    Thanks for these recipes. I think I'll try all of them except for the "corn" one.

    I will process these recipes in a hot water bath to be sure they are sealed and last for the winter. I want to be sure that I have 100% results. (I stopped using wax tops years ago. Even 'sealed' ones have a percentage of 'loss'(ones w/o hot bath).
