> We are looking for a receipe for High Bush Cranberry Jelly.

Hello Galen,
Highbush cranberries are a completely different fruit from the lowbush or
commercial cranberry. Highbush cranberries grow on a shrub with pointed
leaves, but commercial cranberries grow on a vine with oval leaves.
Highbush cranberries have a single seed, which should be removed. Highbush
cranberry patches have an aroma similar to stinky socks The seeded pulp of
the highbush cranberry can be substituted for the pulp of the regular
cranberry in any recipe that calls for cranberries.
See below for a recipe.
Phaed
Highbush Cranberry Jelly
4 cups highbush cranberries
6 cups water
Additional water (as needed)
7 cups sugar
1/2 tsp. margarine or butter
1 pouch liquid pectin (Certo)
Bring the berries and water to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes. Crush the
berries or put through a food mill. Strain the juice in a cheesecloth-lined
sieve. Add any additional water if need to bring the juice up to 5 cups.
Bring the juice and sugar up to a boil. Add the margarine, then the liquid
pectin. Bring back to a boil, stirring constantly boil hard for 1 minute.
Remove from heat. Skim foam from surface and pour into sterile pint jars and
seal. Process in boiling water bath for 5 minutes.
Yield: 8 cups

Just thought I'd say that there are two types of jelly that can be made from
these berries, we make both, the stinky is made from ripe berries and in my
family is called Toe Jam Jelly, its delicious on toast. The other type is just
cranberry jelly and is made before the berries get soft and ripe, they may be
bicoloured and still hard sort of pink with yellow or even slightly greenish
yellow these make a much less stinky jam or jelly and you simply do exactly the
same as the ripe berries when making them. I might add, that instead of certo
and tons of sugar that the maker looks for a product called Pamona's Pectin which
I get at my local health food store, its imported from the maker in the USA,you
use much less sugar and still can control the set of the jelly. I like jams and
jellies made with this product as I am diabetic, and can use as little as one quarter
the sugar called for in a regular recipe.

that have them i do not want the ones stuffed with cheese and hot ham i think asti
puts them out thank you phaedrus if you can help me will be looking forward to your
e-mail recipe thanks again
Irene
P.S i think victorias also jars them thanks again
Hello Irene,
The below recipe is the only one that I can find using bread crumbs to stuff the peppers.
It does not tell you how to pack the peppers in oil. I have searched for this recipe three
times in the past three months, so the below recipe is the only one that's available.
Home canning peppers in pure oil is dangerous. The microbes that cause botulism food poisoning
thrive in such an environment. Pure oil is not acidic enough to retard their growth.
Phaed
Italian Hot Stuffed Cherry Peppers
1 C. bread seasoned bread crumbs
1 C. olive oil
1 medium size can of pitted black
olives drained
1 medium size jar or can green olives
(no pimentos), drained
1/2 tin of anchovies
1 gallon jar hot cherry peppers
Take off the tops of the peppers, seed and rinse; set aside. In a blender mix the rest
of the ingredients until well blended. Stuff seeded peppers.

Hi Judy,
See below for three recipes.
Phaed
Peach Upside Down Cake
4 large peaches, peeled, pitted and sliced
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup maraschino cherries, chopped
1/2 cup pecans, chopped
Pour melted butter into a 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking pan. Sprinkle brown sugar evenly over.
Arrange peach slices in a large pinwheel. Sprinkle cherries and nuts over in an even layer.
Cake
1 18-ounce yellow cake mix
1 3-ounce package vanilla instant pudding and pie filling
4 medium eggs
1 cup water
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Preheat oven to 350-degrees. Combine cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, water, oil, vanilla and cinnamon
in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer for 4 minutes on medium speed. Spread batter in pan
over peaches. Bake 40 to 45minutes until done or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
Wait two minutes and turn pan upsidedown on cake plate.
Yield: 10 servings.
------------------------------------------
Peach Upside Down Cake
Ingredients:
5 to 6 large, ripe freestone peaches
2/3 cup white sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 cup low fat buttermilk
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Score the stem end of
each peach and place the peaches in the boiling water. Boil for about 1 minute, or until the skins
soften. Transfer to a bowl of cold water to cool, then peel, halve and pit the peaches.
In a 9-inch cast-iron skillet, combine 1/3 cup of the sugar with 1 tablespoon of the butter. Cook
over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the sugar begins to melt. Add the peaches to the
skillet, cut-side up, in one layer (the fruit should fit tightly). Remove the pan from the heat
and set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt; set aside. In
a large bowl, with an electric mixer at medium speed, beat the remaining 1/3 cup sugar and 1 tablespoon
butter with the oil until combined. Add the egg, beating until smooth, then beat in the vanilla and
almond extract. With the mixer at low speed, add the buttermilk and the reserved flour mixture, beating
until just incorporated. Spoon the batter evenly over the peaches in the skillet, place the skillet in
the oven and bake, uncovered, at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C), for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a cake
tester inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Transfer the skillet to a wire rack to cool for 3 to 4 minutes. Loosen the edges of the cake with a knife.
Invert the cake onto a serving plate. If any of the peaches stick to the skillet, remove them with a knife
and replace them on the cake.

Can you help me find out what company manufactor's ALBA 77. It is a nutrional drink/breakfast
drink that all grocery stores use to carry however I can no longer find it. Thought I could
get the main company to see if it is still produced.
Thanks
Valerie
Hi Valerie,
Alba also makes powdered milk.
I had to track this one through a tangled maze of corporate mergers and stock acquisitions. Until 1997, Alba was owned by Heinz (the ketchup people).
In 1997, Alba was bought by the Hain Food Group, makers of natural foods and Celestial Seasonings teas. Then, in 1999, Heinz purchased a major share of Hain Foods.
Anyhow, Hain Foods is who you want to contact. Alba 77 shakes are still an active product, as far as I can tell. You can buy them online here:

Hain Foods has a website at:
