Jar Recipes - Hot Chocolate

This week will be filled with suggestions for gifts you can give in a jar. These homemade gifts are thoughtful, pretty, and each deliver a comfort factor. What's better on a cold night than a hot mug of hot chocolate? Spoon the mix into pint-sized jars.

Best-Ever Apple Pie--Really!

You just can't beat a good ol' American apple pie for a great dessert. This recipe was featured in the September 2008 issue of Southern Living. It has five pounds of apples in it!! The picture above is the picture of the pie I made. It was so good! As you read the recipe, you will notice that the crust is a little different--it has cornmeal in it. It also uses apple juice as the wetting agent. The trick is rolling the top crust out large enough to cover that mound of apples. If you love apple pie, try this one. I don't think you'll be disappointed!
