*** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR RECIPE *** I would love to try some exo-USA recipes straight from the sources mouth. Hope you're all listening out there.

Here are a few Atlantic Canadian recipes;
Apple Crisp or Levi's Pie
4 - 6 medium sized apples
3/4 cup rolled oats
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup butter
cinnamon and sugar mixture to taste
1 - 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Core and slice the apples (peel if you like, but I don't bother).
Arrange in a greased baking dish (should be about 1/2 full). Sprinkle
lemon juice and cinnamon-sugar mixture over apples. Combine dry
ingredients and mix well. Cut in butter. Sprinkle this over the apples.
Bake at 350F for 35 - 40 minutes (until apples are cooked). Serve warm
with whipped cream or ice cream. I also like it cold.
Before I get a mass of mail saying that this isn't Atlantic Canadian
and that it has been eaten almost everywhere, I don't claim that it is
*exclusively* from Atlantic Canada but the source is "Out of Old Nova
Scotia Kitchens", modified slightly.
Now for something REALLY Nova Scotian; I will quote directly from the
book mentioned above;
And now, here it is - Lady Wentworth's own recipe - in her own
spelling! The lack of punctuation is interesting.
HOW TO MAKE CALF'S FOOT JELLY
"Take Two Pair of Calfes feet let them be very Clean take out the
large bones put them in a Large skillet with a gallon of water let it
boil away to 2 Quarts if the feet is not very Tender fill up your
Skillet again and when it is boil'd away strain through a sieve let it
stand till Could then take all the fatt from the Top of your Jelly put
your Jelly into a Clean skillet with the Juice of 12 Lemons the Rine
of 2 a pint & half of White Wine sugar and spice to your Tast then
have the Whites of 12 eggs beat to fourth (froth) stir them in the
Skillet with your Jelly then let it have one boil and pour in the
fourth"
But seriously, I would heartily suggest the book, although I doubt that
anyone not in or near Nova Scotia (on the east coast of Canada for
those who missed that lesson in Geography) will be able to find it. It
is very amusing, and has a lot of good dessert recipes with fruit and
berries.
