ADMIRAL NIMITZ recipe for the Old Fashioned Mix which he calls
11 CINPAC S PECIAL"
TRUMBY
1 clean one-gallon - jug
3 quarts Bourbon
1/4 of a fifth of gold label rum
Add sugar syrup cautiously until you can just detect the presence
of sugar.
Fill remainder of jug with tap water.
Desirable but not necessary: drop two whole vanilla beans into
the jug to stay for many refills of jug. They last for years.
Pour generous portions over ice and serve it forth!
This recipe was developed by Admiral Nimitz when he was Commander
in Chief of the Pacific at a time when liquor was rationed, a bottle
a week to a man and frequently rum was the only kind available.
ADMIRAL NIMITZ mother's recipe for Cactus Fruit Jelly, from
early days in Texas. The Hawaiians call it Panini jelly.
Pick half ripe cactus fruit with long handled meat fork to avoid spines.
Place in pail and let water run into it to clean fruit. Put fruit in big pot,
spines and all, and slice it in the pot. Add half cup of water and cook until
the fruit is well done. Then put in strainer and strain out juice, straining
several times through double flour-sack - cloth.
4 cups of cactus juice
3-1/2 cups of sugar
juice of two lemons
1/2 bottle of certo.
Boil juice, sugar, and lemon juice for half hour, then put certo in, and
boil again for five minutes. Pour into-sterilized glass jars and let set
overnight. If sub stance does not jell, boil again for ten minutes.
