Pontiac County Recipes makes a comeback — Apple butter

Pontiac County Recipes makes a comeback — Apple butter

Looking for something more to do with the apples that are by now maybe rotting at the base of your tree? Look no further. Try the the “Thick, smooth and spicy apple butter” recipe from Pontiac County Recipes. 

 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 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.
