I saw that, but that's such a small amount for the large amount of chopped peaches. I just don't see how you can coat that many. You think it's okay then? Thanks to everyone!

Hi all. This is my first go at canning and I have a quick question. I'm using this recipe and I have a dwarf peach tree, so my peaches are small but very juicy and delicious. The problem with them being small is that it takes a long time to get them all skinned and cut up. I have twice (may even...

HI all! I didn't think this would be a tall order, but I cannot find exactly what I'm looking for. I'm headed to Socal next week to visit my husband. You see he works out there - lives in Navy barracks, though Navy retired - and we only get to see each other and spend time together twice a...

I have an excellent slow cooker Tuscan Chicken Stew recipe that I love. However the economy being what it is, and my local market also being what it is, I need to make a change. Traditionally cannellini beans are used, but I'm tired of the cost of those type of beans as well as my market being...

I've done a Google search and I am seeing different answers. While all agree on what it actually is, that being "the upper layer of milk in a container enriched by whatever cream has risen" and that it occurs in non-pasteurized milk. What everyone disagrees on is today's equivalent. The...

I would agree that at times some recipes are not that definite, but this one is definite. The rest of the ingredients are all very definite and the measurement is given for the rice, just not in a normal fashion. What I was saying was that I've never heard of cooked rice being given in a...

Thanks be to the both of you! Many thanks. I'm writing this all down for future reference too. :) The one thing that gets me about that recipe is who the heck measures cooked rice by weight? That's very odd. I can see pre-cooked weight, but post-cooked? Very strange. Oh well, just another...

Okay, I love this video. The problem is I have no idea how much 350 grams or 14 oz. or cooked rice is. I mean, I get that 8 oz = one cup, IF we're talking volume but this sounds like a weight to me. Should I just go with two cups of rice? It kind of looks about 2 cups-ish.

I make my own spice mixes (old bay, taco seasoning, instant onion soup mix, blackening, barbecue spice rub, etc.) and always eliminate the salt from the recipe. It usually doesn't make much difference when it's measured out. I don't have any recipes to share because I use any and all recipes...

I'm having such trouble! I managed to get some acorn squash on sale at a local farmer's market and I have such picky eaters in this house that it's quickly turning into a nightmare. I thought this would be a nice change, until they hated the baked acorn squash I made the other day with brown...

Oops, I forgot to mention the other cookbook. When I said I have one cookbook I thought I was forgetting something. *insert senior moment here* :lol: I have TWO cookbooks. Family Favorites and To Try. To Try is just that, recipes that sound yummy but I've not used yet. If it's good and the...

Does Living Cookbook import MC cookbooks? I myself bought MC not too long ago because of the price, but I didn't realize it was no longer supported. I've used it so much already that I hate to make any change without knowing if it'll import from other software. That's the whole problem with...

I have a condensed cream soup base recipe that I absolutely adore with the typical standard ingredients of butter, flour and milk. I've used it for baked potato soup, cream of chicken/mushroom, cream of broccoli and so forth. The one thing I cannot figure out though is how to make a condensed...

Perfect! Love the black bean and corn salad idea. You'll never believe this but I have a recipe for that that I absolutely adore. My daughter suggested I fix it last night with the wraps and I said that they probably wouldn't go well together. I guess she was right! I'll have to tell her. Thanks...

I'm stumped and cannot come up with a good side for my Caribbean chicken wraps. Normally I would serve a salad, but I don't like lettuce and usually use spinach instead. Well, the wraps have spinach too because I don't like lettuce! :lol: Oh and by the way, that spinach is just yummyful in the...

Thanks everyone for the responses. :) I guess I'll just chuck the recipe then. It's true that most of it was processed, however soup is what I have to do. There are several that are more nutritious so I'll go with those I think. Thanks very much though again.

I found this recipe which sounds interesting, except that I don't like the creamer ingredient since it has no nutritional value. I suppose I could use non-fat dry milk, but how much should I use to make it as creamy as the creamer? Or should I just forgo the whole thing and find something else?

Are liners okay? I see that a lot of you use liners with your self-cleaning ovens and I just bought a new one today. I'm looking through the manual and one thing it says is, "No commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used in or around any part of the...

Thanks so much for all the ideas. We're on it again tonight and this time I'm going with the stewed tomatoes! :smile:

You're very welcome Dave! I hope you like it. I knew the OP hasn't been around, but I thought someone might find it and give it a go. :)

Did you ever find it? I know your post is very old, but I found this recipe that might help. You could probably add some pineapple to the mix. 1/4 cup peach preserves 1/4 cup apricot preserves 2 tablespoons light corn syrup 5 teaspoons white vinegar 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce 1/2 teaspoon yellow...

Ohhhh, that sounds perfect. I had already opened my soup can, but I'm saving your recipe for next time. We love tomato soup so we'll have it again very soon. Thank you so much!

I know about using milk.. yummy! in fact, I always use milk, basil and some hot pepper sauce. What I'm wondering though is if I could/should add some stewed tomatoes (chopped? pureed?) to it or if that would just be too nasty. I have tons of cans of stewed tomatoes (long story) and I'm making...

Oh wow. I thought I thanked you for this! I can't believe I didn't. I'm so very sorry about that. Hmmmm. Well in any case, thank you very much. That helped me tremendously!

Okay, this is just ridiculous but I'll just throw it in there anyway. In the medical field we use the degree sign for hours, or at least we used to. Of course, I can't see how that would be related to a reduction, but at least it's something different. :rolleyes: Do you think maybe it was...
