Book Review of Blue Ribbon Recipes: County Fair Winners

Blue Ribbon Recipes: County Fair Winners
reviewed on
Helpful Score: 2


A compilation of county fair winners in such categories as Pickles, Preserves, Meats, Breads, Cakes and more. If you were wishing you had Grandma's recipe for Watermelon Pickles, homemade catsup, or Green Tomato Mincemeat, this could be your book. Rhubarb Marmalade? Squash Preserves? It's here. Like donuts? Mrs. Elsie Martin of Linden, TN used mashed potatoes in her prize-winning recipe. Maybe you'd prefer the more traditional glazed donut from Mrs. Harold Tweedie of Walton, NY. The judges must have had a good time judging Merle McDaniels' Beef Pie, Carol Scheer's Chicken-Fried Liver and Peggy Barr's Lemon Beefies. And don't get me started on the DESSERTS! Proceed with caution and look through the Cakes section at your own risk. (Don't say I didn't warn you!)
