Girl Scout Mint Cookie Pie

That used to was my favourite Girl Sprout cookie. Then I discovered...

My favorite is the Samoas followed by the Tagalongs. :)

My #2 choice is the Trefoils (shortbread) They're good with a cuppa hot
tea.

Not even those. (G)

I'm the same way with bologna that you are with peanut butter. It
really does trigger my gag reflex.

I bought some bologna probably a couple of years ago; hadn't bought any
in years (maybe decades?), thought we'd switch off from our usual lunch meats (turkey, ham, roast beef). We'll stay with our usual 3, thank you very much. Not quite a gag reflex but not a taste we'd like to repeat.

If you had one of those for your only meat over 4 months .. That's what
put me off of bologna.

I've tought about making a punkin roll once -- until I read all of the directions/steps. I;ll let someone else assemble mine.

I don't think it's that hard to do, but then again, I've done it so
often that it's not quite a no brainer proccess.

You, no doubt have more patience as well as a more 'delicate' touch than my "ham handed" approach.

Have to keep this in mind for next year's peach season.

Or used canned peaches. They don'r mess them up too badly when putting them in cans. I drain and rinse them first.

No, and I've used them from time to time, also canned them at various times. Still prefer fresh, if those aren't available, then home canned. Commercial canned is the last resort.

Theonly canning of peaches I have done - or even helped with - is what my grandmother called "pickled peaches" They have an entirely different flavor profile from straight-up canned peaches.

Title: Mimi's Pickled Peaches
Categories: Fruits, Spices, Preserving
Yield: 6 Pints

4 lb Medium Clingstone peaches
4 c Granulated sugar
1 c White vinegar
1 c Tap water
6 (3") cinnamon sticks
Handful whole cloves; stems
- on
2 ts Pickling spices

THE NIGHT BEFORE Blanch and peel peaches, but leave them
whole. Place in a large glass bowl and pour the sugar
over them. Gently mix with hands until sugar covers all
the peaches. Cover with a clean cloth and let them set
overnight.

Sterilize 6 pint mason jars, lids and rings, and set
aside.

THE NEXT MORNING Drain the peaches, pouring the liquid
into a heavy large saucepan or dutch oven. Place the
peaches back in the bowl and set aside.

Add the vinegar, water and spices to the syrup in the
pan, and bring to a boil. Boil for 5 minutes.

While syrup is boiling, press one or two cloves into
each peach. After syrup has boiled for 5 minutes, add
the peaches to it and continue boiling for 20 minutes or
until peaches are tender.

WARNING: BE CAREFUL DURING THE NEXT STEPS - YOU WILL BE
HANDLING VERY HOT FOOD.

Using a slotted spoon, place peaches into sterile jars.
Fit them snugly into the jars, but do not force them or
they will bruise.

Place one cinnamon stick into each jar. Ladle the liquid
into each jar until it is 1/2" from the rim. It is
important to leave this "breathing" space.

With a dry clean cloth, wipe the rim and the jar clean.
Seal with lids and rings.

Process in a hot water bath for 10 minutes to seal.

Remove from water and set aside to cool. These can be
stored in the pantry when still sealed. However, once
you have opened a jar, store in the ice box.

Hi Dave,

My mom would occaisionally switch out from the PB&J to either bologna or (American) cheese on white bread with mustard sandwiches for our school lunches. Rarer switch outs were tuna fish or egg salad, the latter
always right after Easter. (G) I bought turkey bologna (and other cold
cuts) when I was making school lunches for our girls/work lunches for
Steve but always added a slice of real Cheddar or Swiss cheese, making
the sandwich on home made whole wheat bread. They weren't everyday
sandwiches; I also made peanut butter, tuna or chicken fish (latter is
canned chicken, same size cans as tuna so our girls named it chicken
fish). The girls also bought their lunch once a week at school, Steve
would go to the dining facility from time to time.

Our daughter Rachel gave us some about 10 years ago, said her family
didn't care for them. We liked them so the next summer when we got a
bushel of peaches, I did up some of them as pickled peaches. Also canned
some "straight", made peach butter (cousin of apple butter), peach
cobbler and ate some out of hand.

Somewhat different from how I did it but looks like the results are the
same. I used peach halves and did it as a one day project; IIRC,
pressure canning the jars instead of boiling water bath.
