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

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

This week we’re sharing recipes that offer readers alternatives to the usual fates of two August harvest staples — corn and tomatoes.

As always, 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.
