"Warp-Speed because you make it in the microwave - no all-day cooking for this spicy-sweet spread! My kids like to put it on their toast, and pretend they're having pumpkin pie for breakfast! It does taste like pumpkin pie filling, and makes a wonderful hostess gift. Make sure your recipient puts this right into the refrigerator! NOTE: Don't..."

Ingredients: cinnamon, cloves, ginger...

"I use a lot of bell peppers when I cook, and I like to use all different colors, but those yellow and orange babies get mighty pricey where I live, so when they go on sale I buy up a few of every color and they're right at my fingertips whenever I need them! (These are for use in cooking, not for fresh eating)."

Ingredients: water, bell peppers...

"I developed this way to freeze corn when other methods came out watery, mushy or tasteless. The butter puts a seal around the kernels the lets it keep crunch and the flavor in. I do about 2-3 batches per year and it keeps me through to next season. Number of ears will vary depending on size."

Ingredients: corn on the cob, ziploc bags...

"Another use for those unripe or end of season green tomatoes. It really does taste like raspberry jam! I got this recipe from Southern Living."

Ingredients: sugar, green tomatoes...

"I do not know where this recipe came from. A friend gave it to me. This is THE BEST SAUCE I've ever had!! We use to like dining out at Italian places but not now. Not after eating this sauce. I don't think there is any sauce that will taste as good as this. My Husband eats this stuff by the spoonful. It is that good!! (I don't claim it..."

Ingredients: dried basil, chopped tomatoes...

"I like to make my own curry paste. This way I know that the compliments I get for my curries are entirely up to myself. The good thing is that the paste keeps for a couple of weeks in the fridge and can be frozen. The paste makes wonderful presents too. I give them away together with coconut milk, some kaffir lime leaves (I have my own plant), and..."

Ingredients: ground cumin, red paprika...

"These wonderful tomatoes can be put on toasted bread with cheese to make bruschetta or you can add them to pasta dishes. They also make yummy garnishes and are good in salads. Don't throw the olive oil away when the tomatoes are gone! It will be infused with tomato flavor and is great to use in salad dressings or on pasta. The tomatoes will keep..."

Ingredients: fresh ground pepper, Italian tomatoes...

"A great sauce for all those tomatoes you don't know what to do with. Plus if you put it in freezer bags it takes up very little room in your freezer and great tasting."

Ingredients: pepper, dried basil...

"Saw this on line and had to add to my want to make list of recipes sounds yummy.
How simple can it get to turn the freshness of berries into delicious jam for your family.
Just imagine it glazed on pork or chicken, as a spread over cream cheese......
For a stronger smokey flavor and added heat, use additional chipotle peppers until..."

Ingredients: chipotle chiles in adobo, pectin...

"My first year of college I waited tables in a small family owned restaurant. This was one of my favorite things offered on the salad bar. I was lucky enough to get the family recipe. I have never made it, but I sure ate a lot of it. The recipe says it makes 2 quarts, but that sure does not sound right to me unless those veggies shrivel up a lot!"

Ingredients: green peppers, onions...

"Great way to use those tomatoes at the end of the season. Can be canned if you can keep it around that long."

Ingredients: banana peppers, cornstarch...

"This is a recipe that I've already requested twice, so I'm posting it to avoid losing it. My husband's best friend's mother makes them every summer and everyone just loves them. She makes them in ice cream pails. I prefer to make them in large jars (like the gallon jars that commercial pickles come in for restaurant use). The pickled..."

Ingredients: pickling cucumbers, fresh dill...

"This was the first recipe for dill pickles I ever made, and it's still a favourite. I like the technique it uses of making the pickles right in the canning jars, rather than in a crock. I've since adapted the method to any fermented pickles that I make. This makes one quart of pickles; you simply multiply the brine for the number of quarts of..."

Ingredients: dried hot peppers, cucumbers...

"When my two fig trees are in season, I struggle to cope with the amount of fruit they produce..........a rather nice problem I have to admit! We eat figs fresh with nearly every meal; I make jams, conserves and also bottle the fruit in liquor. However, this is one of my favourite ways of using some of my fresh figs, and this chutney is just amazing..."

Ingredients: demerara sugar, fresh ground black pepper...
