Pineapple cowboy candy



Pineapple Cowboy Candy! (2 Pint Recipe)

It's the perfect mix of sweet and spicy to jazz up your dishes or serve over cream cheese. Safe to water bath can.

Ingredients:

• 3 cups of diced fresh pineapple

• 1 cup of thinly sliced jalapeño peppers

• 1 cup of apple cider vinegar

• 2 cups of granulated sugar

• 2 tablespoons of lemon juice

• 1 teaspoon of mustard seeds

• 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric powder

• 1 tablespoon of grated ginger

• 2 cloves of finely chopped garlic


Instructions:

1 . Get a big saucepan and toss in the apple cider vinegar, granulated sugar, lemon juice, mustard seeds, turmeric powder, grated ginger, and chopped garlic. Let it come to a nice boil, then turn down the heat and let it simmer until the sugar's all melted in.

2 . Now, toss in the diced pineapple and those jalapeño slices into the saucepan. Let everything simmer away over a medium flame until the pineapple's soft and the liquid's turned all syrupy. It'll take about 20 minutes or so.

3 . While that's cooking, get your jars and lids sterilized by dunking them in boiling water for at least 5 minutes.

4 . Once your pineapple mix is ready, carefully spoon it into your sterilized jars, making sure to leave a bit of space at the top. Wipe the jar rims clean, pop on the lids, and then give them a nice hot water bath for about 10 minutes.

5 . Once they're out of the bath, let the jars cool down completely. Before you stash them away in a cool, dark spot, double-check those lids.

Creamy Chicken Pot Pie (No peas or Carrots 😳)

Creamy Chicken Pot Pie *Makes 1-3 Pies* I love a good chicken pot pie. Traditionally they aren’t particularly creamy and they usually involve a bag of frozen peas & carrot mix. However, Julie doesn’t eat either so I subbed the two veggies she does eat - green beans and corn. You can use fresh or frozen veggies. I used the the steamer bags that came with garlic butter in the bag and I used fresh local corn cobs, boiled with kernels cut. They are crisp and sweet! I added cream and cream cheese to the filling to make it extra savory for my picky eaters! I usually make & bake 1 pie, and freeze the rest of the filling for another day in a freezer bag Ingredients: (1) Rotisserie chicken picked and chopped. Place in large bowl. (1) bag green bean steamer bag w seasoning - cooked and chopped (1) bag little potatoes steamer bag w seasoning cooked and chopped (1) Vidalia onion chopped (1) yellow bell pepper chopped (2) stalks celery chopped (2) cloves garlic chopped (1) Handful fresh pou...
