Roasted Red Peppers
If you haven’t tried making your own Roasted Red Peppers, now is your chance. Not only is this a very straightforward method, but best of all, you make each jar individually so you can make as many jars as you like. Or just a few.
Jalapeño Mustard
If you’ve got an abundance of jalapeño peppers, this sweet and spicy mustard is a great way to preserve them. The recipe is very easy and, since the jars are processed in a canner, they store for ages. No canner? No problem!
Peanut Butter Balls
These Peanut Butter Balls are quick and easy to mix up and no baking is required. Once you roll them into balls, the fun part is deciding how to finish them. The hard part is giving them away.
Potato Bread
This recipe for Potato Bread was featured in the 2007 edition of Food and Drink Magazine. It’s made with mashed potatoes, grated raw potatoes and loads of roasted garlic. Because this rustic loaf doesn’t have any yeast, it has a denser texture similar to a scone. But don’t be fooled by its simplicity. It’s hearty and delicious.
