So, not to be out done, I have to add a recipe from one of my famous ancestors. We had an extensive family history done, and it turns out that not only do I share a Great Great Grandfather with Frank Epperson, inventor of the popcicle, but also, Lou Hoover, our 31st First Lady! Read more I guess she was not much for cooking, (her culinary expertise was in choosing excellent cooks for the household), but she did have a favorite dish that she requested quite often. This is a modernized version of that recipe. See less
Ingredients
- 8 ripe tomates of equal size shopping list
- 1 tablespoon salt shopping list
- white pepper shopping list
- 1 1/2 cups brown sugar shopping list
- 1/4 cup butter shopping list
How to make it
- Skin the tomatoes. (you will need to blanch them for this!)
- Carefully cut off the tops. Place them in a buttered baking dish suitable to serve them in. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and brown sugar. Dab each of the with butter. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F, and bake for 1/2 hour. The remove to the top of the stove, and over a low flame, reduce the juice until it is a thick syrup. Then once again bake them in a hot oven (400 degeres F) for 1/2 hour. Serve hot."
- Original Recipe:
- You cut off the tops of the tomatoes--leave the stem--and make a cavity in the top, and fill each hole with a good-sized piece of butter--not a stingy piece-and put a tablespoonful of sugar on each tomato. Sprinkle with salt, and put in the oven to cook until the sugar is brown and the tomato done but not flat. Stick a sprig of parsley in the top of each tomato and serve on rounds of toast with sauce of the tomato. That makes a very pretty dish.
