I was pretty excited today to go into the garden and find a bumper crop of banana peppers.  I love their sweet flavor fresh from the plant; but, this many wouldn’t keep long enough for me to eat all of them.  Fortunately, I have an old fashioned recipe that blends the fresh banana flavor with some sweet, some tart, and some spicy enhancements that are absolutely delicious on cheeseburgers, pizza, hotdogs, or even sandwiches.  After just 10 minutes in boiling hot water this fresh and delicious medley will last in my pantry for at least a year!  Less than an hour of work produced 9 pints of garden awesome.  Now, all I have to do is pop open a jar the next time I want to elevate ordinary burgers to gourmet heaven–which is something I value now that the crazy school/sports season is here.  Continue reading →

My husband actually stood over the plate and while munching away insisted to everyone how they should really try the queso dip instead. Fortunately, no one believed him and I got the “validation” that this was really enjoyed by all. Even my younger children that tend to steer clear of anything spicy loved them. I did wonder if my queso needed tweaking though… lol!
