As part of an ongoing series, we are publishing one recipe every week from Pontiac County Recipes, a small book that is home to a collection of kitchen secrets from across the region, published by Pontiac Printshop in 1968.
Our recent rediscovery of this book has inspired us to recirculate its recipes, by way of this newspaper, through the communities from which they first came to us.
As the holiday season is now behind us, many of us are packing up our Christmas decorations and stowing them in a box, where they will remain until next year. If the holiday season had you wound as tightly as the skin on the Little Drummer Boy’s drum, or your head is still pounding after one too many strained conversations with those opinionated relatives of yours, here are some hot beverages that are sure to cure what ails you. Well, maybe; we haven’t tried them. But it’s certainly worth a shot!
If you recognize a recipe from either your grandparents’ kitchen, or from your own, please write to us. We would love to hear about how these recipes have lived on.
