Tonight on WIOX, Catskills Food Ways

For Catskills Folk's  third weekly show in a row, tonight August 23 at 7 pm, Ginny Scheer will present a program about traditional foods in the Catskills on WIOX 91.3 FM and wioxradio.org.  The focus this time will be on a series of recipes Ginny collected in the 1970s when she first moved to the Catskills, including pickles fermented in a crock and meat brined in a crock before smoking.  There will also be family and community recipes for more pickles, plum ketchup, suet pudding, and chokecherry jelly.   Future Catskills Folk programs on the food ways theme will include woodland plants used for food, traditional dishes derived from dairying and recipes centered on the production of cole crops, especially cauliflower. Please join Ginny for these radio programs and call or write with traitional family recipes you would like to share: vscheer@juno.com or 607-746-3521.
