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 it is now officially December, we will begin sharing the many holiday baking recipes published in this collection. And to start us off, a local take on a controversial classic: Grandmother’s fruit cake.
And keep your toothbrush on hand because the sweets? They are-a-coming. Follow us here for everything you’ll need to fill your cookie tins this year.
As always, 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.
