Now it doesn't know if I'm in NYC or Rochester!
I have not looked anything Rochestery up since
the Penn Yan phenomenon.

That sounds to be a weak connection about to go. Perhaps
something needs soldering.

I'm not so sure that with my heart I should be jumping
into a lake, though people may want me to.

My record was 24 trail miles with a sizable mountain

That sounds good, but one thing crossed my mind; if
people really want prime rib, we can do it ourselves

I wonder how that idiom came about.

That's how hits are made.

It's easy to omit and easy to add for those who miss 
it. I've discovered in my old age that though I don't
really like the stuff, I tolerate it much better than
before. What's odd is that I am beginning to dislike
regular parsley almost as much.

Hot Pepper and Cilantro Jelly
Categories: Kentucky, condiment
Yield: 6 x 8oz jars

1 c minced bell peppers
1/2 c minced jalape o peppers
1 Tb minced garlic
1/2 c minced cilantro
1 1/2 c apple cider vinegar
6 c pure cane sugar
3 oz pk liquid pectin

Start water bath canner boiling. You need enough water to 
cover the jars when you are ready to put them in canner.

Sterilize and prepare 6 8 oz jelly jars, lids and rings. 
Keep the lids and rings in simmering water.

Line a lipped baking tray with aluminum foil, and put 
jars in place. This helps prevents spills and makes for 
a faster cleanup.

In a heavy nonreactive aluminum saucepan combine all 
ingredients EXCEPT pectin. Bring to a rolling boil, 
stirring constantly. Reduce heat to gentle boil. Stir 
while cooking for 5 min.

Add pectin. At this point, the mixture will froth up. 
Cook for 1 min. Remove pan from heat. Skim off any foam.

Fill jars with ladle and funnel. Leave 1/4" headspace.

Wipe rims with wet towel, removing any spills. Add lids 
and rings, screwing on just until finger tight.

Once canner reaches a rolling boil, add jars to canner. 
Add lid. Let canner come back up to a boil and process 
10 min. Remove jars, keeping from cool drafts. Flip the 
jars upside-down for the first 10 min of cooling. This 
lets the peppers suspend in the jelly, making a lovely 
presentation. After that time, set jars upright and 
allow to cool for 24 hr.

Before storing check to make sure all jars sealed.
