Vintage 1950s Recipes - Day 10: Twenty-four Hour Salad

Twenty-four Hour Salad

2 c. orange sections
2 c. quartered marshmallows
4 c. fruits for salad or fruit cocktail, drained
2 eggs
2 T. sugar
1/4 c. light cream
juice of 1 lemon
1 c. heavy whipping cream

Combine oranges, marshmallows, and salad fruits. Beat eggs, until very
light, gradually add sugar, light cream, and lemon juice. Mix well and
cook in double boiler until smooth and thick, stirring constantly.
Remove from heat, cool, then fold in whipped cream. Pour over fruit
mixture and mix lightly. Chill 24 hours in refrigerator. Serve on crisp
lettuce. Serves 10-12.


This is not something I'd heard of before, but there were two very
similar recipes with the same name so I assume it was popular back then.


Look for another recipe tomorrow!

Gack.

You can give this recipe a 1960s upgrade by substituting Cool Whip
for the dressing.

Omit the eggs and it would be very good.

It actually looks like a promising recipe if you replace the marshmallows
with, well, just about anything else.

[Cindy Hamilton]

I've never thought fruit salad needed anything but fruit, cut up bit
size and mixed together.

This looks like a wintertime recipe, since the only fresh fruit in it is
oranges. Of course, canned mandarins could be substituted.

While this preceded Cool Whip by some years, a few of the recipes
featured whipped evaporated milk. I'm not sure that would be better
than Cool Whip.

I mean, tastes differ. In this case, you have a lemon custard mixed
with marshmallows, whipped cream, and fruit. It's a bit rich, almost a
dessert, but nothing off-putting to me. If someone brought this to a
meal, I'd eat some of it.

For me, it's not nearly as unpleasant-sounding as the Jell-o salads
with meat and stuff in them.


Brian

[jmcquown]

My Aunt used to make something similar and it called for sour cream, not
eggs, milk and cream. This was in the late 1960's. Mixed fresh diced
fruit (or canned drained fruit cocktail), canned mandarin oranges,
drained, sugar, maybe some mini marshmallows. I think there was some
shredded sweetened coconut stirred in, too. She called it 'Ambrosia/
Fruit Salad'. Some people might claim this is a "Southern" dish. Aunt
Jean had never been to the South when she served this to us while we
were visiting in western Pennsylvania.

[Michael Trew]

Just whip heavy cream for the same effect, but better. Add just a bit
of sugar before whipping, perhaps a bit of vanilla extract.

I'm struggling to follow. The recipe has whipped cream.


Brian

[Michael Trew]

My comment was in reference to the recipe pre-dating cool whip.. I was
mentioning making your own cool-whip, sorry for the confusion.

[Ophelia]

YOU are stomach-churning.

[Cindy Hamilton]

It doesn't have whipped cream. It has "whipping cream", aka heavy cream.

I still don't want marshmallows, canned fruit cocktail, and either
custard or whipped cream.

That happens to be a Classic Fruit Salad, actually has a name, and
there are several versions depending on one's imagination:
https://www.delish.com/cooking/recipe-ideas/a19634609/classic-ambrosia-salad-recipe/
I like it to include fresh berries (we had frozen) and toasted
coconut. It was a very popular dessert aboard ship, scoffed down by
the tubsful. Other than apples and oranges we rarely had fresh fruit
at sea but canned works. We didn't have Cool Whip, we suffered
through real whipped cream. I never made it with pudding but I see no
reason that wouldn't work. Yoose make me wonder how many had to make
do with strawberry shortcake made with frozen berries.

Whipped cream is far superior to cool whip.

That in no way resembles classic Ambrosia. Do you not ever glance
at the sites you post here?? This is some nasty concoction he lit upon
at some dubious site.

[jmcquown]

"Quartered" marshmallows, to boot! Everyone should spend some time
cutting marshmallows into quarters. Or just buy mini-marshmallows.

Ah. No problem. It's possible one of the "whipped evaporated milk" ones

I LOVE sweet potatoes topped by marshmallows that have been toasted
in the oven. But I'm not a fan of canned sweet potatoes that have marsh-
mallows dumped on the top and toasted.

I got a sweet potato tale that involves marshmallows if you are
interested. It will probably make your hair stand on end as it
does involve a LOT of those puffy sugar bombs.

The dish I was fed.... once only... was some sort of mashed sweet

sweet.

[Ed Pawlowski]

Yes, turned me off sweet potatoes for years. Then I discovered roasted
sweet potatoes and have them at least once a week. I peel, cut into
chunks, toss in olive oil and put them in the pan with whatever I'd
cooking in the oven.

I can only take so much of a sweet potato dish with marshmallows, very

They're easier to take if eaten with something savory such as a pork roast
or chops or chicken and dressing, etc. Just to eat them by themselves is
too sweet.

[Michael Trew]

Fair point; I've only had them on a plate with other things at
Thanksgiving.

[Cindy Hamilton]

Yes, I acknowledge I didn't read the instructions very closely. I didn't
see a specific instruction to whip the cream, so I missed that it was
implied.

Cindy Hamilton

[Cindy Hamilton]

For me, sweet potatoes are plenty sweet all on their own. No need to
add more. I prefer powdered chipotle chile on my sweet potatoes.

Cindy Hamilton

[Sheldon Martin]

I prefer sweet potatoes baked in their jackets/skins until the sugar
oozes, good to do that on a foil lined pan or will be difficult to
clean. Scrub with a brush and pare away any rough hairy parts. We
eat the crisp skins, the best part. Marshmallows ruin the flavor of
sweet potatoes. I do like marshmallow cream/topping on a hot fudge
sundae. We also roast winter squash and enjoy their crisp skins too.
In fact we roasted a dozen butternut squash from the garden for dinner
last night and have the left overs to nuke... I'll eat them cold from
the fridge too. They are more flavorful when sliced lengthwise,
deseeded, seasoned with s n p, and grilled on the Weber. The Weber
was on for the sausage patties anyway. The hot squash only needed a
pat of butter. We try to pick the squash small but one or two always
get huge from hiding under the leaves... zukes do likewise. Zukes are
best grilled too. The new monster Weber grills lots of veggies, we
like grilled tomatoes, and I'll grill slabs of sweet onions for me.
I think we use the Weber more for veggies than for meats. Soon we'll
be grilling giant cabbage wedges.

[Dave Smith]

There are also good cooked on a grill. Slice them up, toss them in a
little oil, maybe even add a little curry powder, and then grill them on
direct heat. They are delicious.

[Hank Rogers]

How big are yoose giant cabbages this year Popeye?

With all the rain, I bet they're about 200 Lbs apiece.

[itsjoan...@webtv.net]

The marshmallows are probably a Southern thang.

[Cindy Hamilton]

Maybe. IIRC my mother and grandmother used marshmallows on canned,
candied sweet potatoes. They had a bunch of recipes that used marshmallows,
including what was my favorite dessert when I was a child but now is
tooth-achingly sweet.

Cindy Hamilton

[Graham]

I don't know about that because at our first xmas dinner in Canada, our
hosts served what they called a "parfait" to eat WITH the turkey. It
consisted of, inter alia, lime jello and mini marshmellows.

I wonder if this weird idea of adding an industry produced candy type

I dunno. But it's been on every Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner table
since I was child.

[Bruce 3.2]

I learnt in this newsgroup that Americans sometimes add chips (crisps)
to their dinner. You know, from the supermarket. O'Lays, for instance,
or whatever the brand names are. That strikes me as trailer trashy,
with all due respect for trailer trash, of course. But at least it's
savoury, whereas marshmallows are a sweet industry concoction. Who
came up with that?

Ok, so the origins of the marshmallow are French.
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marshmallow) But I think we can credit
the Americans with the strange idea of adding them to a savoury dish.

[Bruce 3.2]

Not a very new idea then.

As these recipes were contributed by a group of amateur cooks, the
detail of instructions varies considerably. This one actually isn't too
bad, compared to some. See that biscuit recipe from Day 2.

I can't say that I would consider sweet potatoes as savory. Some might
and maybe they are, but my mind reads them as a sweet vegetable; perfect
for marshmallows!!! Har-har-har

I'm sure you can make a sweet 'sweet potato' pie, but I bet you'd have
to add sugar.

[Dave Smith]

I think they are best with curry.

[jmcquown]

I agree, roasted or baked sweet potatoes are sweet tasting all on their
own. I generally bake them the same as I do russets - skins rubbed with
butter and sprinkled with salt. Once baked, I add butter to the meat of
the potato and S&P and eat it like a regular baked potato. I've also
had them cut into cubes and boiled along with white potatoes and then
mashed... called "harvest" mashed potatoes. But no, do not add brown
sugar or any other sweet stuff. There's a reason they are called "sweet
potatoes". They don't need any added sugar.

Jill

[jmcquown]

It never crossed a family dinner table at my house but I've definitely
heard of sweet potato pie with marshmallows. My former MIL probably was
familiar with some such thing. I did my best to avoid eating at her
house. She was a horrible cook.

Jill

[jmcquown]

You may have my share of curry powder. I do like sweet potatoes cut
into wedges, brushed with a little corn oil, sprinkled with S&P then
onto the grill. Nice!

It's the word "candied". Sweet stuff. Sweet potatoes/yams are already
naturally sweet tasting. They definitely don't need marshmallows or
brown sugar or anything else. But hey, if you like extra sweet tasting
food, it works.

I did find that strange as well.

It's a song, look it up. The beginning lyrics sound quite similar to
your "universal anthem".

I make them occasionally. Use fresh cooked sweet potatoes, then add the
seasonings for a "pumpkin pie." Same exact recipe and the taste is also
similar. Might be a little brown sugar added but I don't remember now.
Dessert food is traditionally sweet so sugar often added. Don't like
sugar, avoid desserts.

Doing the filling from scratch, might as well make your own superior
homemade crust too.

If not, just buy a premade pie from the store. They taste good enough as
long as you don't mind the extra chemicals that are always added.

I generally like them boiled to soft, remove the "jackets" then add
butter and S&P.

I used to make them occasionally but never cared for the marshmallow
topping. I tried one old recipe (my Mom sent me) that added canned
sliced peaches to the sp mix. That was a good combination. I made it but
left off the marshmallows.

The disgusting (to me) Thanksgiving classic comes from a highly successful advertising campaign. Here's an interesting article about the introduction of marshmallow-topped sweet potatoes in the early twentieth century.

Funny, nothing with marshmallows ever showed up on my parents' or
grandparents' tables at Thanksgiving or Christmas. Not in my house, either.

Nor in mine. Ick.

[jmcquown]

I've heard of it and seen pictures of it, of course. Not sure where the
ad campaign came in but it certainly didn't come into play in my life.

That's most unusual for a kid. I wish I could get more toasted marshmallows in my diet. OTOH, maybe it's just because I like fire and burning stuff.

They had another article about another disgusting product.

Hormel chili is no doubt the worst brand name chili I've ever tasted.
About 25 years ago, I bought 4 cans BOGOF, and 3 of them got donated.
