Use nine: Try softening brushes that are hardened with old, dried-in paint by boiling them in vinegar and let them stand for one hour. Then heat the vinegar and brushes come to a gentle boil. Simmer for 20 minutes. Rinse well, working the softened paint out of the bristles. For extremely heavy paint encrustations, you may need to repeat the process...or head to the hardware store.

Use ten: A little vinegar and salt added to the water you wash leafy green vegetables will float out bugs and kill germs.

Use eleven: Soak or simmer stuck-on food in 2 cups of water and 1/2 cup of vinegar. The food will soften and lift off in a few minutes.

Use twelve: Clean and freshen the garbage disposal by running a tray of ice cubes, with 1/2 cup of vinegar poured over them, through it once a week.

Use thirteen: In a pinch, you can use equal parts of lemon juice and vinegar to clean brass and copper. On difficult areas add a little salt to the mix for some abrasive action.

5. Sauce for the pudding







Well, this certainly makes persimmons worth the wait!
Anything with brandy added has to be yummy!  My
old school pal, Marilyn Lockett passes on a family tradition.



Okay---here is the New England Whiskey Sauce. You can 
add Whiskey or not.  I'm sure most of my Mormon relatives 
in Utah left it out (or did they :-) Do try it over 
Persimmon Pudding.  It so makes it the most heavenly 
dessert.  We look forward to it every Christmas.  Everyone
in our family LOVES it.
Okay here it is: 
 
1 cup sugar
1 Tablespoon Flour
2 Cups boiling water
1 Tablespoon Butter
1 teaspoon nutmeg
2 Tablespoon Whiskey

Combine butter, sugar, and flour in a heavy saucepan.
Cook over medium heat until sugar dissolves.
Bring to a boil and then simmer for 5 minutes. Remove 
from heat and let cool.  
Add nutmeg
Stir in whiskey.
This makes the Persimmon Pudding so yummy...it really does. 
I hope you try it one day and let me know how you like it. 
We don't let it totally cool....just enough to where it 
thickens somewhat.  
I agree with everyone about your writings Sharon....you 
really do have a 'gift'.   I'd love to read a book of yours. 
Have a nice day.
Love, Marilyn
--------------------
I can't wait till enough of those crazy persimmons are 
ripe(I'm watching them on the neighbor's tree, not putting 
them behind the curtain in the kitchen window)and we have 
company so I can serve it and not have any leftovers to 
ruin my weight loss.  I'll make the pudding and freeze it 
a until a crowd arrives. The whiskey sauce would be great
on bread pudding, too.  Let me know what you think!!
