{A Tribute to Another Great Recipe....Raz-Pepper Preserves}

While doing my canning this year I came across an amazing recipe for Raz-Pepper Preserves and decided to give it a try. I made a double batch, took a jar to a family party and it was a huge hit! We all loved it so much that the very next day I made another double batch. This recipe comes from the blog "Gather Round Our Table" . It is a great blog and this lady can really cook. I have yet to find something that I didn't completely love. Thanks Teresa! Well here's the recipe for your enjoyment, but don't forget to visit Teresa's blog for more great recipe finds.

Raz-Pepper Preserves

1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries (I always use fresh)
1/2 cup chopped red pepper
1/4 cup chopped jalapeno (for mild, remove the seeds, for hot, leave some of the seeds in)
3 cups sugar
3/4 cup white vinegar
1 (3 oz.) pkg. liquid pectin

In a saucepan, combine all ingredients except pectin. Bring to a boil. Boil 3 minutes, then cool for 5 minutes. Stir in liquid pectin. Pour in jars and seal.

If you like spicy and sweet, you'll love this recipe!

{A Tribute to Some Great Recipes...Creamed Corn}

I have found some really outstanding recipes on food blogs that I visit regularly. With that being said, I thought that I would start something new by honoring those recipes. I hope that the authors of these recipe blogs will find this flattering and not be bugged by the fact that I am essentially stealing their recipes to post here.

The first recipe, Creamed Corn is one that I have come to love, love, love. My entire family loves it too! You can find this recipe on "Kearnzie Cooks" along with many other great recipes.

1 1/2 cubes Cream Cheese
1 C Whipping Cream (can use milk)
2 tsp Sugar
1 tsp Salt

Give this recipe a try. I highly recommend it.
