Today’s recipe from Nora’s Cookbook is a condiment recipe for Carrot Honey. Nora notes that it is “good with cold meat.” She gives the recipe, with only a line to “pack in clean hot jars, and seal” for the preservation instructions. This is probably a reflection that most women living near Nora during this time knew how to preserve by canning without extra instructions.
