Today I would like to share a recipe for Strawberry Pretzel Crust Salad and a recipe for Grape Tea.

STRAWBERRY PRETZEL CRUST SALAD

2 Cups broken pretzels

1 1/2 Sticks oleo, melted

3 Tablespoons sugar

1 Cup sugar

8 Ounces cream cheese

8 Ounces whipped topping

2 3-Ounce packages strawberry gelatin

2 Cups boiling water

2 10-Ounce packages frozen strawberries

Melt oleo in bottom of 9x13-inch pan. Spread broken pretzels evenly in pan and sprinkle 3 tablespoons sugar over pretzels. Bake 8 minutes at 400 degrees. Cream 1 cup sugar and cream cheese and fold in whipped topping. Spread mixture over cooled pretzel crust. Dissolve gelatin in boiling water. Add frozen strawberries. Cool until thickened and pour over top of cream cheese layer. Refrigerate. ( Hilda Holloway)

GRAPE TEA

1 Gallon water

1/2 Cup instant tea

3 1/2 Cups sugar

1 Cup grape juice

3/4 Cup Realemon lemon juice

Dissolve tea in water. Add other ingredients. Serve chilled over ice This is a delicious beverage with any meal and can even be served as a punch. Serves 15.

*When using frozen grape juice concentrate, it is best to dilute with only 2 cans of water rather than 3 cans as the directions call for. (Marquita Thomas)

**This is a nice beverage for Ladies Day Teas, showers, etc...

Hope you enjoy these two recipes! Have a wonderful Wednesday!
