Title A name given to the resource RCA0008 - Florida Collection of Typed Cards Subject The topic of the resource Cooking Recipe Cards Description An account of the resource This was a great collection to go through for a few reasons. First, every card in the collection was typewritten on a typewriter with dates spanning decades. In addition, most of the cards were recipes transcribed from magazines, newspapers, and TV. This tells me that the original owner was very passionate about the process of cataloging these recipes in addition to the recipes themselves. With the recipes, there are several other odds and ends like tags from souvenirs. But, in addition to the tags are typed cards transcribing the tags. And, to round out the love for these cards, every single card had a plastic sleeve protecting it. Second, this collection had some interesting recipes that originally caught my eye. Where else would I find recipes for 'Squirrel and Biscuits', 'Roast Opossum', and 'Armadillo'?! On top of the interesting ones, there are a few that stand out as recipes I want to try. 'Old-Fashioned Cheesecake with Zwieback Crust' sounds super tasty and introduced me to zwieback. And, I love oysters, so 'Scalloped Oysters' will definely hit the table at some point in the near future. Very fun collection and I wish I knew more about the original owner. I think we'd have a lot in common.

Title A name given to the resource Pumpkin Flan Description An account of the resource PUMPKIN FLAN CHANNEL 8 Bring to a boil: 3 tb. corn syrup, 6 oz. sugar, and 35 tb. water. Scald: 1 quart milk, vanilla, ¼ tsp. nutmeg, dash of ginger and cinnamon. Stir 1 cup pumpkin into scalded milk. Beat 8 eggs and 1 cup sugar. Add a little hot liquid to eggs and then fold into the milk. Bake in water bath at 325 degrees for 1 hour or at 300 degrees. Card 1 Back: blank --- # Pumpkin Flan *Attributed to Channel 8 (television broadcast)* ## Ingredients ### Caramel Syrup - 3 Tbsp corn syrup - 6 oz sugar - 3-5 Tbsp water ### Custard - 1 quart milk - Vanilla (to taste) - 1/4 tsp nutmeg - Dash of ginger - Dash of cinnamon - 1 cup pumpkin - 8 eggs - 1 cup sugar ## Instructions ### Caramel Syrup 1. Combine corn syrup, sugar, and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. ### Custard 1. Scald the milk together with vanilla, nutmeg, ginger, and cinnamon. 2. Stir 1 cup pumpkin into the scalded milk mixture. 3. Beat 8 eggs with 1 cup sugar. 4. Add a little of the hot liquid to the eggs to temper them, then fold the egg mixture into the milk. ### Assembly 1. Pour the caramel syrup into the baking vessel, then add the custard mixture over it. 2. Bake in a water bath at 325°F for 1 hour, or alternatively at 300°F. ## Editor's Notes - **"35 tb. water"** — This quantity (35 tablespoons, approximately 2 cups plus 3 tablespoons) is unusually large for a caramel syrup. I believe it should be 3-5 Tb. so I have used that here.
