In my search for the perfect sourdough bread I found this amazing recipe for fluffy sourdough biscuits. This is a great recipe for people who are gluten intolerant like my husband seems to be. The reason is that you really don't work the dough much at all and the gluten doesn't have a chance to develop.
I am also exploring some no knead bread recipes that he might be able to eat. But for now I would like to share this great recipe I discovered with you because fresh hot jelly biscuits just can't be beat in the comfort food department!
I have tested it out now making 4 batches ..read more

Hey!
Sorry I missed the whole month of March without checking in here... I have a great excuse if you want to hear it.
I got sidetracked from my jelly making by a hunt for the perfect sourdough bread recipe... because without bread you have no need for jelly or jam.
So I am closing in on that perfect bread and should be back to the jelly making real soon!
I am also still adding new designs to my store for those of you who are looking for the perfect canning label, or maybe you need a new apron or a recipe binder? Visit my store HERE

Well last year about this time, I posted a red hot valentines jelly recipe for you sweethearts out there. This year I wanted to be different and I found this unusual strawberry jam recipe that features the hot sweet flavor combination of strawberries and chipotle chiles.
I bet you could substitute your favorite hot pepper and get similar results but this one calls for the adobo chipotles. Serve your sweetie breakfast in bed with this hot sweet treat on their favorite bread for a great start to a Valentines day to remember. Make it now and be ready!

As if we needed an excuse to eat jelly, January has offered up the perfect reason! Yep, I just found out that January is Wheat Bread Month, all month! So you know what to do!
Break out the jars of summer goodness you canned and toast up some wheat bread! Slather that puppy with butter and your favorite flavor of jam or jelly and celebrate the Wheat Bread!
The best part about this news is that each day in January is an excuse to have a new flavor! lol...
What's that you say? you don't have any jelly canned up?
Well here is your home remedy! An ea ..read more

December is always a super busy time for me being married to a successful hunter in deer season, but I didn't want to let the month go by without a post.
I process all the meat myself whether grinding or canning and that leaves precious little time for jelly making. So no jelly recipe this time, only a couple of photos of my big canning project that has become a Christmas tradition.
Last week I canned deer chili and today I canned venison stew. It is a snowy day here in Oklahoma so actually perfect weather for canning day!
Anyway I want to wish you all a Merry Ch ..read more

I know this is pumpkin spice and cranberry season, but since you'll probably be drinking pumpkin spice coffee, tea and cocoa and eating pumpkin pie, cranberry flavored ice cream, pumpkin cake and cranberry muffins... do you really want pumpkin jam or cranberry jelly on your toast or biscuits too? Yeah, me either!
What I was thinking was is that now would be a great time to can up small jars of preserves to give as gifts for Christmas this year. So I searched out this Christmas Marmalade recipe that really sounds colorful and tasty. It calls for candied cherries (maraschinos ..read more

With the long history of preserving food in jars, it was inevitable that many of the methods and practices would change over the years as new knowledge came to light and better supplies became available. But, with the trend of returning to the old ways that many homesteaders and preppers have adopted, unfortunately some of the gains in safety made in recent times have been rolled back.
I don't want you to get me wrong. I am all for getting back to the lost ways of the past when life was simpler and people were more self reliant. But, when it comes to canning safety and avoiding food born ..read more
