Childhood memories again

Yesterday as I drove back after picking up Eden I was telling her what we were going to have for dinner and said that I hade made some orange jelly with mandarin segments in as I know orange jelly is one of her favourites. We were going to have this with some creme fraiche and then I remembered some of my childhood favourites.
Because I had two brothers and two sisters and money was tight we had some quite different 'treats' as children. Of course there wasn't the choice of foods that we have today but despite this, we ate a very healthy diet. Sometimes as a special treat for dessert we would have evaporated milk instead of custard on home made pies or on jellies. This to us was as good as cream. Eden has never had this so I have said that I will get some one day so that she can try it too.
I can also remember giving this to my two when they were small too, tinned peaches with evaporated milk was special and they also had things like Angel delight which you can still get today! There was also another dessert that I used to make with evaporated milk and a packet of jelly and that was a cross between a milk jelly and a mousse. I used to make a packet of jelly to half the quantity and leave until just beginning to set. Then I would whip a small tin of evaporated milk until it was very thick and frothy then fold it into the setting jelly. This was put in the fridge for a few hours until set and always finished off in one sitting!
Perhaps I should revisit some of my favourite childhood recipes and try them out on Eden from time to time.
