My MIL had only one cookbook a 1928 edition of The Boston Cooking School Cookbook by Fannie Merrit Farmer. The first printing was in 1896 for a total of 3,000 copies. When MIL died, my SIL snatched the book. So I hunted through antique stores until I found a 1934 version here in AZ. Having the same cookbook and reading the recipes she used to make was a way of feeling close to her.
Ingredients:
4 slices bacon
1 sliced onion
2 cups diced tomatoes
1 tablespoon italian tomato paste
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1/4 teaspoon mace
1 pinch cayenne
1 whole bay leaf
Directions:
1. Cut bacon in small pieces and try out, (fry to melt the bacon fat).
2. Add remaining ingredients, gradually bring to the boiling point and let simmer 50 minutes.
