob would never give out the recipe.
He said he got it from his father years ago in Texas. It was the best, sweet,
tangy and smoky. It was so good that folks from Detroit would drive the 60 plus
miles for his ribs. I've tried contact the local paper, The Flint Journal, with
no success.
Can you help?

Subject: finding a lost recipe
At my Mother's wake in Tucson, AZ, in 1980 her best friend brought a
chocolate bread pudding that was out of this world. She said the recipe
was an old family recipe. She was willing to share the recipe with the c
aution,"Do not lose this recipe. You will not be able to find it anywhere."
The main components of the pudding were wonder bread and hershey chocolate syrup.
The pudding was baked in a water bath. I managed to hang onto the recipe through
three moves, but the fourth move was a disaster. Please help me find this wonderful
pudding recipe. Many thanks, Suzy

Hi Suzy
Timm sent this recipe.
Phaed
Chocolate Bread Pudding is always a big hit around our house during the holidays. My family always insists I make at least one or two every year.
Here is the recipe I have used for many years:
Holiday Chocolate Bread Pudding
Ingredients:
3 loaves Wonder Bread or a soft brioche
4 cups brown sugar
15 large egg yolks
Two quarts heavy cream
3 cups Hershey’s syrup
Non-stick spray
5 cups Snickers or Milky Way candy bars, chopped
For Serving:
Ice Cream of choice
Additional Hershey's syrup
Caramel sauce
Instructions:
Cut the bread into 1-1/2 inch squares. In a very mixing bowl whisk together the egg yolks, brown sugar and heavy cream; whisk in the chocolate syrup.
Add the bread to liquid mixture and soak until 2/3 of the liquid has been absorbed. Coat a 4 inch deep hotel pan with non-stick spray. Place the
chocolate bread mixture in the hotel pan and sprinkle the chopped bars on top. Additional chocolate syrup may be drizzled on top before being placed
in the oven. Place the hotel pan into a hot water bath; cover with foil and cook at 350F degrees for approximately 1-1/2 hours.
For Serving: Cut the bread pudding into rectangular or square portions. Make a zigzag pattern diagonally across the plate with first chocolate sauce
and then caramel sauce. Place the warm bread pudding in the center of the plate and top with some ice cream; repeat zigzag pattern with the sauces
across the ice cream and serve

Phaed, thank you, thank you, thank you. This is a much more rich recipe, but it is worth a try. I will let you know how it works.
Again, many thanks, Suzy.
