This is a nut place and hs all kinds of flours - coconut, almond, quinoa,

pistachio, all kinds.  Has dried fruits.  I was looking for pectin as I saw a

strawberry jam recipe tha didn't have pectin in it ad I wodered why and anyway,

stumbled on this site.  Had a recipe the other nightthat as strawberries and

lemon juice and sugar.  It was really good.  Does the acidity of the lemon or

strawberries ean pectin is not needed?  Back when my daughte was a teenager she

picked strawberries and i got a recipe from a box of pectin and she and my son

made strawberry jam and it was sealed by the boiling method.  One we made at a

cooking school the other night was cooked a long time but no pectin in it and it

was not put in the hot water bath, but it wasn't going to be kept for a long

time.  We used it on scones and then any left over could be put in the

refrigerator for a week.  I'd rather have them in the hot water bath and have

them sealed.   My son

said early in th sping that he was going to get strawberries this summer - June

- when strawberry Festival happened in our old hometown that he was making

strawberry jam.  He is a good cook.  He figured out a recipe for tortllas from

ones on line and kept on until he had a really god recipe. He cooks chocolate

gravy (a family recipe for a hot chocolate sauce thatis putover biscuits for

breakfast).  That recipe comes out of Tenessee.  Guess that is not a vry

healthy recipe but it is part of our heritage - an heirloom. 

 

Anyway made me think about how I've not mad it except with one of the kids.  

He can do other things too.  I din't know that asaragus was great grilled until

he grilled them.

For even more fun, try the red popcorn!

inches. I plant them in my " three sisters " container garden. When you harvest

and dry them, you can pop the entire ear of corn, or you can scrape of the

kernals and sprout them! Good fun. IMAGINE your neighbors when they see you

growing popcorn! Here is a link telling more about them, but I know nothing

about this seed vendor, I just found the link for info for you. I got my initial

seeds from " Seeds of Change " which are sold in a whole foods type store.
