I love to bake. I am always looking for fun new recipes to try. Here are my latest projects:
Raspberry Peach Jam
7 c. Peaches (about 15-16 peaches)
2 c. Fresh Raspberries - mashed
(rinse whole berries in cold water and freeze immediately
if not canning same day, to prevent mold.)
10 c. Sugar (about 4 lb.)
3 Small Boxes Raspberry Jell-0
Blanch peaches in boiling water for 60 seconds.
Put immediately in cold water and peel.
Halve and pit peaches.
Place in large bowl.
Squish with hands until peaches are in small chunks.
In a large pot, mix together raspberries, sugar and peaches.
Bring to a boil.
Boil for 20 minutes, while stirring constantly.
Remove from heat.
Add jell-o.
Stir until dissolved.
Pour into pint jars.
Water bath for 15 minutes.
Yields 7-8 pints.

Homemade Bread
4 1/2 cups warm water
2T yeast
1/2 cup sugar
2T salt
11-12 cups flour
6-8T oil
Combine warm water, sugar and yeast set aside for 10 minutes. Add 3-4 cups of flour and oil. Mix well. Add the remaining flour. Place in warm area. Allow to double in size. Shape into loaves and let double again. Bake for 25-30 min @ 350 degrees.
***I used half white and half wheat flour, it was yummy.
Breadsticks
This recipe is so easy and sooo good! They taste amazingly similar to the breadsticks at The Pizza Factory in Utah. http://www.favfamilyrecipes.com/ (Love this site!)
1½ cups warm water
2 Tbsp. sugar
1 Tbsp. yeast
Let that sit for 5 minutes. Then add:
3½ cups flour
1 tsp Salt
Mix until smooth then let raise for 10 minutes. Roll out dough into a large square on a floured surface. Brush with melted (real) butter mixed with garlic and then sprinkle with kosher salt. Fold in half and cut into 1 inch strips. Twist and place on a cooking sheet. Let sit for 15 to 20 minutes to raise. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately after baking, brush with more garlic butter and sprinkle with kosher salt and grated parmesan cheese.
Serve with marinara, alfredo sauce, or ranch for dipping.
*Dough also makes a great pizza dough, just roll out into a large circle, add your favorite toppings, and bake at 400 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes.
