Copper Pennies

Rather than re- write the recipe, I'm just posting the vintage newspaper clipping.
This was a childhood favorite that my grandmother and mother made.
I hadn't thought about these carrots in years.
A fellow food blogger was asking us to post our favorite vintage recipes and I immediately thought of Copper Pennies.
Another odd, All American Recipe!
I may have to research the history.


This is a Double Recipe.
I adapted it based on what I had. I didn't have a Bell Pepper but I added 2 small cans of Diced Green Chiles and a Medium Jar of Pimientos and quite a bit of chopped fresh Parsley. 






As I began to do research on the history of this recipe, I discovered that it's also referred to as a salad.
I found this recipe in a Mennonite recipe book from my mother in law in Kansas. I'm going to continue to see if I can find the earliest version of the recipe.



This is from my mother in law's Mennonite Recipe File



This is my wife's handwritten recipe from the 70's


I just discovered this in my mother's recipe collection.
