If I hadn’t just come in from turning over the garden, I’d give you a standing ovation. Well said!
American Country’s “Country Cooking.” I bought it at a used book store and every recipe I’ve tried (and I’ve tried quite a few) has been a gem.

I’ve just started learning about preserving and canning this year. So far, I’ve made a couple of jams, pickles and relishes. I thought they came out pretty good! I felt particularly rewarded when my parents came to visit and they couldn’t get enough of them.
Next on my list of things to teach myself is pressure canning and complex preserving.

I made a half batch, substituting pepperconi peppers for the jalapenos, which I couldn’t get at my local grocery. I also skipped the dill, since I don’t care for dill.
The week of waiting was up today and oh my oh my, are these ever super delish!
Definately a five-chicken rating!
