This is my mothers sister my AUNT JOANN...with her husband Chris, they raised 2 wonderful children. Kenneth (Butch) Jensen (ALASKA) and SHIRLEY (Florida)and my 1/2 sister Betty (Illinois).I always enjoyed visiting her .... What a wonderful cook and baker. Here is one of her recipes...we had fun making together...in the early 40,s. AWWWW HAPPY MEMORIES! I feel they are all looking down at me, and are remembering This Thanksgiving Day... I am very thankful they were in my life. Nancy...11/22/12

BOIL molasses, sugar, butter and vinegar, until it forms a ball (firm) in cold water, take off heat. add BAKING SODA...( STAND BACK...lol!) And beat with a mixer until light and foamy. Turn out onto a large buttered cookie sheet. Put in refrigerator until hard. Dump out onto waxed paper and break up with a hammer (covered with aluminum!) into smaller pieces. **NOTE: If you dip them into melted chocolate, MOLASSES FOAM becomes.....ANGEL FOOD!!!
