Place the pineapple, cherries, sugar and starter in gallon jar and let stand one week. (over) Back: 2 nd wk. repeat 3 rd " " 4 th " " 5 th ready to eat Jan. 16/66 (Tillie) --- # Pineapple-Cherry Holiday Delight *A traditional "Friendship Fruit" fermented fruit starter dish* ## Ingredients - 1 lb jar maraschino cherries - 1 can chunk pineapple - 1 cup sugar - 1 cup starter (see Editor's Notes) ## Instructions 1. Drain pineapple and cherries. 2. Place the pineapple, cherries, sugar, and starter in a gallon jar. Cover loosely (do not seal airtight) and let stand at room temperature one week, stirring every few days. 3. 2nd week: Add same amounts of pineapple, cherries, sugar, and starter. Stir, cover loosely, and let stand another week. 4. 3rd week: Repeat. 5. 4th week: Repeat. 6. 5th week: Fruit is ready to use. ## Serving Suggestions - Drain fruit and serve over vanilla ice cream - Use drained fruit in a dense holiday pound or fruit cake - Serve alongside ham or holiday dishes - Strain liquid and serve as a sweet cordial - Reserve 1 cup of liquid as starter to pass along to friends ## Editor's Notes **What is a "starter"?** This is a traditional "Friendship Fruit" recipe — a self-perpetuating fermented fruit mixture passed between friends and neighbors, similar in concept to a sourdough starter. Each batch produces enough liquid to share a cup with someone else to begin their own batch. **If you don't have a starter:** Substitute 1 cup brandy or rum. The alcohol approximates what a mature fermented starter would contribute. After one week of fermentation with the fruit and sugar, the mixture will develop its own active starter character. **Storage:** Keep at room temperature throughout the process. Cover loosely — the jar must not be sealed airtight as the active fermentation produces gas. **Stirring:** Stir every few days throughout each week to keep fermentation active and even. **"Ready to eat" (week 5):** Refers to the fermented fruit, not the liquid. The liquid can be strained off separately as a sweet boozy cordial or reserved as starter for the next batch. **The "friendship" tradition:** Recipes like this were passed between neighbors and family members along with a cup of active starter — the gift of the starter was the gift of the recipe. Without received starter, the recipe is incomplete, which is why the from-scratch substitution above is useful for modern cooks.

Some of the cards had the 'recipe from the kitchen of' filled in with names and even dates which gives a ton of history and context. Additionally, this collection had some interesting nuances. Firstly, there was one card (0015 - Molded Ambrosia) where the instructions on the rear of the card were partly documented with some kind of short hand. I was not able to decipher the short hand, but with AI help, I was able to suss out the instructions. Additionally, there are a number of repeated recipes in the collection. This hints at a few possibilities. The two main ideas to me are either recipes were requested from the original cooks more than once, or more than one collection was combined over time. 0005, 0031, and 0032 are great examples of this. Two of the recipes (0005 and 0031) are for 'Corn Cakes' and note that the recipe is from Edna Fausz. Edna is also mentioned on a recipe (0032) for 'Cloud Light Pancakes' which shows as being from the kitchen of Alice Gall. This seems to imply that for 'Cloud Light Pancakes' Alice got the recipe from Edna originally, wrote it down and applied her label and then sent the card to Paula. The other two (0005/0031) were also originally from Edna and sent by way of Alice to Paula. These links are what make these collections so much more than just the recipes.

Title A name given to the resource RCA0003 - VTG LG Wood Recipe Box Dove Tail w/Metal Hinges Full Of Recipes & Handwritten Subject The topic of the resource Cooking Recipe Cards Description An account of the resource This is a collection I found on eBay that turned out to have a lot of really interesting aspects to it. Some of the cards had the 'recipe from the kitchen of' filled in with names and even dates which gives a ton of history and context. Additionally, this collection had some interesting nuances. Firstly, there was one card (0015 - Molded Ambrosia) where the instructions on the rear of the card were partly documented with some kind of short hand. I was not able to decipher the short hand, but with AI help, I was able to suss out the instructions. Additionally, there are a number of repeated recipes in the collection. This hints at a few possibilities. The two main ideas to me are either recipes were requested from the original cooks more than once, or more than one collection was combined over time. 0005, 0031, and 0032 are great examples of this. Two of the recipes (0005 and 0031) are for 'Corn Cakes' and note that the recipe is from Edna Fausz. Edna is also mentioned on a recipe (0032) for 'Cloud Light Pancakes' which shows as being from the kitchen of Alice Gall. This seems to imply that for 'Cloud Light Pancakes' Alice got the recipe from Edna originally, wrote it down and applied her label and then sent the card to Paula. The other two (0005/0031) were also originally from Edna and sent by way of Alice to Paula. These links are what make these collections so much more than just the recipes.
