We’ve heard for years how much you like the recipes featured in JEMCO News. It’s one of the most popular items in this monthly publication to our members. We take recipes submitted by Jackson EMC members and try them ourselves. Each month, the selected winner receives a chef-worthy prize package.

This year, the prize package includes an air fryer – a healthier option to traditional frying that uses little or no oil. Air fryers have become a healthier and more convenient alternative for cooking favorite foods.

Jackson EMC has a rich history of sharing cooking ideas. When we began serving electricity in this area in 1938, members didn’t know how to prepare food with electricity. So, employees of the cooperative taught members how to use this resource in their kitchens.

You can be a part of this local tradition by submitting your favorite recipes to share with members in JEMCO News. Archived recipes are available at news.jacksonemc.com.

Send your recipes, with your name, address, daytime phone number to: Cooperative Cooking, Jackson EMC, P.O. Box 38, Jefferson, GA 30549, or send an email to JEMCO News editor Kerri Testement at [email protected].
