## Editor's Notes
- **"1 pk"** = 1 peck, a standard dry measure of the era equal to 8 dry quarts or approximately 2 gallons volume. For green tomatoes this is roughly 10 to 12 lbs whole or 12 to 14 cups chopped. Produce was commonly sold by the peck at farm stands and markets; recipes of this scale were typical fall preserving batches.
- **"India Relish"** — the parenthetical alternate title refers to India Relish, a well-documented mid-century American spiced vegetable relish. The name derives from a loose association with Indian-style chutneys rather than direct Indian origin. Widely reprinted in community cookbooks of the era. -

## Editor's Notes
- **Culinary context:** This recipe is a fascinating American adaptation of Welsh Rabbit (or Rarebit) — the classic British dish of melted cheese sauce served over toast. Here the cheese sauce is extended with canned tomato and chipped beef, both wartime pantry staples, producing a dish that is distinctly American mid-century while retaining the Welsh Rabbit structure of a rich, savory, egg-thickened sauce on toast.
- **"Thick strained canned tomato"** — canned tomatoes pushed through a strainer to remove seeds and excess liquid, producing a thick, smooth purée. Modern equivalent: tomato purée or strained crushed tomatoes. Not tomato soup or tomato juice. -

## Editor's Notes
- **"sal soda"** — Washing soda (sodium carbonate), a common household alkali used in pre-lye soap recipes of this era.
- **"gum camphor"** — Solid camphor resin, historically used in soap-making as an antiseptic and fragrance agent.
- **"citronella"** — Citronella oil, used here as a fragrance and insect-repellent additive.
- **"tallow"** — Rendered animal fat (typically beef or mutton), the primary base fat in this soap formula.
- **No water quantity specified** — The card lists no water; it is likely that the tallow is melted and the dry ingredients dissolved into it or a small amount of water, but no quantity is given. This is a significant omission for replication. -

To Remove Pulp From Sunkist Oranges
To Remove Pulp From Sunkist Oranges
Pare the orange with a sharp knife,
removing every particle of the thin inside
membrane with the peel. This will leave
the orange pulp exposed. Hold the or-
ange over a plate, so that any juice which
may drop will be saved. Insert the point
of the knife at the stem end of the orange,
close to the membrane that divides the sections.
Carefully work the knife in, separating the mem-
brane from the section. Then carefully separate
the section of orange from the membrane on its
other side; remove the whole orange section, com-
plete in shape, and entirely free from membrane.
Repeat until all the sections are removed.
NOTE:—In these recipes all measurements are made
level. Measuring-cups, divided into thirds and quarters,
are used, and tea and table measuring-spoons. Cups of
dry material are filled to overflowing, by putting the
material into the cup with a tablespoon, and are then
leveled off with a knife. Tea and tablespoons are filled heaping with dry material, and then leveled off with
a knife. Most of the recipes on these cards are proportioned to serve four people.
