spruce n Spruce bread was made the same way as the Hop bread only preparing the Spruce was a little different than preparing the hops. Small spruce branches [were] put in the old iron pot and let it steep for about three to four hours. It was put in a large jar with three potatoes cut in small pieces. The potatoes made it work fast. After this was done the jar was put away in a warm place for about three days until it worked. It was then readv for the flour. .Today people do the same to make spruce beer .
