This vintage recipe was clipped from a newspaper and found in a large collection, it was originally published December, 1936 and reprinted a few years later (this clipping). I’ve typed it below along with a scanned copy.

We had a request the other day for lemon butter. We are repeating the one that was published several years ago.

Lemon Butter

Beat 6 eggs, 1-4 pound butter and 1 pound sugar the rind and juice of 3 lemons (or 9 tablespoonfuls vinegar). Mix together and set in a pan of hot water to cook. This is good for tarts or for bread.
