Grandma on the Farm
Grandma on the Farm
Recipes from the kitchen of Grandma Harris
Every card, note and clipping from her recipe box —
transcribed as she wrote them, with the originals alongside
A family cookbook · 2026

Assembled in 2026 from the 606 photographed cards, slips, and clippings in Grandma Harris’s green recipe box. Everything here is set down the way she wrote it — her abbreviations, her asides, her “V.G.” — and each recipe is followed by a photograph of the original card, so the shorthand can always be checked against her hand.

Where a card was worn or a word was hard to read, the doubtful reading is marked [like this?]. Recipes credited to friends and family are credited as she credited them. Recipes on printed clippings are reproduced for the family only.

Set in Baskerville, with Snell Roundhand for the title. The line drawings are pen-and-ink in the spirit of a doodle in the margin of a card.

For Grandma on the Farm,
and for everyone who ever pulled a chair up to her table.

About this book

The green metal box sat in the kitchen for decades and slowly filled up: index cards in blue ballpoint, recipes copied out of the Mennonite cookbook and the Best of Bridge, clippings from the Herald and the Co-op paper, a slip from a lady in the hospital, a punch from the gas company, and a stack of children’s crafts and household hints tucked in the front. Behind the yellow tab dividers — Breads, Pies & Pastries, Casseroles, Fish & Seafoods, Preserves & Jellies and the rest — is the record of a lifetime of feeding people.

This book keeps her order. The chapters follow her own tabs, and inside each chapter the cards run in the order she kept them, so recipes that lived side by side in the box still do. Loose cards from the front of the box and the Miscellaneous tab have been slipped into the chapter where they belong. Nothing has been “improved,” corrected, or modernized: if she wrote oleo, it says oleo; if she wrote bake till done, that is the instruction, and you will have to know your oven the way she knew hers.

Below every recipe is a photograph of the original card — front and back when she ran onto the back — so the book is also a facsimile of the box. Her handwriting is part of the recipe.

Reading her cards

A short key to the shorthand she used, some of it borrowed from a nurse’s charting hand:

Unleavened bread

Fr. Dominic Garramone OSB, Catholic Digest Feb. 02, pg. 71
  • 4 c whole wheat flour
  • 1 ½ tsp salt
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 c warm water

Preheat oven – 350°.

Sift flour & salt into a med. size bowl. Stir thoroughly. Add oil & water & stir with a heavy wooden spoon – until a dough ball that comes away from the side of the bowl forms.

Turn dough onto lightly floured board & knead lightly for a min or two, until smooth. Divide into 4 parts. Flatten each piece with the heel of hand, then roll as thin as possible (less than ¼" thick).

Place the rolled dough on an ungreased baking sheet

- you’ll need 2 for the whole batch.

Bake 8-10 min. until breads are puffy & slightly browned.

Put cut green peppers in casserole about 5-10 min. before you want to eat.

Icing takes a little patience: Bakery Shop Icing

  • Bakery Shop Icing
  • ½ cup butter
  • 6 tablespoons shortening
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • ½ cup warm milk

— Bakery Shop Icing —

Cream butter, shortening, sugar and vanilla together in a large bowl. Stir cornstarch into milk and add to sugar mixture. Beat everything at low speed until all ingredients are blended. Beat at medium speed for 5 to 7 minutes until the icing is creamy smooth and of desired consistency.

Note: This icing will appear curdled at first but don’t give up. As you continue to beat it, it becomes smooth.

Decorator’s Icing

  • ¾ cup of shortening
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 egg whites
  • ½ teaspoon flavoring

Beat egg whites until stiff, set aside. Cream shortening, add ½ cup powdered sugar; cream 2 minutes. Add beaten egg whites, flavoring and remaining sugar. Cream again.

Strawberries à la Creme

  • 8 cups strawberries, hulled, washed and thoroughly dried
  • 1 ¼ cups confectioner’s sugar
  • 1 pint heavy cream
  • ½ cup Kirsch or Brandy

Cut strawberries in half and sprinkle with the confectioners sugar, toss and chill for about 15 minutes. Using an electric mixer, whip the cream till stiff peaks hold their shape. Toss the Kirsch/brandy into the berries and gently fold in the whipped cream. To add the final touches, refrigerate 8 serving glasses and then dip the rims into sugar, place mixture into glasses and refrigerate at least one hour. Place a whole strawberry on the top and serve.

Thanks to Betty Gladu for sending this recipe as requested by Laura MacIntosh

Linda Homenick has had this recipe for over 35 years and still uses it faithfully. This icing gives good detail. It gets crispy on the outside and stays soft inside.

Bacon – Home cured – brine

from book: The Easy Art of Smoking Food, 1977, by Chris Dubbs & Dave Heberle, Winchester Press
  • Basic Brine
  • 3 lbs of salt
  • 1 lb (2 cups) sugar (brown)
  • 1 tbsp saltpeter

This amount sufficient for 2 gallons of water. — 80% brine —

To test for right amount of salt solution — Put a fairly new (not peeled) potato in the water —

gradually add the brine mixture — the potato will float when the brine solution is about 80% — which is needed in curing.

Leave bacon in crock for 15-20 days — every few days take out the meat — stir the brine — put the meat back in — submerge the meat by weighting down with a jar of water.

After curing — each piece of meat should be rinsed briefly in fresh water to remove salt, then set aside to dry. — Pat meat with paper towel, lay on wire racks (not touching) — when dry a thin clear glossy coating of dissolved protein & nutrients will cover the surface — ready to smoke.
