Ingredients: tart red cherries, ascorbic acid...

"My tomatoes overflowth! I was looking for ways to use my bounty and stumbled into this recipe on-line. It is so good I felt that it also needed to be on Zaar. The use of 1 serrano chili produces a very slight heat. If you want it "hotter", up the amount of chili. I made this with fresh garden tomatoes and fresh garden basil."

Ingredients: serrano chilies, fresh basil...

"Don't be put off by the steps involved in making these pickles. It is not really hard at all, just takes a few minutes of planning time to work out the cooking when it is best for your schedule. The end results are well worth the effort. People do not believe that these are cucumber pickles. Most people think they are cinnamon apple rings."

Ingredients: cinnamon sticks, cucumbers...

"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: pickling cucumbers, dill seeds...

"This is an excellent relish! Found this somewhere out on the web and it truly is yummy on hamburgers."

Ingredients: cider vinegar, cinnamon sticks...

"This recipe is on several internet sites so not sure who really to give credit to but did not see anything like it on Zaar. I looked at it and thought "Oh Brother" but it was worth it. Really it was! Super little sweet crunchy gherkins!"

Ingredients: cinnamon sticks, cucumbers...

"This is something absolutely wonderful. It's kind of a fruit relish that combines a exciting variety of taste sensations; sweet, hot, fruity, and tangy. Serve this fantastic blatjang with kebabs or curries. I like canning this and always have a jar handy, thus the large measurements."

Ingredients: coriander seeds, dried apricots...

Ingredients: fresh lemon juice, sugar...

"I created this recipe by combining a few different recipes, but the main inspiration came from Liana Krissoff and Rachel Saunders.
The pectin in this recipe comes from the lemons, which are blanched once to remove some of the bitterness, and then soaked to leach the pectin out of the rinds. You will need to use the cold plate test to determine..."

Ingredients: meyer lemons, lemon juice...

"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...

"This is from my Mother in law."

Ingredients: cinnamon sticks, cucumbers...

"I searched for a long time to find a way to make shelf-stable pickled jalapenos that remained crunchy after the jars were processed in a boiling water bath. I tried Pickle Crisp and I tried alum, but neither of these worked. So I finally tried a pickling lime soak, and it worked! It takes more time, but it works - the peppers stay crunchy. Follow..."

Ingredients: dried oregano, pickling lime...

"I sent one of my pork-o-phile Zaar buddies a picture of my kraut and am posting the recipe at her request. Yes, you can make one head of cabbage at a time but I would go for about 50 pounds! It is that good. Cooking time is fermenting time. Use lint free cloths. Have fun! UPDATE: Well, this has turned out to be my most requested home-canned treat..."

Ingredients: pickling salt, cabbage...

"This recipe came from my friend Michael. He got the recipe from his grandmother, and made a few changes to it. (Like figuring out her very cryptic instructions.) These are a different pickled onion than the usual, having no extra spices and having a distinct salty quality. Of course, they don't have nearly as much salt in them as called for by..."

Ingredients: small onion, sugar, vinegar...
