Warp-Speed Pumpkin Butter

Sun, 09 Feb 2003 20:08:20 -0500

Warp-Speed because you make it in the microwave - no all-day cooking for this spicy-sweet spread! My kids like to put it on their toast, and pretend they're having pumpkin pie for breakfast! It does taste like pumpkin pie filling, and makes a wonderful hostess gift. Make sure your recipient puts this right into the refrigerator! NOTE: Don't try to "home can" this. It's hard to get the dense-textured pumpkin hot enough in the center to assure it has processed properly, and from what I've seen, the USDA recommends against it. Just make a small batch up when you want to give someone a treat! Microwave times are approximate, as ovens vary. -- posted by ThatBobbieGirl

Italian oven-dried tomatoes in Olive Oil

Fri, 01 Aug 2003 20:05:07 -0400

These wonderful tomatoes can be put on toasted bread with cheese to make bruschetta or you can add them to pasta dishes. They also make yummy garnishes and are good in salads. Don't throw the olive oil away when the tomatoes are gone! It will be infused with tomato flavor and is great to use in salad dressings or on pasta. The tomatoes will keep up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator. -- posted by Hey Jude

Apple-Apricot Chutney

Thu, 30 Oct 2003 20:01:25 -0500

I am on a fresh ginger kick, plus it's the time of year (it's autumn as I write this) to use those fresh apples! I really appreciate that this recipe makes such a small amount that you can keep it in the fridge, without the bother of processing it. Makes a great hostess gift, too. -- posted by Lennie

A yummy no sugar added toast topper. The only sugar in this is the natural sugar from the berries. This is NOT something that keeps on the shelf for a year like other jams, this will keep 2 weeks in the fridge, or 3 months in the freezer. From the folks at Equal -- posted by CookbookCarrie

Mon, 27 Jun 2005 16:51:56 -0400

Apricot Almond Cinnamon Jam

Mon, 01 Aug 2005 15:59:46 -0400

I just made this up. I wanted something different than the usual apricot jam so I added some almond extract and cinnamon. When you open the jar you can smell the almond but it isn't overpowering. They both are mostly a background taste. It is a softer jam but not syrupy. Great on bread with peanut butter. UPDATE: It did jell up after about a month. -- posted by tasb

Raspberry Chipotle Freezer Jam - No Cook

Fri, 25 Aug 2006 21:39:10 -0400

Saw this on line and had to add to my want to make list of recipes sounds yummy. How simple can it get to turn the freshness of berries into delicious jam for your family. Just imagine it glazed on pork or chicken, as a spread over cream cheese...... For a stronger smokey flavor and added heat, use additional chipotle peppers until your desired flavor is achieved.

Frozen Bell Peppers (For Recipes)

Sun, 08 Oct 2006 19:17:02 -0400

I use a lot of bell peppers when I cook, and I like to use all different colors, but those yellow and orange babies get mighty pricey where I live, so when they go on sale I buy up a few of every color and they're right at my fingertips whenever I need them! (These are for use in cooking, not for fresh eating). -- posted by Chef PotPie

Easy Crock Pot Apple Butter

Wed, 06 Dec 2006 14:58:20 -0500

This is the first recipe I ever used to can apple butter. Recipe starts out with applesauce, great for any time of year. It was my first time canning and it turned out great! This would make great Christmas gifts. I gave a lot of mine away earlier this year and everybody loved it. Their only complaint: put it into bigger jars! This recipe make a dark, spicy, and sweet apple butter. Makes a great sandwich with PB. Note: 3 quarts is equal to 12 cups or 96 ounces applesauce. -- posted by Watkinslady30

Fresh Fig and Ginger Chutney from the Auberge

Mon, 13 Jul 2009 17:06:24 -0400

When my two fig trees are in season, I struggle to cope with the amount of fruit they produce..........a rather nice problem I have to admit! We eat figs fresh with nearly every meal; I make jams, conserves and also bottle the fruit in liquor. However, this is one of my favourite ways of using some of my fresh figs, and this chutney is just amazing when served with the cheese board or with cold meats and charcuterie. Ginger has a natural affinity with fresh figs and gives this chutney an extra layer of flavour. This chutney does not keep as long as some other fruit chutneys, but that never seems to be a problem, as we eat most of it quite quickly and I always have numerous requests from family and friends for a pot or two when I make it! This intense chutney really captures the fruits rich sweetness perfectly and is capable of turning a simple toasted sandwich into something rather special.......it's great with all types of cheese. -- posted by French Tart

Cantaloupe Relish

Mon, 31 Aug 2009 02:42:08 -0400

Putting by summer's sun-ripened fruits for special eating during the winter appeals to many these days. The more unusual combinations are fun to do. If you don't wish to process in BWB, freeze. From an old newspaper clipping. -- posted by Molly53
