Title: Mexican Tomato Sauce
Categories: Sauces, Canning
Yield: 7 quarts

2 1/2 lb -to…
3 lb Chile peppers
18 lb Tomatoes
3 c Chopped onions
1 tb Salt
1 tb Oregano
1/2 c Vinegar

Yield: About 7 quarts

Procedure: Caution: Wear rubber gloves while handling chilies or wash
hands thoroughly with soap and water before touching your face. Wash and
dry chilies. Slit each pepper on its side to allow steam to escape. Peel
peppers using one of the following methods:

Oven or broiler method: Place chilies in oven (400 degree F) or broiler
for 6-8 minutes until skins blister.

Range-top method: Cover hot burner, either gas or electric, with heavy
wire mesh. Place chilies on burner for several minutes until skins
blister. Allow peppers to cool. Place in a pan and cover with a damp
cloth. This will make peeling the peppers easier. After several minutes,
peel each pepper. Cool and slip off skins. Discard seeds and chop
peppers. Wash tomatoes and dip in boiling water for 30 to 60 seconds or
until skins split. Dip in cold water, slip off skins, and remove cores.
Coarsely chop tomatoes and combine chopped peppers and remaining
ingredients in large saucepan. Bring to a boil. Cover. Simmer 10
minutes. Fill jars, leaving 1-inch headspace. Adjust lids and process
according to the recommendations in Table 1 or Table 2 depending on the
method of canning used.

CINNAMON NUT BISCUITS – *P COOKING CLASS

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 12 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Breads

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
2 c All-purpose flour
1 tb Baking powder
1 t Salt
1/3 c Vegetable shortening
3/4 c Milk
3 tb Melted butter
1/2 c Firmly packed dark brown sug
3/4 ts Cinnamon
1/2 c Chopped pecans

PREHEAT THE OVEN TO 450F. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a
large mixing bowl. Cut in the vegetable shortening using a pastry blender
or two knives until the mixture has the consistency of coarse crumbs. Add
the milk, adding more milk if necessary so the dough is pliable but is
still wet. Turn the dough onto a heavily floured surface, and knead it
lightly (8 to 10 times). Do not overwork the dough. Roll the dough into a
rectangle 1/3-inch thick. Mix the melted butter with the brown sugar,
cinnamon and nuts. Press the mixture into one half of the dough, then fold
the dough over to encase the filling, pressing it lightly to adhere. Cut
out biscuits with a 2-inch round cutter (the diameter of a juice can),
dipping the cutter in flour between cutting each biscuit so they do not
stick. Place the biscuits on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake in the
center of the oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve
immediately, or bake up to 2 hours in advance and reheat for 5 minutes in a
300F oven. Makes 12 to 14. These biscuits are delicious served warm with
sweet butter or apple butter.

Orange Habanero salsa

Recipe By : Katrine Kirk via the Chile-heads
Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Chile-heads Salsa

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
1 habanero (to have medium heat – add more
if you like)
2 carrots
3 cloves garlic
1/4 cup water
2 tbsp. chopped white onion
1 tsp. salt
3 tbsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/4 cup ginger pickle juice (or substitute fresh — 1 tsp.
sugar
ginger and a little water)
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 orange zestted

I steamed the carrots and garlic with water until soft in the microwave.
(You could use them raw for a sharper flavour and crunchier texture.) Put
everything in the blender and pureed till smooth. Adjust flavours. (More
lemon or salt might be good.)
It was delicious as a thick condiment with my pasta with pesto, and also a
great topping on a cold potato salad today. The sauce thickened overnight in
the refrigerator, and I suspect it will keep for about a week.
It’s such a beautiful, bright orange colour!

In a bowl, toss together the greens, beans and rice. Cover and chill
in the refrigerator at least 30 minutes. In a blender, combine the
oil, vinegar, chives, garlic, pepper, and salt. Blend at high speed
