1 lb cottage cheese (low-fat is fine)
3 cups sour cream (even a little less will do)
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup melted margarine (unsalted)
4 to 6 eggs, depending on how rich you like it (go for broke)
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 lb broad or thin noodles, cooked
1/2 cup raisins
cinnamon and sugar (for topping)

In a large mixing bowl, combine cheese, sour cream, milk and half of the
melted margarine. Beat together the eggs, sugar and vanilla and add to
cheese mixture. Then add the cooked noodles and raisins; turn into large
buttered pan or two smaller ones. Top with remaining melted margarine.
Mix together some cinnamon and sugar and sprinkle on top. Crushed
cornflakes may also be used as topping with the cinnamon and sugar.
Bake at 350 degrees for about an hour or until lightly browned.
May be frozen and reheated.

NOTE: I find it unnecessary to do the eggs, sugar and vanilla separately.
I put it all in the 25-cup Tupperware mixing bowl and mix with a wire whisk.
This makes a really large quantity. I find my lasagna pan the perfect
size. You can easily halve the entire recipe if it is only a side dish for
a family dinner. Another beauty of this dish is that, for buffets, it’s
tasty even at room temperature; you don’t have to worry about keeping it hot.

Canned Spiced Peaches from the South

Recipe By : Jo Anne Merrill
Serving Size : 24 Preparation Time :0:45
Categories : Canning Recipes

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
3 1-quart canning jars
6 pounds peaches
8 cups sugar
2 3/4 cups cider vinegar
4 cinnamon sticks
4 teaspoons whole cloves — * see note

* Use additional cloves and cinnamon sticks for spicier peaches. This recipe
calls for 24 medium-sized peaches, which is about 6 pounds total weight.

1. Place into a large heavy kettle or sauce pan: sugar, cider vinegar,
and 1-1/3 cups water. Tie cinnamon sticks and 4 teaspoons of whole cloves
in a double thickness of cheesecloth; add to the saucepan.
2. Place pan over medium heat and stir until sugar is dissolved. Bring
to boiling, cover, and boil for five minutes. Uncover and boil five minutes
longer.
3. While sugar mixture is boiling, prepare peaches. Have a large pot of
water boiling rapidly. Wash peaches, and working with 7 to 8 peaches at a
time, plunge them into the boiling water. Immediately plunge into cold
water and gently slip off the skins. Leave peaches whole or cut in half and
remove pit. Whole peaches are the usual southern tradition.
4. Insert a whole clove into each peach, or for spicier peaches insert
several cloves. Add peaches to hot syrup. Bring syrup to boiling again and
simmer peaches for 10 minutes or until tender.
5. Quickly drain one sterilized jar. Pack hot peaches into jar, adding
a cinnamon stick for spicier flavor. Cover top with waxed paper and set
aside while preparing 2nd and 3rd jar. Repeat steps 3 through 5 with 7 to 8
more peaches for 2nd jar. Repeat again for 3rd jar.
6. Bring syrup to boiling and pour into jars to within 1/2 inch of top.
Wipe away any food about fill line and on rim of jar; immediately seal.

Yield: about 3 quarts.

Quantity: An average of 21 pounds is needed per canner load of 7 quarts;
an average of 13 pounds is needed per canner load of 9 pints. A bushel

Procedure for hot or raw tomatoes filled with water in jars: Wash
tomatoes. Dip in boiling water for 30 to 60 seconds or until skins
split; then dip in cold water. Slip off skins and remove cores. Leave
whole or halve. Add bottled lemon juice or citric acid to jars (See
acidification directions). Add 1 teaspoon of salt per quart to the jars,
if desired. For hot pack products, add enough water to cover the
tomatoes and boil them gently for 5 minutes. Fill jars with hot tomatoes
or with raw peeled tomatoes. Add the hot cooking liquid to the hot pack,
or hot water for raw pack to cover, leaving 1/2-inch headspace. Adjust
lids and process according to the recommendations in Table 1, Table 2,
or Table 3, depending on the method of canning used.

boiling-water canner.

.
NOTE: This section of the guide appears to contain some sort of error
in the information given within Table 3 above. In the USDA book, there
are only TWO sizes of jars specified in the table, but there are THREE
separate lines of figures in the table, and it is not completely clear
which jar size the second and third entries refer to. I have given the
second entry’s numbers as those to be used for Quart jars, and below I
have reprinted the third entry on the table, for an unknown jar size.

Style of Pack: Hot. Jar Size: ??.
Process Time: 10 min.
Canner Gauge Pressure (PSI) at Altitudes 0 – 1,000 ft: 15 lb.
Above 1,000 ft: Not Recommended.
