1/2 c. milk, scalded
1/2 c. sugar

1/2 c. shortening, softened

Pour water into a large mixing bowl; add yeast and stir until dissolved. Cool milk to lukewarm and add dry mixture. Add sugar, salt, eggs, shortening and lemon extract. Blend in flour and knead until dough is smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes; add raisins. Shape dough into a ball and place in an oiled bowl.

From the Inside Flap

A friend of mine was on her way to Alabama and they stopped at a country store. She saw a Gooseberry Patch book with my name in it. It was a thrill when she told me about it! I keep all of my Gooseberry Patch books in a basket on top of my hutch, and proudly tell my kids, "Mom was published!"  One of my favorite things about the books is seeing recipes from all over the country, and how they're different than recipes I might already have.

I love all of the Gooseberry Patch cookbooks, and I have all of them. What Gooseberry Patch does speaks to me...how many businesses have that small-town feel? How many businesses say, "We'd love to hear from you," and really mean it, and even write back?That's what makes Gooseberry Patch special for me.

I received Holidays at Home as an early Christmas present from two dear friends.  The illustrations are wonderful, the recipes yummy and all the ideas and Christmas memories warmed the heart.  What a joy to receive!

5.0 out of 5 stars More great things from Gooseberry Patch..., June 22, 2001

What a wonderful cookbook! My favorite thing about Gooseberry Patch Cookbooks is their ability to pick so many great recipes and put them all into one book. And this is no exception. With lots of great home-style recipes like Stromboli, Homestyle Swiss Steak, Caramel Rolls, and some flavorful yet not-so-home-style recipes like Key-Lime Grilled Chicken(yum!) This book is an all-around winner!

I received this cookbook as a gift from my mother almost 10 years ago. It was my very first Gooseberry Patch cookbook. I absolutely love it! The way it is written and illustrated makes me feel like I'm using recipes that have been shared by old friends. And the recipes are delicious. Many of the recipes have become family favorites over the years, like Sweet & Sour Pork, Lasagna Rolls, Coffee Bars, Lemon Bread, Little Angel Biscuits, Red Pepper Soup and the Jalapeño Wraps, just to name a few.
