I have a mountain of habanero peppers, so I think I'd like to smoke them and can them in adobo sauce. Anyone have a good, simple adobo sauce that will be suitable for canning? Thanks

I know I can simply mix pineapple and chopped habaneros, but I'd like something suitable for canning, and I don't know if the chemistry is right. Does anyone make anything like this? Additional ingredients? (I'll probably used canned crushed pineapple) Thanks

Does anyone make tomato soup and can it? Recipe? Can stuff with milk / cream / butter be canned? I'm drowning in Roma tomatoes. I've made sauce, and salsa. It would be nice to be able to put some soup up too. Thanks

Sunday I made my first two loaves of bread by hand. (well, the Kitchenaid did the kneading). I used the recipe for white bread from The Bread Maker's Apprentice and did the free form torpedo shape. They turned out very good. They were a tad crumblier that I would have liked, so I'm wondering...

My apologies if this has been asked before. I'm just getting into "dough stuff" and want to use my Kitchenaid. I made pretzels last week with pretty good success, and I hope to make pizza dough tonight, but have a few questions. What I want to know, generally speaking is: What speed do you...

Can a regular spray bottle be used (new, or after cleaning of course) for spritzing olive oil? Those pump things are crap. I've tried one, but it didn't work. I thought maybe it was just the particular bottle I used.

If you were going to go out and buy one bread making book, or recommend one to someone else, which would you choose? I have never made bread before besides in a bread machine. I'd like to get into making white and whole grain breads this winter. Perhaps some artisan breads also, although I...

I have a friend who smoked a bunch of jalapenos for me. Didn't dry them completely, so I froze them. I'm wondering if I can take them out of the freezer and dry them on the dehydrator at this point? After they were dry, I would use the food processor to make a chipoltle powder. I think it...

I need a recommendation on a good red wine for someone who doesn't drink. My HDL levels are low, so I'm considering taking a little red wine in the evening for health reasons. I've never been fond of alcoholic beverages, but I use cooking wine all the time, so something that would serve as...

I'd like to stew crushed pineapple with minced habanero peppers. Will this combination be ok to can in a water bath? It's basically 1 habanero per can of crushed pineapple.

I had never used masa harina in my chili before. I made venison chili last night for a church dinner today. What I did was mix the masa right into the raw venison, and fried it in olive oil. I figured the masa would thicken the chili while it cooked. It seems to have worked great, and now I have...

Generally speaking, how hot should a crock pot heat the food on the lowest setting? The last few crock pots I've had seem to be too hot, even on low. Anyone else notice anything like this? What is the best way to test the temp?

to dehydrated cherry tomatoes. I wish I had figured this out sooner. I don't like to eat raw tomatoes, but I love these things. I think most people dry them until they are leathery. They are good like that, kind of raisin-ish. But I also love the overdried ones that are crispy. They are like...

I dry cayennes, of course, but I also have jalapenos, and habaneros ripening. I'm sure they can be dried in my dehydrator, but my question is, should they be? Is there value in these peppers dried? Anyone doing it? Thanks

Like many folks, we have a pizza stone gathering dust in a cupboard. My friends that use them say they keep them in the oven all the time. So those of you who use the stones, how do you get your bread on and off the stone? A pizza peel?

Can someone describe to me, in general, how the Kitchenaid with the dough hook is used during the bread making process? What steps does it (or can it) replace. Initial mixing of course, but what about kneading? I know the real answer is "it all depends" but if someone can give me a general...

So what, in your opinion is the healthiest bread? Something whole grain, high fiber, high protein. Any ideas? recipe? I'm new to bread making, and I figured I'd skip over white and go right to healthy. Thanks

I'd like to start keeping various flours around the house. Can someone give me ideas as to their uses? My local co-op has the following: masa chapati whole wheat buckwheat rye spelt oat (I think) I'd like to use these without adding white flour if possible. I've used masa already, to make...

Hi. New to the forum. I love to cook and this discussion board looks really good. Anyone have a basic recipe for cooking oat bran as a hot cereal in the microwave. Google hasn't been much help.
