                <text>A small, but interesting collection.  The cards in this box spanned from classic recipes, to soap, to DIY bee pollen to keep your bees alive until they can start harvesting their own pollen.  There were also some repeated recipes and, of those, the Sour Milk Pancakes stood out.  There are two versions of that recipe in the collection.  Sour Milk Pancakes is the older version and expects that cooks have soured milk on hand.  Later on, the recipe was updated to use buttermilk instead.  From what I can find online, this transition happened as home refrigeration became more common.  Prior to homes having a refrigerator, milk would sour fairly quickly and would then be used for the acid in recipes like this rather than having the sour milk go to waste.&#13;
&#13;
Another standout recipe in this set is Sukiyaki (for 100 People).  The scale of this recipe indicates that this collection was built by someone who would cook for large events.  There are also a few other recipes, like Punch, that are scaled for a crowd.  One of the recipes (Chicken Casserole) is attributed to 'Pres. and Sis. Kimball' which could indicate members of the Church of Latter-Day Saints.</text>

# Jello Dessert

## Ingredients

- 1 large package strawberry Jell-O
- 2 cups boiling water
- 1 1/2 cups cold water
- 1 large can (14 oz) evaporated milk, chilled until still but not frozen
- 3/4 cup sugar
- Juice of 1 1/2 lemons
- Grated (fine) rind of 1 1/2 lemons
- 12–15 graham crackers, crushed fine

## Instructions

1. Dissolve the strawberry Jell-O in 2 cups boiling water. Add 1 1/2 cups cold water. Let set until clabbery (partially gelled).
2. Chill the evaporated milk until very cold but not frozen, so it will whip. Whip until stiff, then add the sugar and the juice and grated rind of 1 1/2 lemons.
3. Whip the partially set Jell-O until foamy, then fold in the whipped milk mixture.
4. Crush the graham crackers until fine. Sprinkle half of the cracker crumbs into a 10x14 pan.
5. Pour the Jell-O mixture over the crumb layer, then sprinkle the remaining cracker crumbs over the top.
6. Chill overnight or longer before serving.

## Editor's Notes

- **"clabbery"** — a period term meaning partially set or thickened, used to describe Jell-O at the soft-gel stage, similar to a loose pudding consistency. Equivalent to "slightly thickened" or "syrupy" in modern recipe language.</text>
