Wealth is not his that has it, bnt his that enjoys it
Ask the Old Farmer: Many years
ago my father would refer to a
milk dnnk he remembered when
he was small This was called
"bonny clabber" and was great
when served cold Can you tell
me about this and is it available
today under some other name 7
DR, Hartford, Conn
Bonny Clabber is simply milk that has soured until the solids separate
from the water The drink was made by beating- up this mixture with
sugar and sometimes a dash of nutmeg We don't think it was ever made
to sell, but folks made it at home
Home Hints Make cider hard by placing outdoors in cold weather until it
freezes
