Sweet & Sour Sauce (mandarin sauce) CANNING RECIPE

I canned a ton of these in 2008 and have enjoyed them. It's great over rice. This recipe tastes almost exactly like the "mandarin sauce" recipe in here, but this is a little simpler.

Ingredients:
~ 1 can crushed pineapple
~ 2 c. dark vinegar
~ 1 large onion, diced
~ 4 c. cut and peeled tomatoes
~ 6 c. sugar
~ 2 large green peppers, diced

Directions:
Mix together, boil 10 min. Pour into pints, wipe off rim of jars, cover with lids and tightly screw rings on. Boil in water bath for 45 min. Remove from water bath, allow to cool completely before moving (usually 24 hours). Remove rims and store.

Freezer Corn

This is very good. We put filled quart size freezer bags about 1/3 full (enough for about 2 people) and it was a perfect amount.


Ingredients:
~ 8 cups corn
~ 2 T sugar
~ 2 tsp salt
~ 1/2 cube butter
~ 1/2 - 3/4 c. water

Directions:
Cook until butter melts & juice simmers, 2-3 minutes. Put in bags. Seal bags and immediately throw into ice water. (We plugged the kitchen sink and filled full of ice and water). Remove from ice water when cooled and let dry. Freeze.
