M.sue :
HELPPPPPP......... My DH has another wheel barrel of tomatoes!! I'm getting all canned out and tomatoes aren't my favorite to begin with!!
Do you have a dehydrator? I dried a bunch this year and then stuck them in the freezer. I plan to reconstitute them for sauces and to use on pizza etc.

I can find ginger "root" but the "stem ginger" is something different and is some type of processed ginger in syrup. It comes in a jar. Now the "crystalized" ginger is something different too. It was $12 for a small bottle at the grocery store but I got some at the asian store for $5. That is what I am going to use in the recipe for my jam.
I have plenty of recipes for ginger jams and jellies in the books and I could spend forever just trying them out.
I am definitely going to hit the used book store for books. We have some really nice ones here.
On another note I took out every book on preserving and jams and jellies from the public library and I've found some interesting recipes.
One for a zucchini pineapple , one for a Green tomatoe pie filling and another for an Eggplant jam.
I didn't grow zucchini this year cuz no one eats it, and I don't like egg plant so I only grow the little finger kind and Lord have mercy if DW doesn't let the spoil. If any of these interest anyone I can give you the title of the books and you can get them from your library. If not I can try to scan and send you the recipes by e-mail.
Take care,

I got two bushels of apples and going to attempt to get back into canning by doing some applesauce and apple butter. Any hints or suggestions to make it easier than the book says it is?
Get one of those squeezo machines...piece of cake! That's what I am doing today....TErri O

I have been making my butters in the crockpot for the past two years. Much easier than constant stirring

Same here!
I do the apple sauce in the crockpot too, that cooks down in only a couple of hours as well... much quicker.
