Title A name given to the resource RCA0006 - The Yetka family collection that started the project Subject The topic of the resource Cooking Recipe Cards Description An account of the resource This was the collection that started it all. I found this posted on eBay as a large lot of recipe cards, clippings, and other cooking related materials but not box to contain them all. When I received the collection, I was hooked. There were lots of handwritten cards, typed cards, clippings glued to cards, promotional cards, and everything in between. As I worked through the archival steps on these, there were lots of little nuances that stood out. First, you’ll see quite a few cards with magazine and newspaper clippings that I’ve included. These stood out to me because there was clearly a lot of care put into cutting these out and then gluing them to cards to include in their recipe box. I find this extra time and care speaks a lot to me about the value of these clippings versus the hundreds of clippings that were simply loose in the collection. Second, there were a lot of canning and pickling related cards here. So much has changed about canning since the time period of this collection. The use of alum and lime certainly stood out as neither are recommended by the USDA anymore. Additionally, many of the recipes expected a level of knowledge about the overall process. For example, none of the cards explain the actual water bath canning tools or process. Lastly, I got to learn a whole new (to me) unit of measure, the peck. One peck is 8 dry quarts. Third, there is a type of dessert that self-separates during baking which I found completely fascinating. An example of this is “Cake Lemon Pie” (RCA0006-20260609-0111). This is high on my list of recipes to try so I can get my head better wrapped about the separation during cooking. I also spent a good bit of time polishing the recipe parsing process during this collection. The formatted versions should be more consistent going forward and I’ll be trying to capture interesting notes in the Editor’s Note section at the bottom.

Title A name given to the resource Fresh Strawberry Pie Description An account of the resource Fresh Strawberry Pie 1) Bake pie shell 2) Place fresh strawberries for 1 pkg of frozen berries 3) Add 2/3 cup sugar Prepare & Cool 1/3 c flour before pouring 1/2 pkg strawberry jello over berries Back: blank --- # Fresh Strawberry Pie ## Ingredients ### Crust - 1 baked 9" pie shell, cooled ### Filling - 1 lb (1 quart) fresh strawberries, hulled and halved *(or 1 package frozen strawberries, thawed and drained)* ### Glaze - 2/3 cup sugar - 1/3 cup flour - 1/2 package strawberry Jello (approximately 1 1/2 Tbsp) - 1 cup water or reserved strawberry juice (see Editor's Notes) ## Instructions 1. Bake pie shell and cool completely. 2. Arrange fresh strawberries evenly in the cooled pie shell. 3. In a small saucepan, whisk together sugar, flour, and water or juice until smooth. 4. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and comes to a boil — approximately 5 to 8 minutes. 5. Remove from heat and stir in strawberry Jello until fully dissolved. 6. Cool glaze until thickened but still pourable, approximately 20 to 30 minutes. 7. Pour cooled glaze evenly over berries in the pie shell. 8. Refrigerate until fully set, at least 2 hours, before serving. ## Editor's Notes - **Strawberry quantity** not specified on original card; 1 lb (1 quart) fresh strawberries inferred from standard 9" pie volume and the glaze quantity — 2/3 cup sugar and 1/2 package Jello is calibrated for approximately this amount of fruit. Confirmed by the frozen berry alternate option, which was typically sold in 10 to 16 oz packages. - **Glaze liquid** entirely absent from original card — cooking the sugar, flour, and Jello with liquid is the implied missing step. 1 cup water is the standard reconstruction; juice drained from thawed frozen berries (if using the alternate) adds flavor.
