GROUT
This recipe comes from Pawleys Island in the Lowcountry of South Carolina. It could have come from the pages of a Dickens tale, and it's called grout. It is a mold made from lemon skins, port or sherry and almonds and raisins. As could be expected from the island's leading family, Isabelle and Alberta Lachicotte provided the recipe for "Recipes From Pawleys Island,'' put out by All Saints Waccamaw Episcopal Church, one of the oldest parishes there. It has been served by Lachicottes on festive occasions for years.
