Sometimes during our Gabby Gatherings favorite recipes are mentioned. So here they are.

Harriet Smith’s Dunelawn Fudge Pie.

Harriet Smith’s Dunelawn Fudge Pie recipe was mention by Marcia Beal Brazer during ,”Where in Ogunquit are we?”, held on April 22, 2021. When an old post card of Dunelawn appeared, Marcia told of Harriet, who lived at Dunelawn, being an excellent cook. Mistakenly, Marcia called it a Flour-less Chocolate Cake. It was called, Dunelawn Fudge Pie and is made with flour.

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Do not brown roast. Place roast in heavy roasting pan. Mix all ingredients in a large bowl. Pour over roast. Cover tightly with double thick tinfoil. Place in preheated oven and cook approximately 1 hour per pound. Half way through cooking time turn roast over. Recover tightly and continue cooking until fork tender. Thicken gravy! Leftover Pot Roast makes great sandwiches with mayo and a bit of horseradish mixed in!
