Read this one with the card open. Something on it is illegible, missing or ambiguous. It is transcribed exactly as written, nothing has been guessed or filled in, and every uncertainty is marked below.
Summary
The cooked glaze for a strawberry pie — sugar, water and cornstarch thickened and tinted with strawberry jelly. Look here for the glaze proportions; the card does not cover the strawberries or the crust, so it is half a pie recipe rather than a whole one.
Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup water
- 2 T. corn starch (spelled "corn startch" on the card)
- pinch salt
- 3 T strawberry jelly
Method
Cook sugar, water, cornstarch and salt until clear. Add jelly and a few drops of red food colouring. Let cool a few minutes.
Notes on the artifact
A lined index card in an upright printed hand, blue ballpoint, headed "ingredants:" (as written) on the
front and "prep and cooking instructions" on the back. The same hand and the same card stock as
banana-bread from this batch — the two are evidently from one writer's set. One word in the method is
struck through and illegible.
