Hot Dog or Bratwurst Relish

Wed, 18 Jul 2007 00:14:35 -0400

Tangy-but-sweet! This is a GREAT way to use up the OVERSIZE cukes that get missed in the garden. Zucchinis also work well in place of the cukes! Quantities listed are approximate--you can fudge or substitute a bit and still have excellent results. NOTE: Quantities listed are for GROUND UP amounts... -- posted by Debber

Cranberry Sauce

Fri, 30 May 2008 19:13:09 -0400

About 5 years ago I wanted to make my own cranberry sauce. I read several different recipes and created this one that I could homecan. I canned my cranberry sauce in 1/2 pints and some pints for our use and gift giving. A great addition to ham or turkey. Servings and yield are definitely not correct. I had to put a number down though. Yield would definitely depend on the jar size you use. -- posted by Chef on the coast

Black Forest Preserves

Wed, 02 Jul 2008 03:17:56 -0400

From Ball Complete Book of Home Preserving, 2006 Edition. Cherries should be pitted, coarsely chopped, then packed to measure 3 cups. Recipe suggests serving with cheese, tucked into ice cream balls to make tartufo, or spread between cake layers or cookie sandwiches. Directions assume knowledge of hot water bath canning procedures. If you are new to canning, the cookbook mentioned above contains wonderfully detailed canning instructions. Another good resource is the Ball Blue Book. -- posted by LonghornMama

Sweet Cinnamon Applesauce

Mon, 14 Jul 2008 17:38:59 -0400

Two kinds of apples plus cinnamon and brown sugar make this applesauce unique. This recipe was modified from a basic one found in an old home canning cookbook. You can mash the apples up more or less during cooking, depending on what texture you prefer. Jars of this make a great gift, and it could double as a pre-made pie or pastry filling. It's quite labor-intensive, but the result is worth it! -- posted by Kim_150

Jujube Sweet Pickles - Texas Style

Tue, 20 Jan 2009 18:01:41 -0500

Also known as the Chinese date or red date, the jujube is a type of tree native to China. The fruit of the jujube tree is typically reddish in color, and oval or globe-shaped. The fruit reaches up to 2 inches in diameter, with smooth skin and a single stone. The fruit is often dried and used in herbal remedies. Research on the nutritional and culinary uses of jujube fruit, done in the Food Science section of Texas A&M's Horticultural Sciences Department in the 1940s by Dr. Homer Blackhurst, revealed a very high vitamin C content. The versatile jujube can often substitute for apples, pears, plums, or figs in recipes that call for them. From Texas Highways magazine. Try them chilled. Cooking time is sealing time. -- posted by Molly53

This is a really good jam to make when you can't buy berries in season. I came up with this recipe when somebody (DH) left the door ajar on our upright freezer and the 2 kg bag of berries thawed out.

Figs in Brandy

Mon, 06 Apr 2009 21:55:58 -0400

This recipe is from Saveur. Preserving figs in citric acid ( I used lemon juice) and brandy helps prevent the growth of microorganisms in the fruit and boiling the mixture in canning jars produces an airtight seal. If you have leftover fig syrup when you are finished canning, strain and refrigerate it to drizzle over ice cream or to stir into iced tea. This recipe using a boiling water bath for canning. There are many good instructional sites on Recipezaar if you are unfamiliar with this type of canning. -- posted by mary winecoff

I like this recipe because it can be canned or frozen and will last up to six months that way, or can be refrigerated and will last up to a month.

Blueberry Lavender Pie Filling for Canning

Mon, 31 Aug 2009 11:36:50 -0400

Enjoy a taste of summer in the middle of the winter with this easy canning recipe. The following is for one quart jar, which easily fills one pie. Multiply it to use as many berries as you can get your hands on. I also add fresh lavender flowers since I've got a great local lavender farm, but if you do, please be careful to use them sparingly as they can quickly overpower the berry taste. If you are unsure on how to use lavender, read up online first. *DO NOT SUBSTITUTE CLEAR JEL*! This is important. You probably won't find it at your local grocery store, but you can easily order it online. I found mine at a specialty candy and cake decorating store. -- posted by PDXChef

Confetti Ambrosia Jam

Tue, 22 Sep 2009 13:38:15 -0400

Was getting desperate to finish using up the lovely little green pears I was given & made several recipes from Zaar. I loved the color and flavor composition of Recipe#94467 but it is so sweet it made my teeth ache. After making Recipe#137323 I realized I could increase the lemon juice & use no-sugar pectin. Since Amy's recipe reminded me of ambrosia I decided to add the coconut shreds & am very pleased with the results - translucent shavings of pear & orange with bright pink flecks of cherry in a nicely set brilliant coral jam - and not too sweet. I used the slicing blade on my Cuisinart to cut the peeled pears & whole orange & scissor snipped the cherries. -- posted by Buster's friend

Now you though my Recipe #99942, Recipe #95424, Recipe #68981 was hot! You should try this if you dare! This is eye tearing mouth burning. I used 3 yes 3 ghost peppers and 5 habaneros. Ghost peppers are 100 times hotter then habaneros. I used red raspberries, red bells, and apple and pomegranate juice to bring more red to this so no need for food coloring. The naga jolokia (English: king cobra chile) also known as bhut jolokia, dorset naga, ghost chile, ghost pepper, or naga morich is a chili pepper. -- posted by ~Rita~

Spiced Pineapple Jam

Mon, 05 Oct 2009 17:26:49 -0400

Pineapple jam with spices added. I had allot of pineapple and needed to use it up, so I went looking for jam recipes. I could only find plain fruit jams, so I saw this recipe on the net for this Asian jam for jam tarts, but it took along time to cook. There was no name to the original recipe. So I took the spices, add more and then put it with the pectin pineapple jam I have made in the past. Hope you like it, it is good on toast, but allot of people have told me it is great on ice cream. I like it with ham. Time does not count 1 hour soak. Cooking time has canning time added to it. -- posted by Coppercloud

I blend fresh organic carrots, mango, onions, garlic, and a hint of lime juice with the Habanero. The result is a pepper sauce that harmonizes heat and flavor without the overpowering pungency found in traditional vinegar-based hot sauces. Creating a spicy but not overpowering sauce that allows you to spice your food without drowning out the original flavor. The capsaicin is not only hot on the tongue, it is brutal on the eyes or in cuts on your fingers. When preparing peppers you can wear rubber gloves to protect your hands and keep your hands clean. capsaicin has a way of staying on your hands even after washing. Safety glasses will help you avoid splashes or touching your eyes while cutting and cleaning peppers. The steam from boiling vinegar is very strong. Avoid breathing it. Cooking your hot sauce will help blend the flavors together, break down pieces of solid ingredients and pasteurize the sauce. It is an important step which should only be skipped if the sauce will be used up completely within 1 week. Bottles can be bought at http://www.leeners.com/index.html -- posted by ~Rita~

Pomegranate Mountain Dew Jelly

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 17:26:53 -0500

This is a fun jelly that combines the taste of pomegranate juice and mountain dew soda. This is a great tasting cocktail, but even more surprising and great tasting as a jelly. I created this recipe because I had just a bit of pomegranate juice left from my pomegranate jelly making, and mountain dew because I wanted to try the mountain dew recipe listed on the site. -- posted by Whitney Donohue

From Penn State, this pie filling is a favorite in our house. Prepping apple pie filling is messy and time consuming, so if I'm going to do it, I want to make a bunch! This recipe is a favorite in our house. I'm posting the ingredients per quart, to make it easy to scale up as needed. -- posted by dianegrapegrower

Spiced Cherry Jam

Wed, 02 Dec 2009 11:36:36 -0500

Inspired by an Alton brown recipe for blueberry jam, the spices in this jam elevate the flavor to new heights. A very mature taste, but kids like it too. I always make extra batches to use as presents and house gifts. -- posted by Booted Bear

Plum Raspberry Jam

So easy and so delicious! This jam is sweet with just a hint of tartness. For Christmas I gave out pint jars with home-made mini loaves of bread to my co-workers, after Christmas break they all said it was the best jam they had ever had, a few even asked if they could buy some from me because it was already gone!!! -- posted by Rollin in the Dough!

Apple Butter

Mon, 14 Dec 2009 15:18:32 -0500

Apple butter may be the highest use of the apple, especially some kinds of apples! This recipe works well with mealy, not-too-sweet "cooking apples," such as White Winter Pearmain, which we used. You may want to back off on the sugar, especially if boiling in apple juice. My mom and I started with a standard recipe and adjusted to taste. Note: Requires a food mill and a blender. Terrific on vanilla ice cream. -- posted by California Canner
