INTRODUCTION
WHY OUR GRANNIES’ RECIPES?
I like food and I love baking. I also love books. So, as a publisher, one of the most exciting things for me to work on is a cookbook. When it was decided that Mercier would publish a book of traditional Irish recipes collected from around the country, the recipes that our grandmothers, mothers, fathers, and grandfathers cooked for us when we were young (or even when we were older and just home for some spoiling), I wanted in.
We thought about how we could compile the list of those favorites, whether they were for pies, casseroles, stews, breads, soups, roasts, custards, scones, cakes, biscuits, ice cream, or any other dishes. We realized that we would use the Internet. Thus was born OurGranniesRecipes.com
The site helps us gather together the recipes that have been favorites of Irish families for generations. In creating this book, we have used recipes submitted to the site by ordinary people, chefs, aunts, uncles, grandchildren, and even a few grannies.
For me, that favorite recipe is for the Apple Tart made for me by my father’s mother, Agnes Purcell, née Hourigan (and, after Agnes sadly passed away, her sister, my great-aunt Eileen Hourigan, made it for me, too). You’ll find that recipe in here along with eighty or so other recipes, sweet and savory.
I really hope that the book delights you as it has me and provides a source of culinary inspiration for generations to come.

MISCELLANY
INVALID’S BREAD PUDDING
INGREDIENTS
1 tablespoon breadcrumbs
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon butter
1 teaspoon sugar
1 egg
METHOD
Boil the milk and butter together.
Pour over the breadcrumbs.
Add the sugar.
Beat the egg, add a few teaspoons of the hot milk, and stir together, then slowly add back to the other ingredients.
Bake in a small greased pie tin for 30 minutes at medium heat.
JAM SAUCE
INGREDIENTS
2 tablespoons raspberry jam
11/2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/2 pint water
METHOD
Boil all ingredients together well for 10 minutes.
Strain and serve ’round puddings.
APPLE SAUCE
INGREDIENTS
3 pounds apples, cored and peeled
1/2 pound sugar
1 ounce gelatin
Juice and peel of 1 lemon
METHOD
Stew the apples with the lemon for 1/2 hour.
Pass them through a sieve, then add the gelatin and sugar.
Pour into a bowl and allow to cool.
OLD-FASHIONED ORANGE MARMALADE
INGREDIENTS
6 Seville oranges
1 lemon
Sugar (see recipe)
METHOD
Wash the fruit well in cold water.
Dry fruits carefully, then slice very thinly and mash them into a pulp, removing the seeds.
Place the seeds in a cup of water.
Weigh the fruit and place it in a bowl of water, allowing 3 pints of water for each pound of fruit pulp.
Allow both the pulp/water and seeds/water to stand for 24 hours.
The following day, remove the steeped oranges from the water and place in a pressure cooker. Strain the water from the pips and add to the oranges. Boil the mix until the fruit is so tender it can be easily pierced.
Take a fresh measure and add 1 pound of sugar for every pint of pulp you have. Return to the pressuring pan and boil until the mix jellies easily when cooled on a cold plate.
For a less sweet preserve, use less sugar.
Pour into jars and cover.
