Pineapple Mallowade
June 10th, 2008 | Written by jfolkmann | Topic: Drinks
I love dropping by garage sales and estate sales to search for old cook books, they’re always chalk full of strange and dated recipes. One of my recent finds is the Better Homes and Gardens Barbeque Book (1969). In the back of the book they’ve got a great drinks section which includes Pineapple Mallowade. By now you’ve guessed the ingredients and are likely making faces of disgust, but you should really give it a try as it isn’t half bad. Really.
24 marshmallows
1 cup of water
2.5 cups of unsweetened pineapple juice
1/4 cup of lemon juice
Dash of salt
3.5 cups gingerale (chilled)
Place marshmallows and water in the top of a double boiler. Heat over boiling water till marshmallows are melted; stir occasionally. Blend in fruit juices and salt. Mix well; chill. Add ginger ale just before just before serving. Pour into ice-filled glasses. Serves 6 to 8.

This is such a cute recipe. I adore old cookbooks and the recipes in them… have you ever seen the gallery of regrettable food? http://www.lileks.com/institute/gallery/index.html

They’ve got some great recipes. I’ll have to try a few…although my wife will probably kill me. It was tough enough to convince her that drinking marshmallows was a good idea.
