I always take my bananas that have gotten over-ripe and toss them into a freezer bag and freeze for later use. Toss one into a smoothie, bake some banana bread or muffins....

My mom works for a hardware distributor (they sell to hardware stores). So I usually get my jars through her at a wholesale price. About $6 per case. More often than not, she doesn't let me pay for them and says that I can just give her a couple jars of whatever I make (yeah, because I...

Out of curiousity, what kind of pectin did you use? I rarely have good luck on liquid pectin recipes. I know there are folks who SWEAR by it, but I generally don't get a good set. Either too soft or a weird goopy-ish texture. So I was just wondering. I wonder if it is an altitude thing...

Quote: That is a lot of oil. I think Ball recommends only 1/2 cup of oil? So perhaps it is a misprint. I'm thinking that 2 CUPS of oil would not look or taste all that pretty either. Also, if you add a bit of nice red wine with a pH lower than 4.0 (should say right on the lable) it helps...

Where did you find a copycat recipe for ragu? How large a batch does it make? I wasn't super crazy about the sauce I've canned the last couple of years (not bad, just not great), so I would love to try a new spaghetti recipe!

We are on a partial water ban here. Even with the rain the last two nights, the garden (and everything else for that matter) is looking pretty dry and wilted. I think the rain came down way too fast and way too hard for the ground to absorb it well. Looking at your siggy ~As is the garden...

I am completely feeling like a slacker!

Looks yummy!

mmmm....pickled peaches is a favorite of ours!

ok, got a dumb question for y'all..... In all the years I've planted a garden, my carrots have never done well. Most years they never even germinated. If they did, I got these fat little stubs (gotta love all the sand and granite in NH!). This year they are doing AWESOME!. They germinated...

Apple Hill Orchard in Concord. 2.75/lb I just checked the PYO for your county...none near you. You should come out for a visit!

I'm going to go pick some black currents today....and in the freezer they will go! I just found a new place not to far from me that has red, yellow, and black raspberries. Not sure if I can get there today or if I will have to go tomorrow. I need to go pick blueberries too....why oh why...

This sadly is my husband when it comes to cooking or housework. His mother did everything. She cleaned his room for him every single day while he was at school. If I wont be home for dinner, he makes the kids grilled or nuked hot dogs with potato chips, cereal, or PB&J. Or he just takes them...

fancy!

60 qts of green beans....between the regular green beans with dinner and the spicy gingered green beans I make...we could most definitely go through 60 qts in a yearn I think.

Hi and welcome! As Ace's said, canning is very addictive!

My children actually have quite a few chores (this mostly applies to the oldest two ages 9 and 6) . They make their beds every morning, pick up their rooms, empty the dishwasher. The oldest helps her 3 year old sister pick out clothes for the day and then does her own quiet devotion time...

I'd share if we lived a little closer!
