My brother and sister-in-law made a huge batch of pasta sauce using my Grandma Findle's original recipe (they had to Google how much a 'bushel' of tomatoes was, as those were the precise measurements my grandmother wrote down!).  They brought an entire extra suitcase with them all the way from Denver to deliver the freshly canned sauce to all members of our family at Thanksgiving.  Unfortunately I couldn't bring mine back in my carry-on luggage, but I plan to indulge when I go back home to Pittsburgh for Christmas. 

Gotta love old school family recipes.  Do you have any that are passed down from generations?
