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 Tomatoes

Remove seed from large ripe smooth tomatoes. Turn them upside down and set on ice to chill. Sprinkle inside with salt and fill with crisp celery, cucumber, and onion cut rather fine. Cooked diced meat or fish may be added. Serve on lettuce leaves topped with mayonnaise dressing.
