Thank you for the recipe, Petrowizard. Now, pray tell me, who is this fine woman? I love to know the source and history of recipes. Kathy in Sequim, Washington

Thanks for sharing! I am going to try it too! Does it have a certain amount of shelf time?

Thanks again!

Mrs. Lilly Weinrich was the pastor's wife at Zion Lutheran church in Bensenville, Illinois for many years. My mother got the recipe from her daughter sometime in the early '60s.

I don't know about shelf time, but as with any canned item, although it should be stable for over a year, you really don't want to can more than you might use in a year because then the fresh produce is in, and if you like it, you'll want to make more.

Thank you, Petro. I think it's wonderful that Miz Lilly's recipe is still following her around after all these years. I'll add these notes to the recipe I've printed. It always means more to me to know the history of things. I'll be trying to make this soon -- we think Sloppy Joes are a great "fast food." Kathy
