As part of an ongoing series, we are publishing one recipe every week from Pontiac County Recipes, a small book that is home to a collection of kitchen secrets from across the region, published by Pontiac Printshop in 1968.

Our recent rediscovery of this book has inspired us to recirculate its recipes, by way of this newspaper, through the communities from which they first came to us.

As the temperatures approach the twenties, it is time to fire up the grill for the season. What better way to use those beautiful brats than to braise them in this sweet and sour dish that uses simple, inexpensive household staples? This is sure to become a family favourite in no time at all!

If you recognize a recipe from either your grandparents’ kitchen, or from your own, please write to us. We would love to hear about how these recipes have lived on.
