Recipes, 1894 style
The recipes in this collection are representative of cooking in America in the
late 19th century, and the compilation of a cookbook shows the ways in which
women were beginning to organize and act both within their traditional roles and
outside of traditional expectations. The recipes are presented exactly as
written in 1894, and may not conform to current nutritional or food preparation
standards. Try at your own risk.

DRIED
PUMPKIN. MRS. J. EDD THOMAS.
Stew pumpkin as for pie; spread upon plates, and dry in the oven carefully. When
you wish to make pie, soak over night; then proceed as you would with fresh
pumpkin. Pumpkin prepared in this way will keep well until spring, and pies are
as good as when made with fresh pumpkin.
