Fare Exchange: Making cranberry relish and creamed onions

Good morning, indispensable readers. Today’s requests include Greek salad dressing, sugar cookies and tinted icing once printed in the newspaper, and burnt caramel pie.

• R.C.B. went to lunch at his favorite place, Park Place Restaurant in Fort Oglethorpe, Ga., and had his favorite meal, Greek salad. “The dressing is wonderful and, unlike most restaurant salads, they give you plenty of dressing for drenching the salad. I would love to have that dressing recipe or something like it. It is thick and creamy.”

• Kittie Stauffer has made an extensive search for a sugar cookie recipe, complete with icing that can be tinted with different food colorings. “It was printed in the newspaper. In an article about a project for children. This recipe seemed like an old one to me, and that is just what I was looking for.”

• Alice Stevenson is looking for a recipe “for a burnt caramel pie. It is like a butterscotch pie, but better, and uses granulated sugar instead of brown sugar. This makes the burnt part.” And you will see below that Ms. Stevenson sent a gift as well, a dish she calls cranberry relish. That recipe, says Cooper, really looks like a salad and certainly is suitable for January and February.
