I got a Breadman TR4000 Ultimate Bread Machine. Still reading up on how to use this thing. My old bread machine is dying, so this was a nice surprise. I do not recommend getting this one as a first, it's very complicated but oh my how many cool things this thing will do!!! I think it even...

Years ago I worked at Marie Callendar's Pies. During the Thanksgiving and Christmas season, we had Mince pie with rum sauce. That is the best stuff ever!!! I can make the mince pie, but does anyone have a recipe for the hot rum sauce?

10 things.... 1. I'm 5'5", the tallest person in my family. My dad was 5'3". My big sister is 4'11". 2. I lived in Japan for 3 yrs back in '78. Oldest daughter, Sara, was born there. She left for Japan last March for a 1 yr contract to teach English to get to know the country she was born in...

Thanks, guys, for the warm welcome. I am loving all the ideas and recipes here.

Aha! Thanks, Michael. And I was so proud of my garage sale find Blue Book for 25 cents! I should have stuck to my original canning cookbook. I will definitely try the one jar method and see what happens. I guess I will end up with either a glaze for ham, Marmalade!! (yes!!), or Orange...

This hot drink is the best ever, I have started my day for over 20 yrs with it. My dr. decaffeinated me, so I drink it decaf now, but it is still yummy. My daughter, when she was 2, asked me why I had a jar of dirt on the kitchen counter, so it's the family joke to call it "Mud" now. Said...

purrfectlydevine, Thank you for the recipes! Do you by chance have one for Cheeseburger Macaroni? On the rate occasion I use HH, that is my fav.

I left the house at 5:40 a.m. on Black Friday, hit Kohl's, Sears, and Foley's, was done by 9:30 a.m. and had done some serious damage to whittle down my Christmas list. I then had to conquer Walmart for foodstuff and stocking stuffers. I'm now decluttering the house before I bring down the...

Sorry for the lack of info. I got my recipe from my ancient Ball Blue Book. Calls for 4 oranges, 2 lemons, 2 1/2 c. water, 1/8 t. soda, 1 pkg pectin, 6 c. sugar, and 1/4 t. nutmeg. I spent an enourmous amt of time removing the peel, scraping off most of the white. I combined the peel with the...

Hello, new forumite here. I live in a suburb of Dallas, TX, love cooking and trying new recipes. I have way too many cookbooks, and am always on the prowl for new recipes. I've already found a recipe for Ranch Dressing that I have been looking for. I look forward to sharing on this forum...

I'm a first timer making Orange Marmalade, and although I'm pretty sure I will never make it again (way too much work), I need to fix the batch I have. It's runny, not nearly as thick as it should be. So...I recooked it, added another pkg of certo, and it did not make a bit of difference. I hate...
