Each third Friday throughout the season, join Joseph Greeley, docent at the Jonathan Fisher House and historical cooking enthusiast, for an outdoor cooking demonstration of a historical recipe and technique.

On Friday, September 15, Joe will be cooking up Apple Fritters based on an 18th century recipe. Stop by to see the process of interpreting the recipe and cooking with period techniques, and enjoy samples when the fritters are complete!

We know that Fisher had a large apple orchard, and this recipe is included in Hannah Glasse’s 1788 cookbook, The Art of Cookery Made Plain and Easy, a popular household text that Dolly Fisher likely would have used when feeding her large household.

The free cooking demo will begin at 1:00 PM and visitors are encouraged to watch and ask questions during the process. Tours of the interior of the Fisher House are available from 1:00-4:00 PM, with a $10 suggested donation. Visitors are also welcome to self-tour the grounds and tool exhibit in the Slaven Barn on the property.
