\"This<\/div>\n

In this small quaint town, there are few people that you don’t run into on a daily basis. It’s been a culture shock, a climate shock, and definitely<\/em> a culinary shock since moving to this northern Canadian burg. And while there are moments where I long for my urban desert home, there are also moments of sweet and utter bliss. One of those moments happened when I met Pat.
\n<\/i><\/p>\n

Pat is a sweet old lady who lives just a few houses down from me. She’s a fun witted grandma with a few stories to tell. She belongs to the same Church<\/a> as I do, and when you have less than 30 members in your area, you get to know them really well. Pat’s husband passed away last July, and all of her children and grandchildren have long since moved away. She’s been having trouble getting around on her own these days, so she’s moving closer to her family. We have been assisting Pat in packing up her house and finding little treasures along the way.<\/p>\n

We stumbled across an old trunk that was filled with love letters, hand-made baby blankets and booties, knick-knacks, and a plethora of hand written recipes. My heart began to beat faster as I ran my fingers through them, and I could see Pat become excited when I asked her about them. She hasn’t cooked much since her husband passed, and it was something she loved to do. She graciously gave me a stack of intriguing recipes and I couldn’t wait to dig in.<\/p>\n

The first one that really caught my eye was this Fluffy Brown Sugar Icing.<\/p>\n

\"Fluffy<\/p>\n

What I love about old recipes is the way they are written.<\/p>\n

Pat wrote: “drops like a hair from spoon”<\/em> as to know when the brown sugar mixture is ready. It was interesting, and I had to see what she meant.<\/p>\n

Plus… hello<\/strong><\/em>… FLUFFY BROWN SUGAR ICING!! How could you not want to know what that tastes like?!<\/p>\n

\"Fluffy<\/p>\n

Sure enough, the mixture of brown sugar, water and corn syrup becomes thick like a rich caramel and when dropped from a spoon makes tiny (even smaller than pictured)<\/em> strands that resemble hair.<\/p>\n

Then you: “Pour hot syrup in a thin stream into egg whites, beating constantly.”<\/em><\/p>\n

I thought for sure this wouldn’t work. Maybe I am just really novice when it comes to egg whites, but I assumed pouring a hot liquid into them would almost immediately deflate them.<\/p>\n

But no, it didn’t.<\/p>\n

\"Fluffy<\/p>\n

In fact, it held it’s shape and gained a glossy shine.<\/p>\n

It was amazing, and the taste is stellar. It’s like a fluffy caramel marshmallow frosting.<\/p>\n

\"Fluffy<\/p>\n

I dipped many things into that Fluffy Brown Sugar Icing. Chocolate covered graham crackers, pretzels, and peaches. The peaches won in my book. My husband just rolled his eyes said, “Oh, now peaches need frosting?!”<\/p>\n

But seriously, this icing would be amazing when paired with just about anything… even a spoon.<\/p>\n

Thanks for letting me introduce you to Pat. I have several more recipes that I can’t wait to share with you!<\/p>\n
