4th of July Crackers

My Great Aunt Nita's Dilly Crackers are a legend
and a must have for 

the 4th of July!

It's a traditional snack that no one can resist 

and you can not get more all American than a recipe from a special relative in her 90s...

(My Great Aunt Nita with her siblings and parents, 

my grandmother Georgia is on the right of the Uncle Sam Hat)

I've freshened up her original recipe slightly for the summer, by adding fresh dill,

but the rest is right off of her hand written recipe card...

The only thing better than having her crackers for the 4th,

 is having them while lounging in the pool!
