Sheri's Notes:

I found this recipe on the wall of that old farmhouse mentioned in my other posts. A piece of history written on the kitchen walls. As I sat a re wrote every recipe I could make out with the years gone by and these old walls hidden behind a subwall my husband was tearing out to re model. It was like a hidden treasure. Of course it took my husband a bit longer to finish the job as I wrote all these recipes down. But it was so worth it, I hope you think so too.

Directions

Saute' eggplant, squash, onion and tomato in a oil until soft. Stirring constantly. Add remaining ingredients.

Put through a sieve, or into a blender, or served as is. good hot or cold.

Makes 4 cups.

The ones I am posting I have tried, some of them have no directions so I have to figure them out like a puzzle. Put it is so interesting and exciting
I haven't taken pics of many of them because I never expected to be able to share them in this way. I am so happy I can at least preserve them all.

Another farmhouse recipe that sounds really good! I really have to share your story on your recipe finds, on the walls of this old farmhouse. I just love it!

Sheri, how long ago was the treasured find???
What year did your Hubby take down the wall???

The walls came out of the house in 1992. To find the sub walls containing all the treasure. As it was a re-model job. my husband is a carpenter/drywaller, this was one of his jobs. so much is unknown about the origins or the people. The house clearly went through many stages, I just wrote down every single recipe I could find while he worked on other parts of the house and left me to the kitchen. For many years I thought of making them into a cookbook and now I have the chance to do that here In Just a Pinch.
