Nothing Needlework

September 20th, 2008. Filed under: Nancy's Recipe Box, Sewing on Saturday.

Nothing of my needlework files remain.  You can read more about that in this post. This includes sewing, knitting, crochet, machine embroidery and all sorts of stuff missing.  I would love to have your help with links to sites with free patterns as I cannot afford to buy much right now.  I will leave you with a fattening dessert recipe.  You can have some with a cup of tea or coffee while you help me find some patterns.  This recipe is from a former neighbor of mine, Leah Schuch.  It’s a good dessert for Thanksgiving.

LEAH’S DATE NUT PUDDING

  • 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/2 stick butter

Cook until dissolved.  Pour in a 13″ x 9″ baking dish.

  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup shortening
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup dates (pitted)
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts

Mix and spoon on top of sauce.  Don’t stir.  Bake 30 minutes at 350F.  Serve with whipped cream.  Delicious warm or cold.
