The Seattle Brides Cook Book published by The Union Advertising Co., Suite 302, Epler Block, Seattle, Washington. We are unable to locate the date of publication in the book; however, in 1900, it was a gift to our grandmother on her seventeenth birthday.

Rhubarb Tart
Time, to bake three quarters of an hour to one hour. Cut the large stalks from the leaves, strip off the outside skin and cut the sticks into pieces half an inch long. Line a pie dish with paste rolled rather thicker than a crown piece, put in a layer of rhubarb, strew the sugar over it, then fill it up with the other pieces of stalks, cover with a rich puff-paste, cut a slit in the center, trim off the edge with a knife and bake in a quick oven. Glaze the top or strew sugar over it.

On the 5th day pour the liquid into a clean cask, dissolve the isinglass in a little warm water, add this, the root ginger, and the orange and lemon rinds, cover the bUng hole tightly with a cloth.
