Happy New Year! I hope 2013 has been good to you so far. In my research (see my last post from December 28th) I've been re-reading a lot of Gold Rush-era American newspapers and magazines (Google Books is my friend!) including Godey's
Lady's Book. Because of letters to the editor from "California correspondents", we know that Californians were reading the
Lady's Book during the Gold Rush, and probably followed the recipes printed in each issue. Oranges will be coming into season in Northern California this month, so here is a ca. 1852 recipe from Godey's for a good midwinter dessert: Orange Jelly.
