Share the Family Recipes!

Several years ago, I started a cookbook project, with the intent to compile recipes from each of Dell and Pearl's children and their families. Several recipes were collected and I began researching the options for having them published . . . and it was more time-consuming and expensive than I anticipated . . . then all the recipes got stuck in a drawer and thought about less and less.

Until now. Who needs another book on a shelf? We're going online! I am still adding all the recipes I was sent years ago, but it's a start. (Notice the recipes submitted from kids who are now teens?) And I'd love to continue adding! So if you have a recipe to add to our family cookbook, please send it to me in an email and I will get it right up! Feel free to add any anecdotes attached to the dish too. Photos would be great as well!

Subscribe over there on the right and any new recipes and updates will be sent directly to you.

Happy eating!

Peggy's Sweet Pickles

Peggy Hannig Robison


Wash and put into large pan about 30 small pickling cucumbers. Cover with boiling water, and let stand over night, drain. Do this 4 times, morning and night. Cut into thick slices, cover with cold water and add 1 T. alum, let stand another day.

Make syrup:
1 quart white vinegar
1 T. cloves
8 cups sugar
2 sticks cinnamon
1 T. salt
Green food coloring

Combine and let come to boil and pour over cucumbers. Let stand 24 hours. Do this 3 more times. Last time pour into bottles while hot and seal.

These are crisp sweet pickles! Takes a lot of time, but they're delicious!
