ccaggiano, the amount of sugar used in fruit jams is not a safety issue. Traditional pectin needs a certain ratio of pectin/sugar/fruit to jell. An all fruit spread with no sugar at all is still safe to can, the issue is in whether or not it will jell. It has been noted here that "Pomona will jell water", so the sugar ratio isn't an issue. Cut it as low as you like until you are happy with the taste, it'll still be safe. I will note, however, that low sugar/no sugar spreads do not store as well or as long after opening and I've found that no-sugar spreads lose color. This picture shows this year's strawberry jam. My long cooked and low sugar jam is on the right, the "no sugar" spread with Equal is on the left. Annie

Thanks for the tps rachelellen! Brenda, what's the difference between spring and summer rolls? SM, Freeze and Cook? I don't see what would be cooked. Here is one of the recipes I am thinking of. No cooking involved other than cooking the vermicelli. Vietnamese Fresh Spring Rolls from allrecipes.com 2 ounces rice vermicelli 8 rice wrappers (8.5 inch diameter) 8 large cooked shrimp - peeled, deveined and cut in half 1 1/3 tablespoons chopped fresh Thai basil 3 tablespoons chopped fresh mint leaves 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro 2 leaves lettuce, chopped 4 teaspoons fish sauce 1/4 cup water 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice 1 clove garlic, minced 2 tablespoons white sugar 1/2 teaspoon garlic chili sauce 3 tablespoons hoisin sauce 1 teaspoon finely chopped peanuts Bring a medium saucepan of water to boil. Boil rice vermicelli 3 to 5 minutes, or until al dente, and drain. Fill a large bowl with warm water. Dip one wrapper into the hot water for 1 second to soften. Lay wrapper flat. In a row across the center, place 2 shrimp halves, a handful of vermicelli, basil, mint, cilantro and lettuce, leaving about 2 inches uncovered on each side. Fold uncovered sides inward, then tightly roll the wrapper, beginning at the end with the lettuce. Repeat with remaining ingredients. In a small bowl, mix the fish sauce, water, lime juice, garlic, sugar and chili sauce. In another small bowl, mix the hoisin sauce and peanuts. Serve rolled spring rolls with the fish sauce and hoisin sauce mixtures. Linda

I've never sprung for a Honey Baked ham, although I'm told they're good. The closest available is 60 miles or so away, but I got on their website and it looks like they are all "bone-in" although you can also buy halves. If they have a bone, you'll definitely need two. Here deli ham is mostly what LindaC described, salty and watery pieces of some kind of smoky flavored stuff. I have a sneaking suspicion, though, that if I went to Grand Rapids or Ann Arbor and to a higher end grocery, I'd probably get much better stuff. Grandma used to bake a ham with root beer. We thought it was a great treat, although truthfully, it didn't taste like root beer at all, it still just tasted like ham. I'm guessing that the soft drinks mostly add the sweet note to the salty ham, and not the flavor of the soft drink itself. Annie
