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!

Prune Velvet

A delicious dessert. One and one-half cups prune pulp, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, 1 1/2 cups whipped cream. Mix prune pulp, sugar, walnuts, and vanilla and fold in whipped cream. Pour in mold, cover, pack in 3 parts of cracked ice to 1 part of rock salt for 3 or 4 hours. Will serve 8 persons. Can be made the day before and is nice for a Sunday evening "pick-up."
