FA Sharon Hawke By CHARLOT M. DENMON Staff Correspondent Sharon Hawke of Vernon enjoys cooking but her favorite is baking cakes, pies or other desserts. Recently, she mastered the art of making doughnuts and surprised her husband, Timothy, and two chil- dren, Carson and Laurie with sev- eral dozen delicious doughnuts. A native of Clarks Summit, Sharon became familiar with the Back Mountain area because her grandmother lived in Meshoppen and, during her last two years in high school, she attended Dallas High School from where she gradu- ated. Her husband is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Clifford Hawke of Trucks- ville. The Hawkes have a large garden where they raise most of the vegeta- bles they need and Sharon does a lot of canning. They also have a large apple orchard, raspberry and blue- berry bushes which provides the family with plenty of fruit and Sharon makes a lot of jelly. Recently, Sharon purchased a dehydrator and dehydrates many of the vegetables since they take up less space and are also ideal for using in soups or sauces. She usually has so many zucchini from the garden that she has learned to use them in a variety of ways such as making mock apple pie, mixing with pineapple or strawberries to make desserts or as relishes. Sharon crochets and is presently making an afghan for her sister. She likes to dabble in all kinds of crafts and has been trying ceram- ics. The Hawkes who recently moved into their new home, designed and Snack time built it themselves. The only help they had was with the foundation and the tile. Since Timothy is employed by a landscaping com- pany, he did the landscaping around their new home. It took the Hawkes five years to complete their home, but Sharon said it was worth it. The recipes she shares with Post readers this week are favorites of her husband and children, particu- larly the zucchini bread and the Shepherd’s Pie. Timothy also likes the Fresh Apple Squares and the entire family agrees that the Zuc- chini Soup hits the spot on a cold, winter day.
