Crock Pot Peached Pork Chops Recipe

My 82 yr old great aunt has collected recipes over her the years and has now passed them onto me. Some are ones she clipped out of newspappers, magazines, given to her by others and so forth. I have thousands to sort through. I think the vintage recipes can be the best ones because they are usually simple to prepare and use ingredients you normally have on hand. Yesterday I decied to make the following recipe that she gave to me using my crock pot.

Crock Pot Peached Pork Chops

5-6 pork chops
1/4 c. brown sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. ground cloves
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (29 ounce) can cling peach halves
1/4 c. vinegar
salt and pepper to taste

Lightly brown pork chops on both sides in a skillet. Sprinkle pork chops with salt and pepper. Pour off excess fat-grease.



Combine brown sugar, cinnamon, cloves, tomato sauce, 1/4 c. syrup from peaches and vinegar in a large bowl.



Arrange pork chops in your slow cooker (crock pot). Place drained peach halves on top.



Pour tomato mixture over them. Cover and cook on low heat setting for 4-6 hours until done. Makes 5-6 servings.



Now your finished product should look like this! Happy Eating!

Tammy's Grandma's Meatloaf Recipe

I asked my friend Tammy to share one of her favorite recipes with us today and I am so glad that I did. My hubby and I enjoy eating meatloaf and we are always trying out new meatloaf recipes.


Grandma's Meatloaf

Ingredients

2 lbs ground beef
2 eggs
1 can tomato soup
1 large onion
24 crackers
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 cup ketchup
salt and pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Gather all ingredients and a baking dish with a lid. Chop up the onion in very small minced pieces.

Mix all ingredients with the ground beef except the crackers and 1/2 of the tomato soup. After mixing the other ingredients, crush crackers into small pieces and fold into the meatloaf mixture. Mix the crackers into the meatloaf thoroughly.

Shape the ground beef mixture into a nice oval loaf and place in covered baking dish. Make a nice hole in the middle to form a ring. This will aid with getting the meatloaf all the way done and will lesson the time in the oven. Place in center of 325 degree oven for 1 hour.

Mix together the remaining tomato soup and some water for the top sauce. Pour the sauce on top of meatloaf. Bake an additional 20 minutes. Carve meatloaf in servable slices. Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes.

Hershey's Cherry Cordial Creme Cheesecake Recipe

I am a total Hershey's Kiss Addict! I love all the various flavors you can buy these days when it comes to the popular Hershey's Kisses. Some of my favorites are: Caramel Kiss, Cherry Cordial Kiss in Milk Chocolate, Hershey Hugs (white & milk chocolate swirl) and the Hot Chocolate Flavor. If you have not tried any of the flavored Hershey's Kisses, you are really missing out.

On the back of the Cordial Cherry Kisses package was the following recipe which I decided to make for Dessert for Valentines Day.

Cherry Cordial Creme Cheesecake Recipe
Makes 10-12 Servings

1/2 c. butter or margarine, melted (I used unsalted butter)
1 1/4 c. granulated sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 eggs
2/3 c. all-purpose flour
1/2 c. Hershey's Cocoa
1/4 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1 pkg. (8 ounce) cream cheese, softened (I used Phila Cream Cheese)
1 c. powdered 10-X sugar
1/2 c. chilled whipping cream
1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling, drained
25 Hershey's Cherry Cordial Creme Kisses, unwrapped

Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9" round cake pan with foil, extending foil beyond the sides. Grease foil. (I used Parkay Margarine to grease the foil). Stir together melted butter, granulated sugar and vanilla in a large bowl. Add eggs, beat well using a spoon.



Stir together flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt; gradually add to egg mixture, beating with spoon until well blended. Spread batter in prepared baking pan. Bake 25 minutes or until cake is set. (cake is fudgy and will not test done). Remove from oven; cool completely in pan on wire rack. (I left mine cool for 30 minutes and then started the next step of the recipe).

Beat cream cheese and powdered sugar in medium bowl until well blended. Beat whipping cream until stiff; gradually fold into cream cheese mixture, blending well. Spread over brownie layer. Cover; refrigerate until serving time. Use foil to lift out of pan; remove foil. Juse before serving, put drained cherry pie filling on top. Place chocolates around the edge and cut into wedges. Cover, Refrigerate leftovers.

Delicious and Easy-to-Make Salmon Cakes Recipe

My great auntie gave me a can of Salmon and I didn't know what to do with it since I have never used canned Salmon before. Luckily though, she also gave me her recipe for homemade Salmon Cakes too.

Salmon Cakes

1 can of flaked Salmon
2 eggs
salt and pepper to taste
parsley, oregano and basil to taste
1/4 c. finely chopped onion

Remove all bones from the canned Salmon and discard the bones. Finely flake the Salmon and put into a large bowl. Whisk the 2 eggs together and add them to the bowl along with all spices. Stir in the chopped onion and bread crumbs and mix well. Using your clean hands, shape mixture into patties. Add 2 Tbsp. Vegetable Oil to a frying pan and using medium heat, fry your Salmon patties until done and lightly browned.

I made buttered brussle sprouts to go with them but you could serve any of your favorite veggies as the side dish.
