I grew up making homemade jams/jellies with my mom and sisters/brother. Mom always used the recipe that came inside the pectin boxes...you can get pectin at any grocery store and I have even seen it at Walmart...The recipe for jams/jellies is essentially fruit, sugar and pectin....sterilize your jars with boiling water or you can run them through the dishwasher as that sterilizes them also...for jams and jellies the best size jars I have found to be the pint sized ones...You can seal the jars with parafin....that is how mom used to seal the jars but I have found that ...(Answered by cheri_da_rn) |

How long does homemade cranberry sauce keep?
Every year I make my own cranberry sauce with cointreau and every year I serve it on boxing day with a ham/pates and cheeses. People are so complimentary about it, I would like to make a few extra jars as gifts. However, I really want to do this today as we are going away for a few days. Will it keep in a sterilized jar, in the fridge from lets say today, until January 1st? I would be grateful for you thoughts/experience.

It will definitely keep. Just store it in the fridge until you're ready to give them out.
I make a cranberry relish with Grand Marnier every year and it keeps for months in the fridge....(Answered by sassy n) |

If you are really serious... There are people who do this, apparently. If you Google the words: breastmilk butter - you will get results - for better or worse!

Interesting... And a little weird if I do say so myself... Apparently all you do is take a container of expressed breastmilk and shake it vigorously until it becomes... butter.
You can also make yogurt, apparently:

canning pork and beans?
i have a great recipe for pork and beans and it makes 10 - 12 portions. This is way too much for two people to eat in one sitting (if we did eat all of it I don't think anybody would really want to sit with us).What is the proceedure for canning them and do I need a specific size jar to do so? I understand i have to put the beans into sterilized jars but for how long do I have to put them in the pot of boiling water? Thanks

Yes you can can pork and beans but first you must purchase a pressure cooker/canner. The only FDA approved safe way for canning any food must be done by this method as the old fashioned boiling water canning methods are unsafe & could result in fatal botulism poisoning. Pressure cooker/canners are relatively inexpensive and pressure cooking is a fast, safe, and fun way of not only canning foods but also preparing meals in only about the third of the time it takes using conventional cooking methods (outside of microwaving). For instance, you can prepare a complete corned beef and cabbage ...(Answered by COACH) |
