Grandma Boruff's
Gingerbread
from Jane
Recipes are very important to me and when my
mother died she had boxes and boxes of pamphlets and clippings. This is a
recipe for gingerbread that she gave me and it's been handed down through three
generations. Grandma Boruff gave the recipe to her daughter-in-law, my Aunt
Beth, who gave it to my mother and the old copy I have is in my aunt's
handwriting. I've made other gingerbread recipes but still like this one best.
