Plum Jam

Hi Betty, do you have a recipe for plum jam? --Gabrielle
Hi Gabrielle, I don’t happen to have a plum jam, but I do have a recipe for Tangy Plum Conserve, which is like a jam, but with a lot more going on, including raisins, oranges, and walnuts.  You also might want to head over to the National Center for Food Preservation; they have wonderful recipes and step-by-step instructions for making jams and jellies, including three recipes for plum jam.

    How Do You Make a Potato Bake?

    I need to make a potato bake and have never made one before. I think I can make it with cream, cheese, bacon, and thinly sliced potatoes, but not sure how to assemble or if I cook the potatoes before baking. Please help!

    Freezing Leftovers

    I have been trying to find a list/table of what and how long you can freeze leftovers such as meatloaf, lasagna, enchiladas in the freezer. I live alone and I keep throw away leftovers. I enjoy leftovers just find, however after the second time they are just too much. I would like to freeze some after I cook them. Can you provide me any guidelines?
