Grape Jelly
How to make a grape jam or preserve? How do you separate seeds and pulp?
--Eugenia
Hi Eugenia,
You’re in luck, because I have just the recipe you need: Grape Jelly. It’s a fairly standard recipe for canning, but does require you to sterilize 1/2-pint jars. So if you haven’t canned before you might want to head over to the Jams and Jellies section of the National Center for Food Preservation; they have a lot of great advice, tips and step-by-step instructions for preserving jams and jellies. (BTW, my best suggestion for separating out the seeds and pulp is to strain the grape mixture in a colander or sieve lined with cheesecloth, pressing down firmly with a large spoon to get out as much juice as possible.)

QuestionI had the recipe card for Chicken & Dressing Bake and also for Ham Puffs. But my 12-year-old daughter, who now does a lot of baking thanks to Grandma's recipes, has misplaced them. Can you please share the recipes? The puff recipe was one where after you bake pastry puffs, you stuff them with tuna or chicken or cheese filling. My daughter makes them for church and family gatherings and gets rave reviews. --CarolMarch 2012

QuestionMy sister was born in the early 1950's, she said my mother used to make a white "chocolate chip bar." The bars were white but had real chocolate chips in them. I've been trying to find a recipe like this. My mother didn't have a written recipe for it, but knew what she was talking about, she asked me if I recalled them and I didn't. I was wondering if you have a recipe and where I could find it.
