Agree that you can always find the basic recipes at NCHFP or in the Ball Books. If you don't have the books you really need to and NCHFP's site should be bookmarked. Enchilada sauce means very different things to many people but it basically a spiced green or red tomato sauce. NCHFP has recipes for at least 8 different tomato sauces. Or you can always can plain tomato sauce and quickly spice it up at prep time. That way you avoid the problems with spices intensifying or going bland in the jars. Dave

Bulk foods has the tomato powder in many amounts, as well as the calcium chloride, citric, dried soup greens, and so many old timey candies, granolas, dried fruits.. etc... I love their sugarless turtles, caramel, pecans, and chocolate. All kinds of stuff there, and the tomato power is free flowing. I keep it in the fridge, as it can darken a bit if left out a long time. Also get a lot of other stuff like starch, powdered eggs and whites and all sorts of goodies. Where else are youb going to find Japanese style peanuts. These are coated with a sslightly sweet/salty soy, and are hard to stop eating. Remember Mary Janes and maple nuts, Kits, rock candy, 2 1/4 inch jaw breakers! You wil go nuts! (pardon the pun) Your right Zabby.. For dried garlic and onion in tomato sauces I tried a dried, sliced, roasted garlic from somewhere, but it was unpleasant tasting . I use the dried minced and granulated stuff , even sweet pepper flakes and because its dry it soaks up the tomato liquids as well as absorbing the necessary acid. Has never failed me yet.. Garlic, is perfectly safe to can by itself is its pickled in a vinegar salt brine. Like eating peanuts, you just can stop ourself., I used to make quart jars for a friend who would go through a jar in a couple of weeks, and used it in almost everything. Placs like Costco and BJ's used to carry the granulated onions and garlic and smome minced. But both seem to now only offer powders (which clump!) and chopped. Here's my favorite source for these now. Used to also get stuff from the Ingredient Store for many years, but the original owner has recently passed away, just 2 weeks after we had a nice converastion about his efforts in the food industry for 50 years. His kids are running the business for now, but are just too busy to effectivly run it with as many selections of items. Its still the ONLY place I can find the modified food starch called FREEZER FLOW, which is even more stable once cooked and frozen and refrozen if needed. Freezer Flow's nicest property is it will still hold up better to high acid foods and freezing that tend to break down a little in Clear Gel. The same people make FAB marinades, for beef, pork and poultry. These mixes are added to water and injected or marinated. Some of the secret recipes of BBQ people use it. Then there is the '11 herbs and spices', which is about as close to KFC as you can get. Unless the Prudhomme stuff is cheap at a local Christmass tree shop, I just use what I like. Big jars of italian seasoning, dried peppers and onion, basil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, oregano, savory and a few others. Goes well with almost any italian things, inlcuding adding to bread dough, and pizza doughs. Nothing like crusty bread for dipping in an olive oil and balsamic vinegar with herbs added.. Don't get me started!! Here is a link that might be useful: Bulk foods

The corn sweetner, tomatoes, soy sauce, anchovies, tamarind and "spice extract" , which could be anything, I suspect give it a similar taste that you would get from the addition of worchestershire sauce. The label on a bottle of Lee and Perrins lists similar ingredients. Sorry Ginger, I don't know what you mean by "soooo?" I thought it was interesting that the ingredients listed on the label were similar to the ingredients in castup and Worchestershire. Linda C
