Another thread caused me to think of some of the things my Grandmother used to make for us. I found an old cookbook called "Dutch Oven - a Cookbook of coveted, traditional recepies from the kitchens of Lunenburg". All of the recepies are hand written. Here's one that I've always liked.
Hodgepodge Stew
6 cups water
2 teaspoons salt, divided
1 pound green beans, cut into 1-inch pieces
6 carrots, cut into 1-inch pieces
3 medium potatoes, peeled and quartered
1 cup fresh or frozen corn
2 cups fresh or frozen peas
6 tablespoons butter or margarine
2 cups whipping cream
2 tablespoons minced fresh chives
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon paprika
In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, bring water and 1 teaspoon salt to a boil. Add beans, carrots, and potatoes; cook 15 minutes. Add corn and peas; cook an additional 3-5 minutes or until tender.
Drain, reserving 2 cups liquid. Set vegetables aside. In the same saucepan, combine reserved liquid, butter, cream, chives, pepper, paprika and remaining salt. Add vegetables and heat through. Makes 8-10 servings (3 quarts).
