These recipes came FROM our ancestors. Most everything I cook was passed on to me from my grandmother and my grandmother's grandmother, etc.....all from Bertie Co. Can anyone tell me how to make fruit dumplings....blackberry, cherry, etc. where the fruit is stewed on top of the stove and the dumplings dropped on top of the fruit? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Faye Wallace" <wallacefs@yahoo.com> To: <ncbertie@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, August 15, 2009 7:22 AM Subject: Re: [NCBERTIE] Recipe Food is part of your southern history.

Where did Southern Fried Chicken come from? Food and the way it is cooked is as much a part of our history as our ancestors, homes, area history. Try some of the receipes, u may like them. faye --- On Fri, 8/14/09, K. Smith <kscontrol@windstream.net> wrote: From: K.

Ingredients - One large can of crushed tomatoes (1 lb.,12 oz. size), 1/2 to 1 cup of crushed saltine crackers (my mother often used crumbled up cold biscuits), salt and pepper, 1/4 to 1/2 cup of sugar (my dad always added more when he ate it), and a dash of cinnamon. Heat the pan on top of the stove with a little bacon grease or olive oil in the bottom of the pan, but don't let it get too hot. Add the tomatoes. Salt and pepper to taste.

I have been in Wisconsin for 53 years, but I love seeing the Southern Receipes.? Keep them coming.? It certainly beats Wisconsin heritage cooking which is sour kraut, and cabbage, and boiled dinner made with beef tongue and whatever else is put there.? I have never eaten tomato pudding, but I am going to get my Washington State wife to make it.? Sounds different but good. \John B -----Original Message----- From: Beth Wienberry Dix <bethdix@comcast.net> To: ncbertie@rootsweb.com Sent: Sat, Aug 15, 2009 10:58 am Subject: Re: [NCBERTIE] Recipe These recipes came FROM our ancestors.
