Maggie, I am so glad that everything got there in good shape. Yes I did make the blanket. Hayden has one that is his lovie, the satin side and trim plus the plush side are things babies just love to rub and chew on. We have to take one with us everywhere. The ladybug costume was Rhiannon's first Halloween costume and she has been bugging me to put it on Hayden, I told her I knew a little girl named Grace that would love it. She told me that I should send it to Grace and hopes she likes it. The package was kinda hodge podge of stuff for all the family. We had fun putting it together and hope that everything works for you. This was my first surcie, and I have a feeling that more will be coming, I did send another one that day so we will see if it got there in one piece. I have the starts of another surcie in the works, so look out CFer's you never know what you will get in the mail lol. Stacie

Thank you for answering my question about the surcie. I tried to thank you before this but I forgot where I posted it. I went all through the cooking forum and the recipe one and didn't see it. I thought I would find it there because I am making my own bread now and was getting good advice pertaining to that on those forums. I feel when someone is kind enough to answer a question for you, you should convey your thanks as soon as possible. Again thank you for being so kind. Vique. John3:16

JALEPENO PEPPER JELLY 1/2 c. fresh jalapeño peppers, stemmed and seeded, leave seeds in if you want it hotter. 1 lg. green bell pepper, stemmed, seeded and cut up 3/4 c. apple cider vinegar 3 1/2 c. granulated sugar 1 (3oz.) pkg. liquid pectin Put peppers food processor and pulse until coarsely ground; don't make them soupy. Stir in vinegar. Put in large saucepan. Add sugar and bring to a boil, boil for 5 min. stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Let cool for 2 min. Mix in pectin. Pour into jars and seal in water bath 10 mins. Makes about 6 half pint jars You may add a drop or two of green food coloring for a greener product. Linda
