    A simple tomato sauce. It was my first canning recipe and still my favorite because it works for so many dishes

  • bkielb  on  April 1, 2016

    Mine is basic, but last summer I discovered Strawberry freezer jam and it has become one of my very favorite things to make in a jar. In fact, right now it is the only thing I make in a jar and I would love add some more deliciousness to my repertoire!

  • tjnelson1hotmail  on  April 1, 2016

    Quick pickles….but I would like to do more!

  • sartorialsal  on  April 1, 2016

    So far (in the spirit of positive thinking!), the best thing I've made is a Balsamic Strawberry Jam. The temptations offered by a book replete with ideas will be such a treat, especially with spring and summer upon us.

  • FaithB  on  April 1, 2016

    pickled garlic cloves

  • robinorig  on  April 19, 2016

    I've made so many, hard to pick one… spicy tomato jam with vanilla, saffron, etc is probably one of my favorites… strawberry balsamic black pepper jam is another, also made a citrus marmalade with Cara cara oranges, meyer lemons, key limes, ruby grapefruit and kumquats. And pickles and pickled veggies…

Seen anything interesting? Let us know & we'll share it!
