                <text>A fun collection spanning decades and states.  This collection appears to have started life in Madison, WI and migrated to Bellingham, WA around 1979.  There are a lot of names includes and some really fun recipes.  I especially like the three commercially printed cards that include the contributors stories on the back.  The stories add a glimpse into the history of the recipe and the contributor.&#13;
&#13;
There are also several written recipes that I'm going to put on my 'to try' list.  Vintage Wineberry Jam where you ferment the berries for a week before cooking into jam to give a wine character (maybe?).  Bavarian Oven Stew just sounds super easy and tasty.  And, let's not forget Bhajan's Banquet, which both sounds really interesting and the owner liked it enough to have the recipe in the collection twice.&#13;
&#13;
An interesting note on the cards in this collection.  Many of them were reused cards from a business that made loans of some manner.  Many included notes of previous last names, comments like 'Bankrupt', 'Legal', and many customer names.  I've removed the card backs on most of the cards and those where I couldn't exclude the whole back, I redacted the information.  Adds an interesting level of additional depth to the overall collection though.</text>

## Editor's Notes

- **Food safety note:** This recipe uses pressure canning (10 pounds pressure, 30 minutes for pints), which is the correct method for low-acid vegetables such as zucchini and tomato-vegetable mixtures. Modern USDA guidelines should be consulted before canning, as recommended processing times and pressures may have been updated since this card was written. Altitude adjustments to pressure may also be required.
- **Food safety note:** The serving suggestion instructs boiling the canned product for 10 minutes before serving, which was a common older precaution for home-canned low-acid vegetables.</text>
