Julia's Collections

When my mother passed away 20 years ago, my sisters and I had the not-so-fun job of going through her treasures. No one spoke for her recipe collections, so I grabbed them. You see, my mom was a fantastic cook. It seemed a shame to me to have those recipes go unclaimed! Well, here we are, 20 years later; and those recipes have rested in their special place on my closet shelf waiting to be tried . . . .

Oops! - Grape or Orange Julius

In the midst of all that cooking for breakfast Saturday, we forgot to make the Julius drinks. So we decided to make them for a night snack on Sunday after dinner. However, we probably should have forgotten them altogether because no one liked them. Seems like they have never quite acquired the taste for powdered milk - can't say I blame them. I didn't like it either. But look at those sweet kids - smiling anyway. We ended up throwing it all away. The sad thing was that we doubled the recipe because you can't buy a small can of frozen juice anymore. Caryn said that she makes them with regular milk, so if you try this recipe, make the switch from powdered to the real thing!

GRAPE OR ORANGE JULIUS
1 small can frozen orange or grape juice
1 can of water
2/3 cup sugar
2/3 cup powdered milk
10 ice cubes, put in one at a time
Blend till creamy.
