  1. I scaled the recipe back to make 2 pints. This will be great on veggie burgers! Good taste and fairly easy to make. Thank you!
     
  2. My MIL and I made this today. We havent tasted it yet by rating by smell it will be awesome. I got 8 pints and two 1/2 pint jars out of it ( so MIL could take some home with her). It was easy to prepare and cooked up so nice. The red peppers gave it such great color. Thanks for posting it.
