APPLE FRUIT SALAD
Lots of apples are grown in southern Illinois, and this is one of my favorite ways to use them. I like Golden Delicious, or a combination of Golden and Red Delicious for pretty color, but you can use whatever type of apple you prefer. The cooked dressing gives the salad an old-fashioned feel.

OLD FASHIONED APPLE SALAD WITH COOKED DRESSING
This was my grandmother's recipe, passed down from her mother. The cooked dressing is so fantastic that it is hard to save some for the apple salad once you taste it. It is similar to a lightly sweetened lemon curd. Scrumptious! Grapes or raisins can be added also.

Steps:
- Combine all the dressing ingredients in a saucepan (sometimes I add the raisins in also, so they plump up before they go into the salad).
- Cook over low/medium low heat, while stirring constantly, until thickened and somewhat gloppy.
- Allow to cool (I put it in a bowl and stick it in the freezer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally).
- Mix together the salad ingredients (don't forget to toss in some extra lemon juice to keep the apples from browning).
- Pour the dressing over the salad and stir together (the dressing is a little gluey, so you will have to work it into the salad).

OLD FASHIONED BOILED SALAD DRESSING
This is my grandmother's recipe for the salad dressing she used instead of mayonaise. (I never tasted mayo until I was a teenager). We used it in pasta salads, egg and tuna salads and sandwiches. I still don't eat BLTs without the tang of this dressing. Grandma made hers on the stovetop and had to stir constantly to avoid scorching. I now do mine in the microwave and no longer have to worry about that.
