Check out this really yummy recipe for no-sugar freezer jam.  This fall I made a batch of raspberry jam and apricot jam using this recipe.  So delicious and good for you too!

My Favorite Ranch Dressing

My Favorite Ranch Dressing

1 c. plain yogurt
1 c. mayonaise (the real stuff)
1 t. sea salt
1 t. dried onion
1 t. parsley flakes
1 t. thyme
1 t. garlic
1 t. dill
1 t. basil
1 t. Dijon mustard
3 green onions (tops and all)

Blend all together in the Blendtec twister jar.  Make ahead as the flavor is better the next day.  It can be stored in the refrigerator for 3-5 days. 

Garden Fresh Salsa

 
Garden Fresh Salsa

10-12 roma tomatoes
1/2 onion (quartered)
1 T. garlic
1/4 bunch cilantro
1 jalapeno pepper (seeds, stem, ribs removed)
1 T. lime juice
1 t. salt
1 t. Montreal Chicken Seasoning
(or a dash of coarse black pepper, parsley, red pepper, paprika, and a strip of green pepper and orange peel)

Put half of the tomatoes in Blendtec 4-sided jar.  Add the rest of the ingredients and top with the remaining tomatoes.  Pulse 5-6 times to desired thickness.  Pour into jar with tight fitting lid.  It will have a restaurant type consistency.  Refrigerate overnight.

Note:  If you would like a thicker salsa, drain out the liquid with kitchen seive the next morning.  Serve, refrigerate for 3-5 days, or freeze for later. 

Yield:  2 cups
