Acorn and Maple Leaf

Acorn and Maple Leaf Potholder Crochet Patterns ~ Since Fall started this month, I scoured my vintage craft books and found these cute potholder crochet patterns. This particular booklet by the American Thread Company, lists a themed recipe with each of the patterns.

It’s titled Star Potholders and is Star Book No. 55 published in 1947. There are several other Pot Holder crochet pattern booklets from this company with recipes.

You’ll find many on Ebay. Along with No. 55 there is Star Book No. 32 that was published in 1944. It has crochet potholder patterns with recipes too.

You’ll find several posts I’ve done that include recipes. Such as a Teapot with a Minted Tea Cooler drink recipe or Search in the Recipe category or Fruit potholder with a recipe for Spiced Fruit Compote. Find a list of them here.

Maple Sugar Graham Crackers

The recipe is called Maple Sugar Graham Crackers. How can you go wrong with butter, maple sugar and graham crackers!

I found several different types of Maple Sugar on Amazon. The one with the best reviews is Coombs Family Farms Organic Maple Sugar. The reviewers say it’s great to use as a sugar substitute, better than artificial sweeteners. Many use it in their coffee and tea.

And even though it’s a little pricey, it’s better than boiling down your own. Which I’ve read would take 2 to 3 gallons of pure maple syrup. That’s a lot, unless you live on a farm that processes maple syrup. 🙂

It comes in a handy, easy to use container that holds a pound and 9 ounces or 708 grams.

The next in best reviews is also an organic maple sugar made on a farm, Frost Ridge Maple Farm, Organic Maple Sugar. Reviewers did say this one was more powdery than granular. Many used it in their coffee and tea as-well-as baking with great results.

This package costs less since it’s only 8 ounces. If you go by price per ounce, the Coombs maple sugar is less per ounce.
