Well, since I am making peach butter I will post my recipe. Here it is if anyone cares for it. Peach Butter 2 quarts peach pulp~~~thats about l and a half dozen medium full ripe peaches 4 cups sugar To prepare the pulp you wash, scald, pit, peel and chop the peaches. Cook them until they are soft only adding enough water so they wont stick. Press them through a sieve or food mill and then measure pulp. Add the sugar then cook until thick. It will be about 30 minutes or so. As mixture thickens stir frequently to prevent sticking. Pour into hot jars leaving a one fourth inch head space. Adjust the caps and process in a boiling water bath at simmering temperature (180°-185°)for 10 minutes. This peach butter was taste tested by DH on a hot piping buttered bisquits yesterday morning. He said it was good, but he had better say that after I have put by 22 pints of this. LOL Darleen

Here are some dressings/marinades for grilling. From Fine Cooking Italian Dressing Marinade Bottled Italian dressing is a popular marinade, but this is so much fresher, and you can change the herbs to suit your taste. The small amount of mayonnaise helps emulsify the ingredients. Use for steak, pork, lamb, chicken, fish, scallops, shrimp, or vegetables. Yields about 2 cups, enough to marinate 2 lb. food 2/3 cup red wine vinegar 1/3 cup dry white wine 1 tsp. mayonnaise 3 medium cloves garlic, chopped 2 Tbs. chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley 1 Tbs. chopped fresh oregano 2 tsp. chopped fresh sage 1 tsp. dried minced onion 1 tsp. dried minced garlic 1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes Fine sea salt 1 cup olive or canola oil In a medium bowl, combine the vinegar and wine. Whisk in the mayonnaise until the color is milky white and there are no lumps. Whisk in the fresh garlic, parsley, oregano, sage, dried onion and garlic, red pepper flakes, and 1/2 tsp. salt. Slowly whisk in the oil until completely incorporated. The marinade will keep, tightly covered, in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Asian Citrus-Ginger-Sesame Marinade Most Asian-style marinades are heavy on soy sauce, but it's used just as an accent in this bright, citrusy marinade. Confectioners' sugar may seem an odd ingredient here, but it's an ideal substitute for granulated sugar because it dissolves so easily. This marinade is great for steak, pork, chicken, fish (especially salmon), shellfish, vegetables (especially asparagus and zucchini), or pineapple. Yields about 1-1/3 cups, enough to marinate 1-1/2 lb. food 1 medium orange, finely grated to yield 1/2 tsp. zest, squeezed to yield 1/3 cup juice 2 medium limes, finely grated to yield 1 tsp. zest, squeezed to yield 1/4 cup juice 2 Tbs. Asian sesame oil 2 Tbs. canola oil 2 Tbs. lower-sodium soy sauce 5 medium cloves garlic, grated on a rasp 2 Tbs. finely grated fresh ginger (from a 2- to 3-inch piece) 1 Tbs. Sriracha or Asian chili garlic sauce 1 Tbs. confectioners' sugar Fine sea salt Combine the orange zest and juice, lime zest and juice, sesame and canola oils, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, Sriracha, confectioners' sugar, and 1/2 tsp. salt in a medium bowl. The marinade will keep, tightly covered, in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Spicy Mexican Marinade Mayonnaise is the perfect base for a marinade. Here, it takes the place of oil and keeps the marinade ingredients suspended. The lime juice cuts through the richness of the smoky chipotle marinade, and the beer adds depth of flavor. Use for steak, pork, chicken, or fish (especially tuna or halibut steaks). Yields about 2-1/2 cups, enough to marinate 2-1/2 lb. food 1 7-oz. can chipotles en adobo 1/2 medium white onion, coarsely chopped 1/4 cup dark beer (such as Negra Modelo) 1/4 cup packed fresh cilantro 2 Tbs. fresh lime juice (from 1 medium lime) Fine sea salt 1 cup mayonnaise; more as needed In a blender, puree the chipotles and the adobo sauce until smooth. Transfer to a small bowl. In the blender, puree the onion, beer, cilantro, lime juice, and a large pinch of salt. Transfer the mixture to a large nonreactive bowl. Fold in the mayonnaise and 1/4 to 1/3 cup of the chipotle puree, to taste. (Refrigerate the remaining puree for another use; it will keep in an airtight container for at least 1 month.) Three-Mustard Bistro Marinade This marinade combines three favorite mustards with classic French ingredients: butter, white wine, and scallions. Honeycup is a brown sugar and spice mustard available nationally; if you can't find it, substitute a honey mustard. Use for steak, pork, lamb, chicken, fish (especially salmon), or vegetables (especially mushrooms and potatoes). Yields about 3 cups, enough to marinate 3 lb. food 1 8-oz. jar Dijon mustard 1/2 cup grainy mustard 1/4 cup Honeycup mustard 1 cup white wine 4 oz. (1/2 cup) unsalted butter 4 or 5 scallions, trimmed, white and green parts chopped Fine sea salt and coarsely ground black pepper In a medium bowl, whisk together the Dijon, grainy mustard, Honeycup mustard, and white wine. Melt the butter in a 3-quart nonreactive saucepan over low heat. Whisk in the mustard mixture, scallions, 1 tsp. salt, and 1/2 tsp. pepper and heat, whisking, until the sauce has emulsified. Cool completely before using. Red Wine and Coffee Marinade The wonderful thing about this marinade is that you're likely to have most of the ingredients on hand. It doesn't contain added salt, so remember to salt your food just before grilling. This marinade is especially good for steak or pork. Yields about 2-1/2 cups, enough to marinate 2-/2 lb. food 1 cup brewed espresso or very strong black coffee, at room temperature 1 cup full-flavored red wine, such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, or Zinfandel 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil 4 medium cloves garlic, grated on a rasp grater 2 Tbs. Dijon mustard 1-1/2 Tbs. packed dark brown sugar 1 Tbs. Worcestershire sauce 1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon Coarsely ground black pepper In a medium nonreactive bowl, whisk the coffee, wine, olive oil, garlic, mustard, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, cinnamon, and 2 tsp. pepper until well blended.

I made these Mini Cherry Pie's last week-end. Everyone loved them! I forgot the nuts til they were in the oven! DD said she doesn't like nuts though so it was fine. Also I didn't sprinkle with cinnamon/sugar either. Some had Dream Whip on top and others a scoop of ice cream. Mini Cherry Pie's INGREDIENTS 3/4 cup Pillsbury BEST® all-purpose or unbleached flour 1/2 cup packed brown sugar 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/2 cup LAND O LAKES® Butter 1/2 cup Fisher® Chef's Naturals® Chopped Nuts, if desired 1 can (16.3 oz) Pillsbury® Grands!® Flaky Layers refrigerated biscuits 1 can (21 oz) apple, blueberry or cherry pie filling 1 to 1 1/2 cups whipping cream Cinnamon-sugar DIRECTIONS Heat oven to 350°F. In medium bowl, mix flour, brown sugar and cinnamon. With pastry blender or fork, cut in butter until mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Stir in nuts. Separate dough into 8 biscuits. Split each biscuit in half to make 16 rounds. With floured fingers, flatten each to form 4-inch round. Press each biscuit round in ungreased 2 3/4x1 1/4-inch muffin cup. Spoon 2 tablespoons pie filling into each biscuit-lined cup. Sprinkle each with about 2 tablespoons flour mixture. (Cups will be full.) Bake 15 to 22 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 5 minutes. Remove from muffin cups; place on cooling rack. Cool 10 minutes. In small bowl, beat whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Top each serving with whipped cream; sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar. Store in refrigerator.

A tasty way to use up your cherry tomatoes! Grilled Chicken Breasts with Sun-Dried and Fresh Tomato Salsa (Fine Cooking) 8 oz. small red and yellow cherry tomatoes, halved or quartered, depending on size 2 Tbs. chopped drained oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes 2 tsp. drained capers (roughly chopped if large) 1/2 tsp. minced garlic 1 Tbs. sherry vinegar 2 tsp. lightly chopped fresh thyme leaves; plus sprigs for garnish, if you like 3 Tbs. plus 2 tsp. extra-virgin olive oil Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 2 large (6 to 8 oz.) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, rinsed and patted dry, tenderloins removed, butterflied In a small bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, capers, garlic, sherry vinegar, 1 tsp. of the thyme, 3 Tbs. of the olive oil, 1/4 tsp. salt and a few grinds of pepper. Set aside, stirring occasionally to let the flavors combine. Heat a gas grill to high. Put the chicken in a shallow nonreactive pan or plate. Rub the chicken all over with salt (about 1/2 tsp. for each piece of chicken), a few grinds of pepper, and the remaining 1 tsp. thyme. Drizzle 1/2 tsp. olive oil over each side of each piece of chicken and rub all over. Lay the butterflied breasts on the hot grill grates and cook, covered, until the chicken has grill marks, 1-1/2 min. Rotate the breasts 90 degrees (to get a crosshatch of grill marks) and continue grilling until grill marks form, another 1-1/2 min. Flip the breasts and cook the second side in the same way but for a little less time, grilling for 1 min. in one direction and 1 min. in another, until cooked through. Transfer the breasts immediately to two warm serving plates, stir the tomato mixture and spoon equal amounts (it will be a generous portion) over each piece of chicken. Garnish with a sprig of thyme, if you like.
