Sloppy Joes

 

Just getting caught up on some recipes I wanted to save.   Here is a great recipe I got for sloppy joes from a friend.   It's even better than Manwich!

Sloppy Joes

2 lb ground beef
1 onion, minced
12 oz. ketchup
6 oz chili sauce
1/4 c. brown sugar

1 T. dry mustard

Brown and drain ground beef.   Add onion and saute until soft.   Add remaining ingredients and simmer for 30 mins. 

Strawberry Jam 2024

 

I've barely posted anything this year, but I wanted to remember a few things about my jam making this year.  First of all, the Ferber method of jam making once again didn't work for me.  I am never going to try one of her recipes ever again.   I am going to stick to my tried and true method for making it.   Just for record keeping's sake, 1 flat of strawberries were 24 c halved and hulled berries.     I paid $48 for a flat.   The yield was 18 half pints of strawberry jam.    I haven't made any other jams yet but am freezing berries for fall canning.
