- Making Gynger Brede
At the annual Washington Birthday Celebration at the Johnson Ferry House located in Washington Crossing Park, New Jersey, the large hearth that was the center of 18th century life was lifeless. Just recently, fires have been banned until chimney work is completed. In an attempt to bring a little glow and life to the kitchen, I used a reproduction brazier as a heat source to prepare an early gingerbread receipt. Braziers provide a way for sites that have insurmountable problems with using a hearth to offer actual cooking programs and demonstrations but use of a hearth is always the best.
Anyone who is interested in advocating for the quick repair of the chimneys at both the Johnson Ferry House and Nelson House (also located at the park), please write to:

My next Hearth Cooking Class is March 17th, 2012. Celebrate St Patrick’s Day at a hearth!
