Fresh Peach Freezer Jam
The secret to good freezer Peach Jam, is to have the peaches
*perfectly ripe!


6 large ripe peaches, peeled
   (about 5 cups mashed)
8 cups sugar
2 (1.75 oz.) packages
   Sure-Jell - Fruit Pectin)
1-1/2 cups water
 
Makes 6 pints; wash and rinse containers. You can use plastic or jars.
*It’s important to have ripe peaches so that you can just pull the peeling off with a paring knife; place in a large bowl or pot, and then slice. Mash with a potato masher until well mashed, but leave a few small bits and pieces. Stir sugar into prepared fruit, mix well. Cover and let stand 2 to 3 hours stirring occasionally.
In a medium size saucepan, whisk pectin with 1-1/2 cups cold water. Bring to a boil on high heat, stirring constantly. Boil 1 minute, stirring constantly; remove from heat and then pour into fruit. Stir 3 minutes until all the sugar is completely dissolved. Pour into containers, leaving 1/2 inch space to allow for expansion during freezing. Let stand at room temperature 24 hours until set. Refrigerate up to 3 weeks OR store in freezer for up to 1 year. Thaw in refrigerator.

summertime potato salad
I have many different versions of potato salad. I generally use whatever I have on hand. When the potatoes begin to grow, they always get turned into some kind of potato salad.


3 lbs yellow (gold) potatoes
Salt for boiling water
1 cup Wishbone Italian
   salad dressing
2 tablespoons grainy mustard
1/2 teaspoon celery seed
1/2 chopped red onion
1/2 cup chopped celery
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Fresh ground black pepper
   to your taste
2 tablespoons chopped
   fresh dill
Boiled eggs for garnish on top
 
Place un-peeled potatoes in a large pot and then cover over with water. Sprinkle a generous amount of salt and then cover with lid. Bring to a low boil and cook for 30  minutes. Drain and allow cooling enough to handle potatoes. Peel potatoes and then cut into cubes. Mix Together with remaining ingredients and toss well. Garnish with boiled eggs on top.
