Jennings County's Own........

Cookbook

The Jennings County Cookbook Project......

In 1986, a group of women from "Good Neighbors" compiled a county cookbook from 'OUR' best cooks.
When the books were completed, they were presented as a greeting to newcomers to our county.
County and private sales of the cookbook financed the project.
The group disbanded a few years ago.....copies of the cookbook are unavailable.

Among these cooks were school teachers, students, nurses, housewives, librarians, ministers, historians, genealogists, a baker, and even a clown.

The page binders were requested from and submitted by County Artist.....for which I am proud to be among them.

Hot Beverage Recipies

CranberryTea

1 qt. cranberry juice.....18 whole cloves

3 qts. water.........1 cup pineapple juice

2 cups sugar.........1 cup orange juice

1/2 cup 'Red Hots'.........1/2 cup lemon juice

Heat Cranberry juice, water, sugar,'Red Hots' and cloves to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until the candy has dissolved. Add pineapple, orange, and lemon juices. Stir well.

Helpful hint....to keep the tea warm, the lowest setting of a crockpot will work great!
