Looking Back at our Heritage

I was on http://www.lds.org/ and came across this article of our ancestor, Warren S. Snow and included it on our family reunion blog for all to read and remember.

The Manti Temple,

Ensign, Mar 1978, 80

"Brigham Young announced the [Manti] temple site 25 June 1875 and dedicated the site on 25 April 1877. Earlier that same morning, he had taken Warren S. Snow with him to the southeast corner of the temple site and told him, “Here is the spot where the Prophet Moroni stood and dedicated this piece of land for a Temple site, and that is the reason why the location is made here, and we can’t move it from this spot.”

Pickled Beans

It wouldn't be a Tew Family Reunion without the hopeful mention of Grandma's Pickled Beans turning up somewhere on the table (SOOO GOOD)! Because she loves us so much she is sharing her secret recipe with us...okay, so it's not really a secret recipe but she still loves us and is sharing! Thank You Grandma! And it's probably safe to confess now to eating your jar of pickled beans with Grandpa at the Christensen Family Reunion before it was time to eat...;-) They were delicious!

A jar of Grandma's Pickled Beans along with her recipe proudly displayed in our kitchen.

Dill Beans

2 C vinegar

4 C water

3/4 C salt

2 heads dill to each quart

1/2 jalapeno pepper (cut lengthwise)

1 clove garlic (little button)

Blanch beans 7 min. Pack in jars - add dill, garlic & pepper. Cover with boiling vinegar solution & seal in sterilized jars. Very good!
