Unnamed Cookbook (Missing Cover)- Spiralbound Cookbook #37

There's no cover on this cookbook, but, through photos inside, and text on the first few pages, this is, apparently, ANOTHER cookbook created by the Clearfield (Iowa) Band Boosters (see previous post here).  This edition was printed within a few years of the previous cookbook, based on the uniforms and hairstyles of the students in the photos...

To be equitable, the cookbook even includes a photo of the Clearfield Community School Vocal Group (catchy name!)...

The recipe I've chosen to feature from this cookbook is for PINEAPPLE DATE NUT DROPS:

Pineapple Date Nut Drops

1/2 c. oleo
1/2 c. brown sugar (packed)
1/2 c. white sugar
1 egg
1 T. pineapple juice
1/2 c. shredded pineapple or drained fruit cocktail
1/2 tsp. soda
1/3 c. chopped nuts
2/3 c. dates, cut fine
2 c. flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt

Cream butter with sugars, beat in egg.  Add pineapple juice and crushed pineapple with soda.  Sift together flour, baking powder and salt.  Add nuts and dates, with flour mixture.  Drop by teaspoon on greased cookie sheet.  Bake at 375 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes, makes four dozen.

Nut meats will come out in halves, if soaked overnight in water before cracking.

Enjoy!
