Cooking from Scratch

In San Antonio, Tex-Mex chile sauces always start with with a ancho chile puree. But the best chile sauces always combine at least two types of chiles for a well-rounded flavor. This chile puree is a great base for chili-con-carne and that wonderfully rich enchilada sauce that you can make at home from scratch. Makes about 4 cups.

A special meal once a week or
month is a great idea to build a strong family. Studies show that families that
regularly eat together are more stable. Last week, I wrote about our family’s
Sunday feast. This week, I want to show
you how you can start your own family tradition, and how the kids can help.

Canning and Preserving Food

This is my version of pickled en escabeche Jalapenos, in that most recipes call for dry roasting the peppers till their skins start to blister and then are pickled whole. This makes 3-4 pint jars worth depending on the size of the peppers and whether you slice them for rings. If you slice the Jalapenos, leave out the roasting part. You can easily use half-pints in one batch (for smaller gift jars), or double the recipe to run a full canner load of pints. Just remember the 3 cups of 5% vinegar per pound of peppers ratio.

This is a good tasting Sweet pickle relish. If you have too much left over, you can put in a covered bowl in the refrigerator and use with-in two weeks. I doubt it will last that long. At least at my house it doesn't. This recipe makes 7 half-pints, which is a perfect water bath canner load. Once you make this Sweet pickle relish, then you are set to make Hot dog pickle relish. This pickle dish is a perfect example of uncooked raw packed preserving.
