Peach Salsa

I have been waiting all year long for peaches to come into season so I could make this salsa!  We love it.  When you first take a bite you taste the sweet peaches, but it is quickly followed up by the spiciness of the peppers.  As a side note, we picked these peaches off my parent's trees, which makes them that much sweeter. 

Try eating this salsa with Hint of Lime Tostitos! So good!

I've written this with canning instructions since that's what I usually do, but it's not necessary.

modified from allrecipes.com

*makes about 3 pints

Ingredients:


4 cups fresh peaches - peeled, pitted and chopped
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
4 jalapeno peppers, minced
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/4 cup distilled white vinegar
Zest and Juice of 1 large lime
1/2  package light fruit pectin crystals
3 cups white sugar


canning jars and lids or a large container


Directions


Sterilize jars and lids. I use my dishwasher for this by running a small load and hitting the sterilize setting.  Then I just keep the dishwasher door closed till I'm ready for the jars so they'll be hot.


In a large saucepan, combine peaches, onion, pepper, cilantro, garlic, cumin, vinegar, lime juice and zest, pectin and sugar.  Bring to a boil.   Reduce heat and let simmer for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and carefully pour into hot jars leaving 1/4 inch air space.  Wipe tops of jars and place lids and rings onto them.
Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.


OR, just let the salsa cool, add it to your container of choice and refrigerate till ready to use.

Not Yo Mama's Banana Pudding (Re-post with a picture )

Does this dessert sound familiar to you?  I originally posted it last Summer, but didn't have a picture at the time.  I'm excited to be able to post this picture now so you can see how yummy it looks!  I first had this pudding at a BBQ last Summer.  One bite and I was hooked.  This fabulous pudding sits on top of a layer of bananas and is sandwiched between two delicious cookies. Does it get any better than that?  Banana pudding didn't used to be something I craved, but it definitely is now.  It is Heavenly!  Also, it's very easy to make.  So try it out sometime.  I bet you'll become a banana pudding fan too.

Royal Icing for Sugar Cookies

While I love my Scrumptious Sugar Cookie frosting , Royal Icing is the way to go for decorated cookies that harden enough to stack and package. It definitely takes more time and patience, but the end result is so satisfying! You can make such fun cookies without having to worry about the frosting coming off.  Royal Icing can get super hard, and while this is perfect for building Gingerbread Houses, it’s not so great when you want to actually eat the cookie. Not to worry though- adding in a little corn syrup helps the icing dry firm without being overly hard.  I also like to add in my favorite butter vanilla emulsion to make the icing extra yummy, cause at the end of the day it’s not enough to just look pretty!  There are a few different ways to make Royal Icing. My favorite method is using Meringue Powder. If you can’t find this or don’t want to buy it, you can use egg whites instead. Or, if you’re in a pinch you can make some with just powdered sugar and water. You can find some recip

Brown Butter Caramel Snickerdoodles

If you try one new cookie recipe this Fall, let it be this one!! I'm not kidding when I say that this is  one of the best cookies I've ever made.  They've already received rave reviews and comments such as, "Amazing!", and "Incredible!"  These are not your average snickerdoodle, not that I have anything against the traditional ones, they are made with browned butter and extra brown sugar for a rich caramel taste.  But wait, it also has a caramel center! And of course that classic chewy texture with a cinnamon/sugar coating.  I could eat these every single day. They are SO GOOD you guys!
