cool recipes!

I recall a knockoff version published in the Dayton Daily News many years ago that I made, but it included a bit of white pepper. It tasted more authetic than this rendition, though this is pretty good. This is a verion I’d need to make adjustments on a bit to get it right, and maybe buy a jar of the real stuff for comparison as it’s been a number of years.

After multiple trial and error attempts in comparison with the real Pine Club House Dressing, my recipe is as follows:

1.5 cups vegetable oil
.5 cup cider vinegar
.3 cup sugar

1 ts salt
2 ts garlic powder
1/8th ts white pepper

The posted prior version has way too much garlic powder, salt, and vinegar. With my version, I might tweak it at times and have slightly less oil and slightly more vinegar, but the ratio of oil to vinegar should never go below 2.5 to 1….just a shade under 3 to 1 being very, very close to the real Pine Club house dressing.

I almost forgot to add, it is crucial that one blends the recipe in a food processor to emulsify it and give it the same texture as the real deal. Seperation will be greatly reduced, with just a slight shake later for the small amount of vinegar that seperates out of both the real and knockoff versions.
