Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Anna Serfass was Pennsylvania Dutch and could cook as well as she could shoot! She grew up in northern New Hampshire. Her father was a trapper and guide. Her mother was very independent!

For the authentic flavor use lard instead of oil. Keep it fresh by frying apple peelings in the fat.
