Hi Jim,


 JW> I also add minced onion and celery

 RH> Celery goes in other things, not pasta sauce as a
 RH> general rule.

 JW> We really like celery and use it freely in all sorts of dishes. For
 JW> tomato sauces we use the leafy tops. In fact we like celery leaves
 JW> so much we grow Chinese celery which has thin, round, hollow stems
 JW> and lots of leaves. It is also more strongly flavoured than regular
 JW> celery.

Hmmmmmmm, one of the vendors at the farmer's market had some the other
day. I got the red noodle beans and beets from him, maybe I'll go for
celery this week. It had a lot of leaves so it may have been the Chinese
celery, have to ask next time I see him.


 JW> Speaking of celery and flavour packed:

 JW>       Title: Remoulade Shrimp
 JW>  Categories: Appetizers, Cajun, Sauces, Shrimp, Chilies
 JW>       Yield: 4 Servings

 JW>       1 c  Romaine lettuce; chopped
 JW>       1 lb Shrimp; boiled, peeled,
 JW>            deveined & chilled
 JW>            SAUCE:
 JW>       1 bn Scallion; chopped
 JW>       2    Ribs celery; chopped
 JW>       2    Sprigs parsley; chopped
 JW>       3 tb Creole mustard
 JW>       5 ts Paprika
 JW>   1 1/4 ts Salt
 JW>     1/2 ts Black pepper; fresh ground
 JW>     1/4 ts Cayenne
 JW>       6 tb White wine vinegar
 JW>       5 ts Fresh lemon juice
 JW>     1/2 ts Dried basil
 JW>     3/4 c  Olive oil
 JW>       1    Scallion; chopped
 JW>       1 tb Celery; chopped
 JW>       2 ts Fresh parsley, minced

That does look like it would have a lot of flavor!

We just pulled 8 half pint jars of fig preserves out of a boiling water
bath, figs from our tree and more still to come. The preserves have just
figs and sugar in them, lemon was optional but since I didn't have any
on hand, it was left out. We also got a quarter pint jar and about 2-3
tablespoons worth in the fridge, didn't process but will eat as our
taster.
