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!

Sugarless Brownies

You "brownie" fans will be happy to know that sugar rationing needn't spoil your fun. Here's a recipe for sugarless brownies. Cream 1/2 cup of shortening until fluffy and add 1 cup dark or light corn syrup. Mix well and add 2 squares of unsweetened chocolate which has been melted. Sift together 3/4 cup flour, 1/4 teaspoon baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Alternately add dry ingredients with 2 well-beaten eggs, stirring after each adition. Add 3/4 cup of chopped nut meats. Bake in a greased pan for 30 to 35 minutes in a moderate oven. Cut in squares as soon as baked and cool before removing from the pan. Cookies or cakes containing syrup should be beaten more than usual.
