4 Vintage Duke Energy Recipes (plus a bonus apple crisp recipe)

 

Is anyone else fascinated with vintage recipes? 

The following recipes came out of an old Duke Energy cookbook which was compiled from recipes right here in North Carolina! I got the cookbook for free in a big box that was placed outside of a local book shop.

Fancy fruit dip

• 1 cup sour cream
• 3-4 tbsp fruit preserves, flavor of your choice
• ½ cup shredded coconut

Mix all ingredients together.

Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Serve with melon, strawberries, pineapple chunks, apples and any other fruit of your choice.

This “fancy dip” can also serve as a cookie dip!

Try serving with large marshmallows, graham crackers and/or vanilla wafers in addition to or in place of your fruit.

Fruity punch

• 1 bottle of apple juice
• 1 can pineapple juice, sweetened
• 1 liter of orange soda
• 1 box strawberry Jello

Prior to making punch, place juices and sods in refrigerator overnight.

Mix all ingredients and stir to combine.

Tips: You can purchase an extra bottle or can of juice and make ice cubes in ice cube trays with the extra juice. Place juice cubes into punch after combining ingredients and prior to serving.

You can also add vanilla ice cream or sherbet to the punch just before serving.
