Home Cooking

I grew up surrounded by two sets of grandparents and two great-grandmothers and assorted great uncles and aunts. They taught me how to cook, preserve, sew, forage, garden and keep our family memories alive. Two of my favorites are making jellies and baking. Every year from Spring through Autumn I am making jams, jellies and butters to put away for the winter months to give to family and I am baking pies and bread to freeze for the colder months. When I am following their recipes I am flooded with good memories.
