Salad Dressing

You probably know this but if not try it. This is simple put it all in your food processor or blender or shake it up by hand.

You need the sour (lemon) the sweet (honey) and the spices. Only make enough for what you want to use now. Otherwise, it doesn't taste as good. And only pour it on your salad when you are serving or the salad will wilt and get soggy.


Lemon.......a real one juiced. The lemon in the bottle isn't as good. You could use lime if you want or even try an orange.

A bit Olive oil
1/4 onion chopped
1 T Honey mustard
1 T Honey
1 t Basil
1 t Oregano
1 t Parsley
Salt and Pepper

You don't really have to measure just sprinkle all the ingredients together. Mix it all up. Don't forget to taste it before you use it. If you like other spices try them too. I like use tarragon also.

Put on your salad.

oh so good.

Red Pepper Jelly

1 cup Green Peppers chopped
1 ½ cups Red Peppers Chopped
1 cup Hot Peppers chopped (skinny red ones) - I leave out the hot peppers
2/3 cups white vinegar
2/3 cups lemon juice
5 cups white sugar
1 bottle or 2 pkgs. Certo

Use your food processor to chop.
Mix first 6 ingredients. Bring to a boil. Leave set for 15 minutes. Add Certo and bring to a rapid boil for 2 minutes. Let stand for 15 minutes than bottle. I have been told the liquid Certo is more successful.
Honestly, this needs to be cooked longer to thicken it up.
Chill in fridge before serving.
Serve on crackers with cream cheese and a dab of the jelly on top.
If you are on a diet pass on this stuff!
