Now to learn how to use it. I remember someone telling me that the flavor
gradually fades if canned. Another thing I am not good at is using new and
different spices. I'm basically a sweet/sour/hot/salt/pepper guy. I've
3/8" diced 7 lbs (net) fresh rhubarb from my visit last week to
Minne-so-tah, 1 lb 6 oz green bells, 1 lb 10 oz sweet Vidalia onions, 7 oz
orange manzanos from Beth in TX and pureed 2 lbs strawberries. Still to do
is celery. Expect will take aprox 2 cups cider vinegar for proper acidity
ratio so can water bath can. Going to need some sugar and salt and? Always
open to suggestions from you foodies on what to put in my salsas.
