Hi Dave,


DD>       Title: Bread & Butter Pickles w/Water Bath Canning Instructions

RH> Looks good. I'm debating using some of our frozen blueberries and
RH> strawberries to make jam; it would round out flavor choices a bit and
RH> give me a break from making it next year. I'd still want to make some
RH> peach jam tho, and maybe strawberry rhubarb.

DD> I've never "got" the strawberry-rhubarb conflation. I've tried it more
DD> than a few times and the flavours do not work well together for me. I
DD> quite like the tartness of the rhubarb (and wid picked gooseberries).

I like it, have had some that has been really sweet, other that has been
on the tart side. It's good either way IMO.

DD> I assume that people first used strawberries in the mix to mitigate
DD> the tartness when sugar was in short supply. But now days they also
DD> add the sugar and get a product that is (to me) cloyingly sweet.
I'll DD> pass.

Make your own to the tartness level you prefer.


DD>       Title: Rhubarb Sauce
DD>  Categories: Five, Sauces, Fruits
DD>       Yield: 2 Pints

DD>   Good on I scream, panquakes, waffles, toast, biscuits,
DD>   peanut butter sarnies, whatever you care to add it to.

I'll have it on ice cream or biscuits, have basically given up pancakes
and waffles.

Is that magazine still going? I used to read it at my grandmother's
whenever we'd visit.
