As a historian I absolutely love watching videos where old/vintage recipes are made! I made ration cookies for my class when I did a presentation on WWII.

“You can check the temperature by checking the temperature.” SaMe emmy 😭😂

[danielmiller]

you did not cook it long enough the first time. Its not a coat the back of the spoon filling.. its a light pudding. MUCH thicker. My grandmother made this pie all the time.

Thank you for showing your “Fails” they make me feel so much better because I am not a baker lol

Can you make ketchup soup for your food scarcity series? It's how I made it through my late teens.

I'm a chemist, you are either right about the cooking time being too short, or the vinegar was less acidic than what was being used for the original recipe and didn't denature the egg proteins to the extent that would be needed for a more solid texture.

My grandmother makes a delicious vinegar pie, and let me tell you, I've followed her recipe TO THE LETTER and it never turns out!! 😆

I love that you show us your learning experiences. I wouldn't call this a failure because if you learn something from it then you haven't failed. It helps to encourage us amateurs when we can see that even experts make mistakes.

This reminded me of making lemon meringue pie where the filling is cooked until it is thick like pudding where it can be spooned instead of poured into the pie crust. Also, to get the first piece out without damage, cut the first 2 slices first, then lift out the first. It comes out much cleaner. :)

Sorry.

I appreciate how much time and dedication you put into your videos. Always informative and interesting.

I love that you are secure enough to show us the fails. I fail 90% of the time and it's good to see how human we all are. Thanks Emmy. Mincemeat.

Emmy literally brightens my day. Her laugh is so contagious💛😉

[tracybrookey]

Yeah, I knew when you “poured” the custard in it wasn’t going to set!😞 But next time you will know! Still looked great!👍🐶💞

[justagirl]

gotta cook the egg yolk and sugar mixture longer. it should be much thicker, almost like pudding. then add the lemon flavor and cook another cpl of mins. *born and raised in the hollers of kentucky*

I love how you share both your failures + successes. Love your authenticity

[melissamanon]

Ohhh molasses pie sounds amazing!! Definitely try that one!

[miguelmarquez]

I just wanted to take a minute to thank the person who mailed in the cookbook. I appreciate you sharing your families heritage... which is my heritage too! My name doesnt let on, but one side of my family came from pioneers. Im always amazed when people unknowingly capture historical perspective. Those were just her recipes but it captures the times, her knowledge and experience.

I absolutely love that you never hide your “oopsies”. Love the desperation and depression cooking you do! Was raised on many of these recipes and it’s brings back so many good memories. Thank u!
