This year we didn't get much from the peppers and I miss this chutney. I dont have my exact recipe here, but this one online looks just about the same. http://www.lanierbb.com/recipes/data/1377.html<BR/><BR/>BTW, you can increase the amount of peppers, just decrease the apple by the same amount. I did and it tasted great!<BR/><BR/>You can also can that ground beef. If you can it, you can still make hamburgers and such, you just have to add breadcrumbs and egg to make a patty.<BR/><BR/>And I would can those tomatillos instead of refreezing them, just to be safe. Freezing doesnt actually kill any bacteria, it just slows it down. So everything that started growing during the thaw will still be there. But the pressure cooker will take care of that.<BR/><BR/>Sorry to hear this happened twice! What a bummer.Freija and Beringian Fritillaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11591614320106389316noreply@blogger.com
