Cranberry Sauce Recipe from 1924
Another project of mine is copying articles about the people in my home town from the oldest newspapers. (sylacaugahistory.com) Not only do I find interesting tidbits about the people and locale, I find recipes. Here is the traditional recipe for cranberry sauce proving that the more things change, the more they stay the same. It’s hard to beat the basic recipe for cranberry sauce.
From the Sylacauga (Alabama) News in 1924:
Quoted – “Perhaps some inexperienced housewife may be helped by the recipe for”:
Cranberry Sauce
Take six cupfuls of cranberries, three cupfuls of granulated sugar, one-half cupful of water. Wash and pick over the berries and add the sugar and water, but do not stir. After they begin to boil, cook ten minutes closely covered. Remove the scum and when cool they will be jellied, the skins soft and tender.
