Burlington Vermont 1875

June 8th 1875

Buns

1 ½ cups milk warmed

½ cup sugar

½ cup yeast stir in flour and rise over night

Add ¼ cup sugar

¼ cup butter

¼ cup currants mould & rice

E.D.S.

I am not certain that the word is mould, but I don’t know what else it could be; and why rice?  Neither of these words have anything to do with buns; so maybe, you take a look at it and see what you think. 

Avondale Pennsylvania 1912

June 8th 1912

Barbecued Frankfurters                     Very Good

2 tablespoons of butter

1/3 cup chopped onion

½ cup catsup

1 teaspoon prepared mustard

¼ cup vinegar

1/3 cup water

½ dill pickle or ½ medium sized fresh cucumber diced.

8 frankfurters

8 frankfurter buns

2 teaspoons of sugar

Melt butter in a skillet, add onion and simmer until onion is soft, but not browned.  Add the catsup, mustard, vinegar, water, pickle and sugar.  Split the frankfurters lengthwise but only about 2/3 of the way through.  Lay in sauce, cover and cook at a simmering temperature about fifteen minutes basting the frankfurters every five minutes with the sauce. 

DAILY RECIPES BY CALENDAR

As an ongoing feature here, I will add to this each day the recipes out of several books I have that are dated or from calendar books

A small leather covered calendar book from Burlington Vermont dated 1875.  It has all kinds of lovely handwritten dessert recipes; the front of the book has an overview of each month and a predictive weather chart, the difference of tie between Boston and New York, the value of gold and silver at the time and other interesting things like rates of postage. 

The list of names for the people who contributed recipes for these books are listed here;
