HOw To CREAMY CRUSTENE

A very dear friend of mine found this while helping clean out a home for an estate sale.  He snapped a picture, sent it to me and said "here, use this on your blog and ask people about it, make it a conversation starter".

Creamy Crustene Shortening Can
So I did and I am!  I'm looking at it and seeing that it was an 8 lb can of all-vegetable shortening from the Wesson company.  Anyone ever heard of this brand?  If it was used perhaps only in baking or maybe for something else?  It's a great can and makes us wonder about products that were around once upon a time but have been forgotten over time. 

 Ironically, 2nd Man and I were talking about decorating the kitchen at the farm with old cans just like this.  They are usually so vibrant and colorful and make great places to store new things.  In a small house, something decorative AND storage related is always welcome.  I always keep an eye out at thrift stores but sadly, I think a lot of things like this end up getting thrown away as trash.

I wish we could make the estate sale and pick it up, ha.

    I have the recipe for pinwheel icebox cookies that is on a piece of cardboard and it calls for Crustene. This was my favorite cookie my Mom made and I found it in going through her things. So glad your post was on Google so that
    now I can make them using Crisco. I was born in 1942 and according to another article, Crustene was sold in a box with this and other recipes on the flap in the early 40's. Of course, they may not taste as good because I was a child and they were made with a mother's love.
