Hi Achternaam,

Sometimes, you have to improvise in the kitchen. Last week I made jam from plums in my freezer. (I'm working on getting it cleaned out.) Anyway, I had to smash said plums with a slotted spoon instead of my potato masher because we're moving...and the potato masher is already at the new place.

I find myself looking for things and they're not where they're supposed to be!

Thankfully, the recipes on my website haven't moved places. They're still right where they're supposed to be. :)

Canning Applesauce - Canning Chat recently added. Jan asks, “Can Splenda be used to can applesauce? My granddaughter is a diabetic, but she loves applesauce.” Learn the answer in the Canning Chat we just added to this page.

Dehydrating Tomatoes - Page recently updated. After you dehydrate tomatoes, you can turn them into tomato powder, which can be used for making sauce or thickening other dishes.

Canning Corn - Personally, I like the flavor of home-canned corn too. Canning corn from your own garden or another local grower is still better than store-bought canned sweet corn.
