Don't leave the museum without getting a Dr Pepper from the antique soda fountain,  I recommend adding a scoop of Blue Bell vanilla ice cream.

It has been said that imitation Texans drink their Dr. Pepper with scotch whiskey but real Texans drink their Dr Pepper straight.

By Dublin (Dublin, Texas) the hot spices for the wings, you can notch the “heat” up.

Stir in liquid pectin at once. Bring to a full rolling boil. Boil hard 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, skim off foam with a metal spoon.

Pour quickly into hot sterilized jars and seal. Makes 5 (6-ounce) glasses.

(Better yet just put in quart jar-cool-refrigerate. You are going to eat it soon anyway. So goooooooooood)

Dr Pepper Jell-O
"Thanks to Jean Morris for this recipe"

• 1 box cherry Jell-O
• ½ cup boiling water
• 1-1/2 cups Dr Pepper (or Coke)

Dissolve the Jell-O in the boiling* water. Add the Dr Pepper. Use a large container as it foams when you add the Dr Pepper. Chill and eat. Will remind you of an old fountain Cherry Dr. Pepper. Also gives the Jell-O a little tingle!
