Remember That Time When We Used to Make Homemade Root Beer?

Homemade Root Beer

When my husband was going to school 
at BYU in the late 60's 
a young man named Finlinson 
from Delta, Utah 
taught me to make 
homemade
 root beer.


He brought me his families bottle capper and away 
we went having the best time making 
it and then putting it in 
the dark basement 
until 
it was fizzy. 


It was so fun and very yummy.


This morning I happened upon this recipe for 
homemade root beer and wanted 
to share it. 

Ingredients:

80

Serving Size: 1 cup

2 ounces McCormick® Root Beer Concentrate

5 pounds sugar

5 gallons lukewarm spring water, (approximately 95°F)

1 package (1/4 ounce/7 g) dry active yeast

1 cup pre-boiled water, (cooled to 85° to 95°F)

Directions

1. Clean and sanitize all bottling equipment according to information below. Shake Root Beer Concentrate well. Mix with sugar in a large container. (DO NOT USE ALUMINUM). Stir in spring water.
2. 
   
3. Dissolve yeast in 1 cup pre-boiled water. Allow yeast to dissolve undisturbed 10 to 15 minutes. Add to sugar mixture and stir well.
4. 
   
5. Bottle immediately into plastic bottles, leaving 2-inch space at top of bottle. Cap tightly. Store each bottle on its side in a warm place (70° to 80°F) for 1 to 2 days, then store upright in refrigerator at 40° to 45°F for additional 3 to 4 days. Keep refrigerated and consume within 7 to 8 days.

I Love My Buddy Burners

Frying EggsWhen I was a Girl Scout my leader, 
Mrs. Thorpe, taught us how to 
make buddy Burners. 

They were so much fun and I used mine 
all summer long to cook 
my breakfast.

Frying Hash-browns

 Well a few month ago I saved some large tin cans from my food storage, the one's you get at the Bishops Storehouse or Cannery, and I washed and saved some tuna cans. 

Frying toast

 Then This morning Sarah, Matilda and I made up the burners.

It was so much fun to cook our breakfast outside and 

it was the best breakfast they had ever had, 

for sure! :)

Love,

Sweet Memories for Sure

When I was little we lived on Argo Way in Sacramento, 
my mom would get Canned Boston Beans and 
Canned Boston Brown Bread. 


The bread was sweet and we ate it toasted 
with lots of butter. 


The beans were very sweet too so it all made for 
sweet memories for sure. 


I found a recipe for the Canned Brown Bread. 


I thought it would be very fun for 
us all to try to make our own. 


But if you are too busy and want to buy them 
here is what they look like 
in the can.
