Kaylin, I want to can my own spaghetti sauce this year because I planted tomato plants and will have lots of tomatoes. Is there a tried and true recipe for doing this? I am hoping for something a lot like Ragu.  Thanks. Connie             My grandmother used to serve us canned raspberries over a kind of white cake that was a little buttery and heavier than other cakes.  I am freezing raspberries from my neighbor's garden (I am garden-sitting) and would like to try doing this, but don't know what kind of cake to make.  Ideas anyone? Pam      Pickles! Can you believe my son wants me to make him pickles? His date's mother had some one night when he visited their house, and he is certain I can do this. Help! I think they were dill, but he said they were a little sweet too.  What would this be? Help! Karen

For Kathi who was given a couple pounds of melted Hershey's chocolate. You can throw it in your refrig and it will keep for a long time. If you can break it up into chunks, use the chunks in any cookie or bar recipe to replace chocolate chips. Use it in any recipe that calls for melted chocolate or melted chocolate chips, like in fudge. Cindy                          moonshadow4@cox.net Try making some Oreo Truffles with your Hershey's chocolate! 1 pack of Oreo cookies finely crumbled 1 pk. 8 oz cream cheese Mix these 2 ingredients together and roll into 3/4 " Dip in melted chocolate and let cool!
