THREE-GRAIN BREAD
This is my version of the rye and Indian meal bread that was a favorite in the first thir-
teen colonies, often paired fresh with rose geranium—apple jelly, or served day-old in
slices floating in a thick soup. Every cookbook of the era has a recipe for this bread,
and it is still as good today. I have substituted oil for the bacon fat.
