This article is a group of old fashion recipes in misc. categories. From Orange Slice Squares (cookies) to Skillet Scalloped Potatoes, these are recipes to love. The Orange Slice Bars is an old Kansas recipe that was popular in the 40s and 50s. The Tomato Sauced Liver 'N' Onions is an old recipe I found in my late mother's recipe files. I never ate liver so have no recommendations for this dish. My dad and grandfather were the liver eaters in our family. The Skillet Scalloped Potatoes is an easy way to prepare scalloped potatoes without heating up your oven.
ORANGE SLICE BARS
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 lb orange slice candy, chopped
1 lb brown sugar
4 eggs, slightly beaten
1 tbsp water
1 cup chopped nuts, optional
1 tsp cinnamon
powdered sugar
1/2 cup orange juice
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine the flour and salt in a large bowl. Toss the orange candy in the mixture to coat it well. Add the brown sugar, eggs, water, cinnamon, and nuts, if using*. Mix well and spread in a lightly greased 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from oven. Stir enough powdered sugar into the orange juice to make a drizzle consistency. Drizzle over the still hot bars.
*With the amount of sugar in this recipe, I recommend adding the nuts. Nuts help to counteract sugar.
