Time for pie!

A few months ago, I bought a recipe box off of eBay. It's a tin box, filled with recipes for Royal Gelatin & Pudding. There are no dates, but I'm guessing it's pre-1970s.



For New Year's Day, I made the first recipe in the box, Nut Fudge Pie. The recipe didn't specify instant or cooked pudding, so I went with cooked. It was easy to make.






It looked gorgeous coming out of the oven, all high and puffy, but settled as it cooled. It also ran when I cut it, either because it was still warm or because I should have baked it five more minutes.



It tasted okay- nothing spectacular, and probably could have used more nuts. It is excellent over ice cream however!

Hmm. Something in the design whispers 1968 to me. Blue Bonnet has been around since the mid-fourties and Royal just as long, which would answer for the kitshily retro look to to this vintage box. But I'm willing to bet Dark "N" Sweet came the same year as the box. Ah, but when was that? My Google-fu fails me at that point.

The Fudge Nut Pie font absolutely looks 1968(earliest)-1972 to me!
