My Grandma passed away at the age of 94. She was a wonderful cook and I was lucky enough to inherit her recipes. Many date back to the 1940s and 50s. Grandma prepared them in a charming country kitchen with no running water and most of her produce came from her garden, not from the grocery store. These are made-from-scratch recipes. I wish I had spent more time with her in the kitchen and . . . I wish I had spent more time with her for so many other reasons.

Dessert - Apricot Delight

1 lb Nabisco Vanilla Wafers
1 large can apricots
1/2 cup butter
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 pint whipping cream
2 eggs

Grind Vanilla Wafers.  Line a 9 x 9" pan with half of the wafer crumbs.

Cream butter and sugar.  Add eggs (well beaten) a little at a timer.  Mix them thoroughly.  Place apricot halves on wafer lining.  Add creamed mixture over top of apricots.  Spread whipped cream over top then add remainder of crumbs over whipped cream.

Refrigerate for 24 hours before serving.

I haven't tried to make this one yet.  The use of raw eggs concerns me.  I have to make this to see how it turns out.  I have to wonder if a step or two hasn't been left out.
