The Larkin Co. was started by John D. Larkin as a soap factory in Buffalo, N.Y in 1875. At that time it marketed two products: Sweet Home Soap, a yellow laundry soap and Crème Oatmeal, a toilet soap. Larkin would go from soap to many products, including, perfumes, spices, coffee, peanut butter, paints, furniture, and china.

Just found information on the "Larkin Housewares Cookbook" published by the Larkin Co. in 1915. This cookbook has the prize winning recipes submitted by Larkin customers from the company's recipe contest. This one was from D.L. Nuzum of Watson, W. Va.

The recipe from Larkin's Cook Book is Beef Broth with Vegetables.

"Cook a beef bone with a little meat on it several hours in two quarts of water. When done, add one can of Larkin Tomatoes, three onions finely chopped, one pint chopped cabbage, one cup chopped potatoes, two tablespoons of Larkin Rice or Macaroni. Salt and pepper to season. Serve with oyster crackers. The vegetables are quickly chopped if put through Larkin Food Chopper."

Don't forget the tempting treat of caramel apples. Granted its not a spring item, but a great caramel treat. You can buy caramel dipping sauce for apple slices as a nice treat in the warmer months.

Our Kroger has the caramel dipping sauce. It is so great for sliced apples. As Anna Elizabeth wrote, it a great treat anytime.

I've had baked caramel bread pudding, but not just plain pudding. This looks like flan.
