I gotta admit...these retro recipes do tend to have nice cross sections.

A solution of calcium chloride and sulfur dioxide is used to bleach the cherries, followed by vegetable food coloring to dye the cherries green, then soaked for a month in corn syrup to sweeten them.

Electric carving knives were a big thing in the 70s, so they probably used one of them to slice it.

She should make a shirt that says, “toast your nuts.”

Emmy birthed that log 😂 “you got this girl. Puuusssshhhh”

At first I read cool whip and was like oh that sounds nice wonder how it gets so firm. Then when I found out it was miracle whip my confidence in it fell drastically.

Nothing screams Christmas like pineapple & mayonnaise 😂

_Quote of The Day_ *"Now we're gonna poop this thing out." -Emmy*

I just think these concoctions were just fillers when they needed to get pages to fill up a recipe book. "Well why not use miracle whip, sliced pineapple, and whipped cream?" If it wasn't horrible and at least passible "Ok that's a print".

Mayo/miracle whip : exists 1950s-70s recipes: its free real estate

They do bleach the green cherries and re-color them with syrup. They actually do the same to the red ones.

Me reading the title: Oh Emmy no. Oh no. Ew. But boy do I love this and the Hard Times series

You’re the only person I can think of who’d “just happen to have” a. can of purple yam powder, :-)

I'm just gonna say, out of all the retro monstrosities you've made, this one doesn't actually seem that bad...

Someone replace the miracle whip with vanilla pudding and try this!

Your tone calling that crime against humanity a "can of whipped goodness" is suspiciously close to mine when I reference my "darling sister in law".

This reminds me of the pineapple salad my mother made in the 60’s & 70’s, that she discovered in Hawaii! On a lettuce leaf, place a pineapple ring, spread miracle whip on it, sprinkle it with shredded cheddar and place a candied (red) cherry in the center. Very Brady! Thank you, Emmy!

Now this is bound to be a conversation starter at any Christmas party!

This would be bomb with cream cheese instead of the miracle whip!

I love what you currently do so much but I just wanna say you would make such a calming nurse for women in labour

This would be great for Australian Christmas where it's always the middle of summer

Being the queen of substitutions, I’d like to sub plain Greek yogurt for the Miracle Whip and sub booze soaked Italian cherries for the green-red candied cherries.

Why we gotta put mayo in everything

Hawaiian Yule Log! This could easily be made vegan too! Use veganaise and coconut whipped cream and agave! Have to check the candied cherries but might just use regular ones.

Emmy, years ago here in Brazil there were some known cases of brands selling canned *squash* cut, dyed and artificially flavored as cherries! Nobody could tell the difference in some desserts. Could it be that those green cherries are squash as well? 🤔😂

I was down until the miracle whip lol

5:14 *me on the toilet the next morning after eating this* 💩🤭

My 4 year old granddaughter was caught saying so satisfying while watching KZfaq! Lol

I looove these retro recipes! They are so fascinating, I don’t know why

I’m thinking a 2 pound deli container might work well for this as well, this actually doesn’t look too bad I’m kind of intrigued and want to try it LOL 😋😃

I feel like cool whip would make this much more palatable for me.

I love how much information in a fun way she brings to every video her personality is gorgeous and she’s beautiful ♥️Happy Holidays Everyone

I'm new here and I'm loving the way you talk, so calm. Totally different from the other youtubers. Hi all the way from Brazil🇧🇷

Are we getting 5 days of bugmas again this year?

“Where’s my scented candle?” I can’t eat nuts I’m allergic in my old age. But I love seeing these old recipes.

My family used to make this but we used cream cheese instead of miracle whip and sweetened condensed milk instead of honey. We never shaped it in a log, we used to just put the mixture on top of pineapple slices which was nestled in a lettuce cup. So awesome to see it as a yulelog!!

You lost me at Miracle Whip 🤢 Enjoyed watching you make it though!!

I wonder what the vintage of that recipe is because I remember those logs when I was a kid. Ambrosia salad is a good way to describe it. Such a fun video.

"Were gonna poop this thing out..." Oh Lord.

Emmy, you just work so hard. you upload loads and the vids are always top notch. you always make me smile. Im taking a break from editing right now and it always gives me more respect for creators who upload as often as you do

If Emmy would have first sprayed that can w. a neutral cooking spray like canola or Pam, it would likely have slid out w/o even needing to use a spatula.

Emmy notification squad 😤💪

Wow I have never been so early! This looks absolutely delicious by the way! I'm drooling on the other side of the screen lol.

love you Emmy hope u have a wonderful holiday just wanted to say that ur one of the nicest person ive seen 😊❤

That looks like a good take for a Christmas dessert for those who live in warmer climates (including the southern hemisphere, where it's actually summer, now), and the idea of baking the traditional yule log just makes you want to 'nope out.'

Miracle whip and cool whip has been keeping America going for 50 years.

I adore these fun retro recipes😄❤💚 At the bakery I used to work at we called them glace cherries. I remember they were super sticky and difficult to work with🍒🍒🍒 We used them to top our butter cookies

As someone who grew up eating pineapple sandwiches (which is a slice of canned pineapple and miracle whip on white bread, usually cut in a circle). I really want to try this lol

The way Emmy was speaking as she pushed out the log made her sound like an extremely polite midwife.

One of my "secret weapons" in the kitchen is adding 1/4 to 1/2 cup of miracle whip to a batch of spaghetti sauce. I swear, it adds so much creamy depth and just a touch of tang that plays well with the acidity already in the tomatoes. My mom saw it in a magazine when I was a kid and used to make it. I suddenly remembered it a few years back and have been doing it since. Sounds weird, but is really good. Start with a 1/4 cup per quart of sauce for spaghetti, but if going for something baked and cheesy, go up to a 1/2 cup.

I don't think I've had this exact recipe before, but I grew up on food combinations like this and I can clearly imagine what it tastes like. I legitimately want to try this recipe, I think it would be so nostalgic.

Emmy, the ambrosia you mention, all gloppy sweet, is not the original. I used to make this as a side for Thanksgiving: nice, juicy oranges, peeled. pith and membrane removed, juice reserved, layered with fresh, shredded coconut. One may add fresh pineapple, if desired. Fine sugar may be lightly sprinkled depending on the sweetness of the fruit. Dry sherry is lightly sprinkled. Pour over reserved juice, end with coconut and decorate with good quality maraschino cherries. I believe I found this recipe in one of Natalie Depree's terrific Southern cookbooks.

Yay, a new retro recipe! These things are fascinating.

I can't count how many time I watch the retro recipe videos and involuntarily shake my head in disgust the whole time. Thanks for trying these so we never have to!

I just love these retro recipes!!

Wow amazing 👍

My grandma would make an angel food cake and then through the layer between and in the center and over it would put miracle whip mixed with pineapple and coconut. Then cover it with strawberries and blueberries. So freaking good. I miss her and her cooking.

$5.56 per serving is outrageous for a home cooked meal . Do better Hello Fresh. Or just go to the grocery once a week, people.

Oh Emmy, I absolutely adore you. I've been doing laundry and packing all day today for my trip home, and you've brightened it up for me. ♥️

That looks amazing Emmy! Much love ❤️ I might make this later this week!

About candied cherries, I don't sure know how yours are made. But in Brazil, some bakers make them with chayote, cut in round shapes, cooked, soaked on sugar syrup and food coloring. Real fresh cherries are really expensive here, at least in the Amazon region. Maybe yours are made in quite similar way.

That was so satisfying~~~

Oh, you're gonna love this. I decided to make this. Now more than ever, since it's become an adventure. First..in the small town I live in, apparently, candied cherries (especially green ones) are a rare item. After searching 4 stores, I finally found some. Expensive little buggers. If I'd know this ahead of time, I could have had them shipped. (Actually, before I found them, and it being too late for shipping, I was going to resort to cherries and grapes from fruit cocktail..just kinda dry them off on paper towels. Hey I was desperate.) So, I have all ingredients assembled. Then I remembered Emmy saying "Toast your Nuts". Now, I'm not a nut person (nutty yes, but...) I've never toasted any nut. So, I cranked up the toaster oven. It defaulted to 20 minutes. I figured I check in on em every few minutes. I came out to the computer to look something up. Suddenly, I smell something burning. I rush to the kitchen for find the charred remains of my slivered almonds. The room full of smoke and house reeking. Oh joy. I live 15 miles from town. I did not want to go back in. Thankfully, a friend was still in town, and is coming to my rescue. Now I'm wondering what else can go wrong. ??? After all of this, it better taste awesome, and everyone better love it. Y'all have a Very Merry Christmas!! UPDATE: Well, it's looking good. Got it ready to go. One thing I did do, that made this really easy to get out of the can, was line the in sides with wax paper, and a piece at the top. After running hot water over the outside of the can for a few minutes, I turned it upside down and tapped the bottom & sides. It slid right out. With the wax paper still around it, made it less messy to handle getting it to the nuts. Now I can use the can again, since I didn't have to cut off the end.

Earliest I’ve ever been. Love this channel so much!!

Dude it looks soo good tho!!

Great job! My grandmother made a savory version of this with cream cheese, pineapple, almonds, chopped red bell pepper, green onion, and garlic.

Miracle whip, cream, canned fruit salad (drained, this is also optional and can be replaced with meat like chicken strips, bacon or chopped ham) and macaroni. My mom used to make this every christmas when I was a kid. Sometimes she omit the fruit salad and make a salad out of it (canned fruit salad (drained), grated coconut, cream, condensed milk, kaong and nata de coco).

yay, i love the retro recipe series, of course - miracle whip!

Love these retro recipes!!

Always love emmy- and my child does too :)

I saw a picture of this abomination in a retro ad and upon Googling it, was delighted to see a video on it on one of my favorite food channels! Yay, Emmy! Thanks for doing this!

I always forget about these until I see you do it, this one is actually delicious.

We did make this once when I was a child. We convinced our mother it was a good idea. She humoured us (bless that woman

I love you like cookies Emmy, but any recipe that requires a heating pad is a huge NOPE. 🤣

This reminds me of what my grandma calls Apple salad. She takes apples (any variety), grapes, bananas, raisins, walnuts, mini marshmallows and celery. She slices them into small pieces. Then she takes mayo, milk, and sugar and makes a sort of sauce that she pours over, just enough to sort of make it all come together. It’s one of my favorites! This video reminds me of her and makes me smile, we laid her to rest today so I really needed that. Thank you! ❤️

My mother use to make this. Minus the nuts . I had forgotten all about that. Thanks for

I was going over an old cookbook from my Nana and it was astounding how many recipes used either miracle whip or bologna, or both.

Thank you emmy for this idea. Merry Christmas

That looks tasty

“Where’s my scented candle?” :P

My great aunt used to make something like this. She was eccentric and fabulous and had purple hair before it was actually “in”...I remember my grandmother saying “Ethel is good at a lot of things...but not cooking.” Hahaha!

I've been sugar preserving my citrus fruits for the last month or so; Wow, so wonderful in baked goods! I made orange cranberry muffins with my orange preserves, just delish! It's so easy to do too: just layer a slice of two of fruit in a sterilized jar, cover with equal amount of sugar, fill jar ending with sugar. Let stand three weeks before using, shake every day or so. Doesn't need to be refrigerated either, although you can. Merry Christmas to you and yours, thanks for all the great videos!

Where's my candle scent? I grew up on desserts like this. 😅

Emmy I love how fearless and nonjudgmental you are

My grandpa use to make a miracle whip dressing for jello salad and it was FABULOUS so I imagine that’s what this tastes like 😍❤️

I found you from these videos, so I'm glad to see a new episode, so glad I stumbled across you, you're the youtube channel I never knew I needed until I found you!

Thank you Emmy for keeping up the tradition of wierd a** holiday videos 😊

Looks like I've been transported back to the 1950s! It's a strange and wonderful place, and since I'm not nearly old enough to remember it, completely bizzare and full of miracle whip :P

Wow this is amazing!!! I already love dole whip how much better is this!!! 😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️

My mother wore a shirt like that when I was little. My father said it made me cross my eyes!

Merry Christmas Emmy!

That looks scrumptious indeed! Nice to see pineapple used as more than a pizza topping!

Awesome video! That looks delicious!❤

Happy Christmas Emmy! I hope you and your fam have a great new year!

"Now we're gonna poop this thing out"...Thank you for the laugh, Emmy :)

Well. Now I need to know about the cherries!

My grandma made a little snack of pineapple, mayo, bananas, and chopped peanuts. Yum! It was so good!

Oh my god. I’m gonna thin Christmas Eve now that this has been brought to my attention.

i imagine the cherrys are also to make it colorful and evoke fruitcake. wasnt expecting you to like this one, i love your retro videos!

I have the same toaster oven/air fryer emmy has in the background! It's great!
