"I recently came across some old hand written family recipes. Due to a notation on one of the papers referring to “Cook at Camp meeting” I believe these recipes belonged to my great grandmother, Lizzie Fink Hostetter, the wife of Harvey Hostetter of Annville PA. This recipe had a notation, 'Cousin John Fink' written in the title. It was written using the original wording and spelling."
Lizzie was born Lizzie Fink Long, February 27, 1881 in North Cornwall Township, Lebanon County, PA. Her parents were David S. Long and Mary Fink

"Lizzie was a member of the United Christian Church and she worked as a cook for their Camp Grounds in excess of 40 years. Some of these recipes have names of other people on them. I am not sure if the other people were relatives, friends or other cooks at the camp meetings. The original spelling and words have been kept intact."

Making Clabber, Cottage Cheese and Whey
by Mary May Lewis nee Smith
After separating the milk, my mother, Maggie May Smith nee Patten, saved the cream for butter and buttermilk. The sweet milk we would drink and the milk that was going sour we made into a product called clabber that was used in the turkey feed.
Sometimes she would take the clabber and put it on the stove to warm. When the cottage cheese would rise to the top, she screened it with a flour sack
The part that was left after removing the cheese was called whey and that could also be used in the feed mixture for the turkeys.
Mother knew so very much about natural foods. She always had a garden, a flock of chickens and milk cows. We were a healthy family. We always had good food to eat, even during the depression, which helped us grow up strong and healthy.
She made wild plum and grape jam & jelly. We had tender greens such as Curly Dock, Lambs Quarter and many other plants that were healthy for us. She also baked pound cake, bread, bread puddin, and all the other foods that children love.

OUR FOOD
by Marilyn Wells
Grandma Jackson was continually preparing food for storage, canning and meals.
In the summer, we always had lots of fresh vegetables and fruits. Also, every evening Grandma would be shelling cowpeas, or English peas for the next day's meal or preparing green beans and new potatoes.
We raised our own chickens and pork. I learned how to clean a chicken and to cut it up when I was pretty young.
We always had plenty of canned foods in the cellar, including fruits vegetables, pickles, preserves and dried foods.
In the winter we had a lot of boiled foods. Beans and cornbread were our favorites. Grandma made lots of biscuits, cornbread and homemade breads in the wintertime. She baked in a wood cook stove.
In the summer we had pancakes alot, since you could cook those on a kerosene stove without heating up the house.
During harvest, Grandma would cook everything she could think of; pigs-in-blankets, vegetables, potatoes and gravy, and usually made a cobbler for dessert.
Listed on the old recipe page, are several of Grandma Jackson's recipes.

Many Years ago- in my Grandmother's House
was a Kitchen Table.
It was not fancy or expensive. But it was full of love. For at this Kitchen Table- the whole family would sit down to eat together and talk.
There were no TV's blaring away or people
eating on the run. We said Grace, ate and
shared conversation as a family.
During the hours between meals, Grandma would
sometimes sit at the table and play games with us
Other times a friend or neighbor might stop by and sit
at the table while sipping a cup of coffee and sharing
some friendly conversation.
That Kitchen Table was the center piece for
a whole lot of love and kindness.
I feel the world would be a better place
with a lot less problems,
if more people spent time eating,
talking, playing, loving, and praying
as a family at Grandma's Kitchen Table.
