"This was my husband's grandmother's recipe. It is so good. Store-bought pickles don't even come close. This is a good recipe for anyone who would like to try pickling, but hasn't done it before. It's quite straight forward, not a lot of ingredients."

"Most recipes for canning salsa call for vinegar, which I do not like at all. It makes the salsa taste more like a pickle and less like a fresh salsa.

Salting and straining the tomatoes prevents the salsa from being..."

Ingredients: cilantro, ground cumin, garlic...

"My bosses wife gave me this recipe that used to belong to her mother. They are wonderful and easy to make.

"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."

"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.
