Curried Deviled Eggs Recipe – A Vintage 1960s Recipe

Curried Deviled Eggs Recipe

Yep. Another deviled eggs recipe on the internet. This recipe for curried deviled eggs is from a 1960s cookbook, Good Housekeeping I believe, that my mother had. Perhaps it’s because these were the deviled eggs I grew up with, but I think they’re the best. I’m always disappointed (and proud at the same time) when I bite into someone else’s deviled eggs and they don’t have the expected flavor these do. They’re really good. I’m making some right now!

Curried Deviled Eggs Recipe

Deviled Eggs

6 hard cooked eggs
4 tablespoons mayonnaise
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon mustard
1/4 teaspoon curry powder
1 tablespoon minced onion
dash of pepper

Slice eggs in half lengthwise. Scoop out the yellow and put into a small bowl. Add all other ingredients to the yellows and mash well. Spoon the yellow mixture into the egg halves. Sprinkle with more curry powder. Refrigerate.

Decadent Candied Yams Recipe

Decadent Candied Yams – Great for Christmas and Thanksgiving feasts.

Wash and trim 5 medium sweet potatoes. Boil in salted water about 20 minutes. Peel and slice crosswise in baking dish. Slice about 1/2 inch thick.

Make a syrup (almost candy) of 2 cups sugar, 1 cup water and 1/2 cup butter and pour over sweet potatoes.

Bake in oven until syrup is bubbly and potatoes are browned slightly around edges.

If that’s not sweet enough for ya, top with marshmallows. I shudder in bliss thinking of all that sugar!
