The Ultimate List of Juneteenth Recipes
Happy Juneteenth! Juneteenth celebration is in full effect! And it’s all about celebrating the emancipation of all slaves held in Union-controlled states.
President Lincoln signed the famous Emancipation Proclamation of January 1, 1863. However, African-American slaves in Texas didn’t hear the good news until June 19, 1865, nearly two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued. And so we celebrate!
We celebrate how we always celebrate by sending up a prayer for our ancestors! We celebrate with traditional African-influenced dancing!
And of course, we celebrate by eating lots of delicious food and drink. So many of our favorite soul food recipes are a part of a proper Juneteenth celebration, too!
Like black-eye peas, red velvet cake, strawberry soda, hibiscus punch, sweet, juicy watermelon, yams, collard greens, and okra, but it doesn’t stop there because our African descendants have deep roots in nearly every quarter of America.
You will see this diversity reflected in the foods we prepare for this yearly summertime celebration.
So, let’s collectively pour a libation for those who came before us and come together to celebrate the heartfelt occasion and join us as we kick off a very HAPPY JUNETEENTH!
We’re getting ready to celebrate Juneteenth, and no self-respecting Juneteenth party can go down without a traditional strawberry soda drink made with homemade strawberry syrup.
This weekend, we’ll be hosting our annual Juneteenth celebration, and we’re so excited to spend time with our family + friends surrounded by delicious food!
