I found an old coffee can filled with old recipes that my great-grandmother used from the 1920's through the 1970's. While I have yet to actually try any, I hope to this coming summer, as there are a LOT of recipes for preserves. Some of these recipes are handwritten, and many are torn from newspapers and magazines. Please enjoy, and let me know if you try any!

Apple Cake

This is a raw apple cake - not an applesauce. Use 1 cup raw apples ground fine, 1 cup of raisins, 1 cup sugar, 4 tablespoons butter, 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon soda dissolved in 5 tablespoons sour milk, 3 scant cups four with 8 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon cloves. Bake in a moderate oven.
