Treasure Found!
Today I struck gold.
Going through some old canning books, I found Mom's recipe for bread and butter pickles. Written in her own hand. It's the recipe that has won nine blue ribbons (and six of other colors) for me at the Minnesota State Fair. Handwritten! I can tell that she copied it from something - the spelling and punctuation were correct. (Usually when she wrote, the first word began with a capital letter and the document ended with a period. In between, you were on your own.) Vi?naja pamjat', Matka. -- Barb, http://www.barbschaller.com, as of April 8, 2013. |

My mother and yours must have had a connection, Mom's spelling was, at best, a wild guess and she didn't know what punctuation was. What's the language, looks Finnish? George, resting up from a strenuous trip to the supermarket. Oy vey! the prices nowadays. |

I have the recipe as written down by my mom (and I've tweaked it a bit), but to my joy I found inside mom's old recipe box the original recipe clipped from the Pioneer Press newspaper column. I discovered the original recipe included cornflakes, which mom never bothered with. |
