Looking through some of my massive vintage recipe collection, I came across some old-fashion recipes that are excellent for picnics, family reunions, church potlucks, office pitch-ins, as well as your own family meals. Honey Baked Beans combine the flavors of beans, bacon, onion, and honey, etc. for a great taste that will impress your family and friends. Refrigerator Pickles are a great condiment to a wide variety of foods. Always keep a supply of these pickles handy for the occasions mentioned above. The Late Jerry Reed’s Meatloaf recipe uses cornflakes and rice as fillers making it a little different than your everyday meatloaf. Whether you choose one of these recipes or make all three, you will have something a little different than the norm. Others are sure to notice!

HONEY BAKED BEANS

This recipe is from an old newspaper clipping.

4 slices bacon, diced

1/2 cup chopped onion

4 1/2 cups cooked navy beans

1/2 cup honey

1/2 cup ketchup

1 tbsp prepared mustard

1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

Saute bacon and onion until onion is tender. In a two-quart baking dish combine all ingredients. Cover with the lid or aluminum foil and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake 45 minutes longer.

REFRIGERATOR PICKLES

This recipe is from my late mother.

7 med cucumbers, scrubbed and sliced thin

1 large onion, sliced and separated

1 green bell pepper, diced

1/2 cup salt

Mix the above ingredients together, cover with water, let stand for 2 hours.

1 cup vinegar

2 cups sugar

1 tbsp celery seed

In a medium saucepan, bring the vinegar, sugar, and celery seed to a boil. Turn off heat and allow to cool.

Drain the cucumber mixture, rinse and drain again. Put the cucumber mixture into containers and pour the cooled syrup over them. Refrigerate.

NOTE: This recipe can be diabetic friendly when Splenda is substituted for sugar.

THE LATE JERRY REED’S MEATLOAF

1 cup onions, chopped

1 cup bell peppers, chopped

1 egg
