There was a call for the recipes that I mentioned yesterday. Here they are!

Mom’s Cranberry Tea

1 pound fresh cranberries

3 quarts of water

1-2 cinnamon sticks

Boil for ten minutes, then drain through cheesecloth (I line a colander with it.) then add:

2 cups white sugar

1/3 cup lemon juice

2/3 cup orange juice

Mix and serve hot.

 

Grandpa’s Spiced Pecans

1 egg white

1 tablespoon of water

1/2 cup white sugar

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 pound pecan halves

Combine sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a small bowl and set aside.

In large mixing bowl, lightly beat egg white with tablespoon of water. Add pecans, stir until coated. Sprinkle sugar mixture over pecans and mix well. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 300 degrees F for 20 minutes, stirring after 10 minutes. Remove nuts while warm to cool on wax paper.
