Who remembers "Canny Camp" ?

last year

Before CF I hung out on another cooking site and met up with a few members. The one closest to me (geographically) passed the other day and we were waxing nostalgic on a facebook group created after the chat shut down. ANYway....I was telling them about flying to Michigan for a canning camp and how we made a chutney in honor of a lost member and someone asked for the recipe.

It was quite a walk down memory lane searching for that recipe. A lot of swap posts came up, but no Janet's a Peach Chutney. I seem to have lost that and all my pictures from that trip, but it was certainly memorable and I am hoping you are all well!

Thanks, Lars. That's my regular old peach chutney. Still looking for the one we created 13 years later, lol. And the camp was 19 years ago...hard to believe.

Too bad you couldn't make it. It was a good time.

I remember Canny Camp, but I was unable to go to Michigan at that time, although I did visit Annie in 2019, the summer before the pandemic. I especially remember how much Jessy loved Canny Camp, and afterwards we had a Phyllo gathering in L.A. with Oly giving lessons on how to use Phyllo.

I've never made any chutneys, and so I cannot help you with that. You posted a Peach Chutney on this thread, however, and on this one.

For Those Who Missed Canny Camp

Those who couldn't make Canny Camp might consider attending the Appalachian Heirloom Seed Conservancy's annual Fall Conference, October 6-8. In addition to the seed swaps, formal presentations, and ever popular Saturday night cook-out, there will be a presentation on Preserving the Harvest. No, this won't be a hands-on workshop, like Canny Camp. But I'm sure there will be lots of insights to be gained, and recipes learned. Plus all the other great activities the AHSC conferences are known for. For complete details, contact AHSC at KentuckySeeds@hotmail.com

Who remembers OXYDOL original powder?

I liked the old Oxydol with green bleaching crystals a lot but can't get it anymore and more currently have used the new Oxydol with the Biz freshener in it and works good. But it doesn't have any bleach in it anymore. So moving on! Did a study on soap and soap detergents and let’s face it as I found out soap is soap no matter what brand you use it's the same thing and soap, and not any difference really. Not one brand detergent is any better than any another brand as far as cleaning goes is what the research showed. They all clean the same and do the same thing, period. The old Blue Cheer can’t get anymore with bluing in it is said to enhance whites by bluing it but that it didn’t clean any better than any other detergent soap. It all surprised me but it's the truth about detergent soaps. All brand[s] detergents Soap is Soap! I like the powder detergent soap best (and is the best buy) but you need to mix it before you drop your clothes in it. Save you the study!

Who remembers and loved Sara Lee orange cake?
Q
Comments (12)
So here it was. It was fabulous. For the frosting I did 1/4 c lightly salted softened butter creamed with 4 oz softened cream cheese. Then added 3 c confectioners sugar, the zest of 1 orange and the juice from half the orange. I refrigerated overnight to allow flavor to develop. Then I made the cake the following morning. I added the juice from the remaining half of the orange to soften the frosting before frosting the cake. For the cake I just did my standard gluten free yellow cake and added the zest and juice of 1 orange at the end of prep.

I was looking for it 12 years ago and couldn't remember if I found it or not! Unfortunately, I've been unable to locate it. Again. I thought I stuck it inside that USDA canning book that we all got at "camp", but it's not there....

If you are able to contact Jessy, I would bet that she has a copy of the recipe.

Hi there!

It's been weeks since I've been able to log in to Houzz / Gardenweb. My preliminary hunt for the Peach Chutney recipe was a bust. I'll have to dig deeper into paper files and see if I can find it.

I loved canning camp! I still talk about it when canning comes up.
