SAMPLE RECIPE From:
"
LONG LOST RECIPES OF AUNT SUSAN"
[Or how about this
HONEY-ORANGE BUTTER
from The Daily Oklahoman, June 1936?- Editor]
Cream
1/3 cup butter
. Add the
rind of 1 orange
, finely grated (omit the pulp; it is bitter). Mix together and gradually add
1/2 cup of honey
. Whip together and keep on hand to use on hot toast.

Think of this recipe when the tomato vines in your garden are laden:
Allow
2 thin slices of bacon
and
1 whole medium-sized tomato
for each serving. [The bacon strips must be long enough to encircle each tomato.] Half-fry the bacon and lay 2 slices
crisscross. Remove a thin slice from the bud end of each tomato so it will stand and settle it in the middle of the cross.
Add
salt and pepper
and a bit of
mustard
to each tomato. Close the bacon ends over the top, fastening them down through the stem end of the tomato with a toothpick.
Dust the tomatoes with
brown sugar
. Bake in a preheated 450° F. oven for about 20 minutes, or until the bacon is crisp and the
tomatoes are heated through. Top with a slice of
Bread and Butter pickle
and nestle into a bed of fluffy
cooked rice
. This may also be cooked under the broiler, if you watch carefully.
