For the truly faint at heart, you can use sweet peppers instead of hot - still good. JB and I had a good time making jelly and relish. I'm looking forward to doing it again.Dadnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21874386.post-75110364724474712872009-09-05T20:51:03.976-04:002009-09-05T20:51:03.976-04:00Joy - when I was at the farmers market this mornin...Joy - when I was at the farmers market this morning there was a guy selling chive jelly.

This morning, I received a...Can I come next month?<br /><br />This morning, I received a Not Your Average Joes Email and thought of you - here's a snippet of info that might be helpful to you!<br /><br />- How to freeze summer tomatoes to be used over the cold winter in sauces and stews: Pick tomatoes that are fully colored and tender (but not mushy or soft) and clean them well. Dip 2 to 3 tomatoes at a time into boiling water, removing after 30 seconds with a slotted spoon. Slide off the skins and remove the core. Pack the tomatoes into freezer bags and lay them flat on your freezer shelf. Frozen tomatoes stay fresh up to one year.<br /><br />~ How to pickle summer vegetables, also known as corning: Combine 3 C. white wine vinegar, 2 C. water, 1 1/2 T. sea salt, 2 cloves garlic, 1 t. black peppercorns, 1/4 C. sugar and bring to a simmer. Add vegetables and simmer until cooked to desired tenderness. Remove with a slotted spoon and cool. Add 1/4 C. olive oil and 1/4 C. balsamic vinegar to the pickling liquid and pour it back over the vegetables in storage containers. Cool, and then cover containers with lids. Pickled vegetables will last one month.stoned foxnoreply@blogger.com
