The Parsnips replaces the Salt for Flavor

About 2 tbsp. Parsley

Add Broth to pot with Soup Mix,  Tomato Soup, Water, Onion, Garlic, & Celery.

 with chicken, beef or chinese food.
Or serve alone at lunch

Simple and easy to make, and freezes well.

1 med. onion chopped
1 can or 4-6 mushrooms chopped
1 small green pepper chopped
1 celery stock chopped
pepper & parsley to taste.

Optional- you can also add 2 to 3 cups chopped chicken, pork, turkey or leftover ham chopped up is also good.

Plum Jam

  

These plums are ripe at the end of Summer,

 and are with us for only a short time.

They are excellent raw and they are even 

better when cooked especially in this plum jam,

my favorite jam.

Ingredients:

4 cups chopped ripe plums

3  cups sugar

2  tblsp lemon juice

Directions:

Wash plums.
I put them in a clean sink filled with cold water. 

Slice plums in half and remove the pits

Chop up plums.

Mix the plums, sugar and lemon juice in a deep pan

Let stand 1 hr.

Bring plum mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring often. 
Continue cooking, uncovered and stirring for about 20 minutes or until thickened.

Pour into hot sterilized jars.
