Ingredients: fruit pectin, strawberries...

"I use the slicing blade on my Cuisinart to make the slicing job fast and easy. I have monkeyed around with this recipe since the early 1980s, and about 10 years ago I settled on this combination of ingredients. I don't process them (I did once and I found the texture of the pickles suffered) but you certainly can if you wish. You can also store..."

Ingredients: pickling cucumbers, ice cubes...

"This is an adaptation of Paula Wolfert's quick method, made even faster by blanching the lemons first. We love it in all kinds of salads and as a low-fat alternative to olives."

Ingredients: coarse salt, lemons, olive oil...

"This is a simple recipe and posted per recipe request. The recipe doesn't state if you should peel and core the pears before cooking them, I would definitely not skip this step, I think the pear peels would make some pretty gritty preserves."

Ingredients: lemons, pears, sugar...

"I am on a fresh ginger kick, plus it's the time of year (it's autumn as I write this) to use those fresh apples! I really appreciate that this recipe makes such a small amount that you can keep it in the fridge, without the bother of processing it. Makes a great hostess gift, too."

Ingredients: dried apricots, fresh ginger...

"I adjusted 2 recipes I had for pickles and relish as I couldn't find a suitable Dill relish recipe anywhere."

Ingredients: cucumbers, dill seeds...

"Posted in response to a request for dill pickles made without vinegar. This recipe is per quart; make as many quarts as you like. These are excellent, and very easy to make. The hardest part about making pickles is scrubbing the cucumbers, and I'm not kidding. I prefer fairly small pickling cucumbers, and pay a premium to get them. Dump them in a..."

Ingredients: fresh lemon juice, granulated sugar...

"We grew a TON of tomatoes this last season. There were still blooms on the plants in November when we got our first frost. But Andy was on top of things and ran outside and plucked off all the remaining tomatoes so they wouldn't be ruined. We ended up with what seemed like an overwhelming amount of tomatoes, mostly green but some good red ones..."

Ingredients: cider vinegar, ground allspice...

"I have not yet tried this, but it is from an overdue library book (From Our Mothers' Kitchens) and I want to return the book tomorrow, so need to get the recipes I want to try copied down, pronto. Come fall, there is always a need for green tomato recipes and this pickle sounds like a real winner to me. Prep time includes the standing time."

Ingredients: cinnamon, green bell peppers...
