"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."

Ingredients: cider vinegar, coarse salt...

"Posted in response to a request. I haven't tried this, but love the idea of using that which would normally be tossed to make something delightful. Cook time is approximate and does not include water bath time."

"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. I developed this recipe to conform to the requirements of safe canning practices while still tasting as much like fresh salsa as possible. 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. For my first canning experience she had fresh beets and leftover liquid so she sent me home with them, the recipe, her canner and jarss. I have been canning ever since.

Ingredients: cinnamon, sugar, lemons...

Ingredients: anaheim chilies, serrano chilies...

"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...

"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.
