Personal Notes: | Personal Notes: Jane sent me some recipes that were loose in Grandma's cookbook and this was among them! I was looking through them on Grandma's birthday and found it! There was no date on the label. The back of the label had part of a pie recipe but this was clearly the recipe Grandma had saved. The tins and the preserving sure sound familiar. I capitalized what was capitalized on the recipe, so we're probably looking at the Dromedary brand. |
