  • 3/4 C shortening 

  • 1/4 C water (approx) 

  • 1/4 C butter or margarine 

  • 1/3 C pinon nuts (chopped) 

  • 1/2 t milk 

    Cut shortening into flour and salt. Add just enough water to hold dough together. Roll out into 1/4 inch thick rectangle. Spread with softened butter. Fold dough 3 times 1 way, then turn and fold 3 times again. Cut in two. Refrigerate until firm. Roll out each piece to 1/8 inch thick. Cut into 1 inch squares and brush with milk and sprinkle with nuts. Bake for 10 minutes in 450o oven or until lightly browned.

 
Mint Jelly
  • 2 C mint leaves 

  • 2 T lemon juice 

  • 3 1/4 C sugar 

  • 1/2 bottle liquid fruit pectin 

  • 1 apple

Wash the mint leaves and core the apple. Chop both and place in a saucepan. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cook for 5 minutes, mashing occasionally. Remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes. Strain and return to heat. Reduce liquid to 1 3/4 cups.

Add the lemon juice and sugar to the mint liquid. Bring to a full boil, stirring constantly. Pour in the pectin and boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and skim off any foam. Pour into hot jars and cover with melted wax.

Makes 5 med jars

 
Violet Jam
  • 1 cup packed violet blossoms

  • 1 1/2 cups water juice of one lemon

  • 2 1/2 cups sugar

  • 1 package pectin

    Place violets in blender with 3/4 cup water and lemon juice. 
    Blend and then add the sugar until it dissolves. (The solution will 
    turn pinkish, because of the lemon juice.) Heat 3/4 cup water in a 
    pan, stir in the pectin and boil hard for 1 minute. Pour this mixture 
    into the blender with the other ingredients, blend 1 minute, pour 
    into sterile jars, and seal. This will keep in the refrigerator for about 
    3 weeks. Store the rest in the freezer. If for some reason your jam 
    does not jell, use it as a syrup for pancakes, ice cream, or tea flavoring.
