My sister, Patty gave me this cookbook for a wedding present. I wish I still had it cause I lost my sis to cervical cancer 17 yrs ago. Unfortunately it was one of many material things lost along the journey. I'm sure there were lots of great recipes in it but the only one I remember ever trying was the Sweet and Sour Brisket. It was one of David's favorites so I made it many times. Now years later as I'm trying to rack my brain and put together an online/electronic recipe file of our old favorites, I've searched online and found what I think is pretty close to that old recipe. This will be one of the very first recipes I make once we have an oven again. (Can't exactly make a brisket on a hotplate or a microwave... ;-)
Sweet and Sour Brisket
Ingredients:
1/2 c. water
2 onions, sliced
2 cloves garlic
1 c. ketchup
1/2 c. vinegar
1 c. sugar
3/4 c. brown sugar
Salt & pepper
3 to 4 lb. brisket
Saute brisket until brown. Add all ingredients and cook until tender, 350 degrees for 3 hours. You can click on the recipe book to go to my allrecipes.com profile and find the recipe there to save, too. Oh if anyone happens to have this cookbook and can verify if this recipe is right that would just be wonderful! Guess one of these days I'll have to buy another copy...
