Grandma always stored hers in the cellar or the cupboard. I don’t know the differences but one style would have thick paraffin wax on top for a seal and the other used regular canning lids that were sucked tight.

It’s not regular ’ cooked ’ jam. You can keep the jar your using in the fridge, but keep the rest in the freezer.

You could do a cooked version of freezer jam. If there was a lack of electricity that would be my only option. Just bought another flat of strawberries, been giving away some of this batch.

Stan, it’s all about the strawberries. This 3/4 flat yields 8 to 9 cups crushed berries. Beautiful when their cleaned. I’m sure you have access to some good berries. Just follow the recipe I posted earlier, can’t go wrong.

Here’s a little experiment. I wanted to have a healthy breakfast/lunch/snack so I stuffed extra long sweet peppers with my hot tuna mix ( actually pink salmon ).
Now, you could use mini sweet peppers or jalpeno’s or whatever smaller pepper would be a good size for your taste. The filling is your choice as well. My hot tuna just uses
-1 large can alaska pink salmon or 2 cans tuna in olive oil
-1 habanero and 1 to 2 jalapeno’s chopped whole, de-stemmed
-1/2 onion
-3 or 4 crushed garlic cloves
-1 cup finely grated white cheddar or other cheese
-splash olive oil
-2 tablespoon sweet relish
-salt and pepper or a spice blend
-mayonase, quantity is up to you
-you can add diced sweet pepper or celery for a nice crunch; sesame oil can kick it up a bit to as well as cilantro.

A recipe from #cooking with claudy
Whole baked crispy juicy fish ( marinated, I used tilapia ).
The fish has deep cuts so that the marinade really penetrates, baked on a rack over green beens so that no juices are lost.

You can use a firm fillet if you want of whatever fish, or cut off the head. It’s just not as much fun. Also there is a lot of good meat on the head. This is definately finger food, and the way much of the world eats fish.

Good way to cook bony fish.

It makes you appreciate what your eating. Your not just shovelling something in your mouth, you have to de-construct the fish, and appreciate that it was swimming and alive at one time. It also takes longer so that one tends to eat less. The marinade did create a great sauce that worked with the green beens.
