Kay, thank you for sharing! What a great warm and fuzzy to start the month of September with.
I know this is a bit early, but I have been counting down the hours until fall.
Hope everyone has a fun fall and very happy sales.
Just used my new canner for the 1st time! LOVE IT! So easy to use!
Made 13 half-pints of Yellow Squash Relish.. Recipe is almost identical to my Marinated (or Freezer) Slaw recipe but uses Yellow Squash instead of cabbage.
Also have some pineapple drying..almost done as I started it overnite. Did strawberries yesterday and will do some more jerky tomorrow. Then have a few apples to try..T bought a small basket at the mkt Sat but they were not real 'appley' tasting..so gonna sprinkle with some cinnamon & dry the rest.
So sweet on the Astors 
Gonna go watch the makeover video now

Recipe time! Now these I can hardly wait to try! I LOVE Baklava!
MINI BAKLAVA TARTLETS
1/2 to 3/4 cup honey **
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
2 cups finely chopped walnuts
3 packages (1.9 ounces each (15 per box)) frozen miniature phyllo tart shells (Most are pre-baked)
In a small bowl, mix the first five ingredients until blended; stir in walnuts.
Spoon 2 teaspoons mixture into each tart shell.
Refrigerate until serving. Yield: 45 tartlets
** Start with the 1/2 cup & gradually add more as needed. You don`t want the filling too thin, so it will depend on your honey texture how much you use
For the fudge and Jack Daniels lovers. It's suppose to be great for the holidays.
JACK DANIEL'S FUDGE - PERFECT for the holidays!!
5 cups sugar(2 pounds)
2 sticks unsalted butter
1 cup whole milk
1 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla
25 large marshmallows, ripped in half
11.5 oz Ghiradelli 60% cocoa bittersweet chocolate chips
2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
3/4 cup Jack Daniels, or a whiskey you really like. You will be able to really taste it!
1. Whisk whiskey with confectioner’s sugar, and set aside.
2. Foil and butter a 9 x 13 (or larger) baking pan.
3. Put sugar, butter, milk, and vanilla in a large pot with a heavy bottom. Stirring steadily until mixture boils, continue stirring while letting it boil for 3 minutes (time it, this is important). Remove from heat.
4. Add the marshmallows and chocolate, stirring until all of it is melted and blended into the sugar mix.
5. Give whiskey mixture a quick stir, and add it to the pot, stirring until fully incorporated.
6. Pour into a greased pan, and chill. Let mellow for a day before cutting.
That fudge sounds interesting!
I will have to pass on it for myself, but will pass along to stepson. I tried that stuff 1 time when I had a bad cold many years ago..it no sooner hit tummy till..well..you know the rest! LOL
