You never know what you'll find

Many years ago when I was a kid, I went through my aunt's recipe box and typed up dozens of recipes on index cards, some of which I don't remember her making and I've never made since.

But I do remember the name "Jubilee Raisin Jumbles." Inspired by your story, I just went through my recipe box and found it the card, done with the rickety typewriter with the "u" missing (which I filled in by hand).

Jubilee Raisin Jumbles Aunt Linda

1/2 c shortening (half butter) 1-1/2 c sugar 1-1/2 tsp vanilla 1-1/2 tsp almond extract 2 eggs 2-1/4 c sifted flour 1 tsp salt 1/2 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp baking soda 1 c sour milk or cream 1-1/2 c raisins (or candied fruit)

Cream shortening and sugar & flavoring. Add sifted flour & eggs with salt, baking powder & soda. Drop dough onto greased sheets. Bake 375 for 10 min. Cool on wire rack and frost with a butter frosting.

(No recipe for "a butter frosting" provided. The recipe Jill found looks good!)

Generally my aunt made sour milk by adding 1 T vinegar to a cup of milk.
