Best Apples for Pie?
I am from Michigan and use Northern Spies - they do have a short season, but I think they make the very best pies
Harry and David's Pepper and Onion Relish?
Go to Recipezaar and look for #250730 - I have not made it yet, but my friend said it was spectacular
Making Crunchy Canned Pickles?
I always put them in ice and salt for at least a few hours then drain and cook - do not put too many batches in the same pot to cook - it takes too long for them to all get hot. I had one batch get mushy this way.
