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!

Stuffed Cucumber Salad

Pare medium large cucumbers and soak in salt water 1 hour or more. Make a filling of cottage cheese, seasoned with salt, pepper, pimentos, onion, and mayonnaise. Cull out centers from cucumber and fill with the cheese mixture. Slice and serve on lettuce with mayonnaise.
