[cravenchx]

Just finished (finally) 10 qts. of collards.
Plus fixed dinner for me and DH, and a
friend who just had a hysterectomy.
Have Kalhua simmering now. AHHHH!

Cool, I make my own Kaluhua!

WHATTTTTT!!!! DO TELL!!

I'm sure there are many recipes, but this is a family favorite,
and hope this is the right place to post....
1 qt. H2O
4 tablespoons instant coffee
1 1/2 c. brown sugar
1 1/2 c. white sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla
Simmer 1 hour
Cool to lukewarm, then add 1/5 Vodka

I double the recipe and add 1/2 gallon vodka


I know true Kahlua is made with rum, but this is sooo good!

I bottle in old dark wine bottles and give for Christmas

Quick canning question..... when making weveral batches of ....say.... applesause, would you change the water in the waterbath canner? I would think that you would need to if making cowboy candy then, say applesause. But what about several batches of applesause?

Cleaning up all my canning jars and getting them boxed as they are emptied for next years use. Oh, I love fresh canned meats, veggies and fruits.

I've got lots of berries in the freezer - but my son gave me his cold and I still have to finish painting his room. (ugh, I'd much rather can)

Hopefully I'll get it done before Thanksgiving arrives. (I'm cooking)

Is anyone canning cranberries / cranberry sauce? I am thinking of trying it, but in the 4oz jars because I'm the only one in the house that eats it

Anyone have a good cranberry recipe (not just sauce, I have one for that)?

I know I can check craigs list....
but if anyone has any wide mouth jars
they want to get rid of....PM me!
