» mastiffs2005 - Retiring topic...
In response to message posted by DarleneCheek:Hi everyone! Just wanted to post a note here to let you all know that I'm going to have to retire this topic. Things at home are so very busy right now, and my fibro isn't being very cooperative, and it's just too much. I can't keep up with the monthly publishing schedule here
I'm sure someone will pick up this topic though!
Thanks for all the fun here! I appreciate all of you so much!
Love & Hugs,
Dar

In response to message posted by DarleneCheek:Oh Dar, I was so looking forward to hanging around the table with you. I would love to pick up the topic but the lupus/fibro combo barely lets me keep up with my present topic.
Well, look forward to seeing you at fibro friends.

In response to message posted by LilBitz:(((Barbe))) I knew you'd be disappointed! This is a great topic, though, so I know someone will adopt it quickly! I may email Keetha (who wrote Culinary Kudzu) and tell her this topic will be up for adoption. She's a sweetheart! Too bad you don't feel like doing it because you'd be wonderful!
I've got an egroup for southern cooking though, and you're more than welcome to join us!

See you at fibro friends - where I need to check in before they send out the bloodhounds after me
Love & Hugs,
Dar

Wow Darlene! That looks great! There's just something about a pantry full of home canning that makes a home feel warm and comforting.
What are the red jars? They remind me of tomato preserves and I love tomato preserves!

» mastiffs2005 - Tomato preserves...
In response to message posted by JButler:The quart jars at the top are stewed tomatoes and soup tomatoes, and the pints near the bottom are salsa - I hadn't even thought of making tomato preserves, but I sure will now! I'll let ya know how I like 'em
And thank ya ma'am!
Oh, and just checked, and sure enough there's a recipe for tomato preserves in the Ball Blue Book of Preserving - sure they won't mind if I share
1 1/2 quarts small yellow, green or red tomatoes (about 2 pounds)
1 tablespoon mixed pickling spices
1 (1/2") piece fresh ginger
4 cups sugar
1 cup thinly sliced and seeded lemon (about 2 medium)
3/4 cup water
Wash and peel tomatoes; drain. Tie spices and fresh ginger in a spice bag. Combine spice bag, sugar, lemon and water in a large saucepot. Simmer 15 minutes. Add tomatoes; cook gently until tomatoes become transparent, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. Remove from heat. Cover and let stand 12 to 18 hours in a cool place. Remove spice bag. Remove tomatoes and lemon from syrup. Boil syrup 3 minutes or longer to thicken. Return tomatoes and lemon to syrup; boil 1 minute. Remove from heat. Skim foam if necessary. Ladle hot preserves into hot jars, leaving 1/4" headspace. Adjust two-piece caps. Process 20 minutes in a boiling-water canner. Makes about 6 half-pints.
Love & Hugs,
Dar
