| Cooking a meal in an iron kettle (photo by David Black). Food processing usually includes (based on season) dyring squash rings, drying meat, maple sugar making, etc. With this, we always bring a mortar and pestle for grinding corn into meal. Many times, the public is welcomed to help. We also cook and prepare dishes such as hominy, hickory nut pudding, baked squash or squash pudding, and corn bread baked in corn husk. The public is welcomed to have a taste. |
