Cook on low for about four hours then shred chicken and allow to marinate for an additional hour in excess sauce. When shredding with a fork, do not overdo it as this will make your sandwich soggy in the end. To serve, scoop the meat on a sturdy roll and top as desired—try provolone, crisp lettuce, onions or coleslaw.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br /></span><br />

<span style="color: #660000; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">I believe in using accent pieces to decorate in my home. We aren't big on painting projects and buying large pieces of furniture don't seem to happen as often as I'd like in our household. But I love flipping through magazines, going to decorator showhouses, traveling to consignment shops and antique malls. When the weather warms up I hope to start estate and yard saleing. My friends are big on thrift stores and I have to admit I've found a few interesting pieces myself. </span></div>

<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I had such a wonderful time this year canning. I made old favorites like <b>apple sauce</b>, <b>peach</b> and <b>blueberry jam</b>, <b>wet walnuts</b>. Then I tried new recipes like <b>Holiday Jam</b> and <b>Carrot Cake</b> Jam thanks to talented canners that love to share! I was very pleased with a lot of the recipes I tried. I didn't get to try some I still intend to make. I made mini sprinkle packs and my kids and I assembled gift packs for our friends of "<b>Make Your Own Sundaes</b>" for Christmas gifts that included Maraschino cherries, wet walnuts, strawberry topping, waffle cone bowls and some jams. Below is one of the recipes we really enjoyed.</span><br />

<div id="ctl00_PageContentPlaceHolder_ctl00_recipeIngredients" style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">1-1/2 cups finely grated peeled carrots<br />1-1/2 cups chopped cored peeled pears<br />1-3/4 cups chopped pineapple, including juice<br />3 Tbsp lemon juice<br />1 tsp ground cinnamon<br />1/2 tsp ground nutmeg<br />1/2 tsp ground cloves<br />6 Tbsp Ball<sup>®</sup> RealFruit<sup>®</sup> Classic Pectin<br />6-1/2 cups sugar<br />6 (8 oz) half pint glass preserving jars with lids and bands</span></div>
<h2 style="background-color: white; clear: both; font-style: italic; font-weight: normal;">
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: small;">Directions:</span></h2>
<div id="ctl00_PageContentPlaceHolder_ctl00_recipeDirections" style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">1.) PREPARE boiling water canner. Heat jars and lids in simmering water until ready for use. Do not boil. Set bands aside.<br />2.) COMBINE carrots, pears, pineapple with juice, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves in a 6- or 8-quart saucepan. Bring mixture to a boil over high heat, stirring frequently. Reduce heat, cover and boil gently for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and whisk in pectin until dissolved. Bring mixture to a full rolling boil that cannot be stirred down, over high heat, stirring frequently.<br />3.) ADD sugar all at once and return to a full rolling boil, stirring constantly. Boil hard for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Skim foam if necessary.<br />4.) LADLE hot jam into hot jars leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Wipe rim. Center lid on jar. Apply band and adjust until fit is fingertip tight.<br />5.) PROCESS in a boiling water canner for 10 minutes, adjusting for altitude. Remove jars and cool. Check lids for seal after 24 hours. Lid should not flex up and down when center is pressed.</span><br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">What I really like about this recipe is that you can make it and gift it any time of the year!</span></div>
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Carrots are very easy to buy and versatile for soups, roasting, baking and just plain snacking. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="post entry-content " itemprop="commentText" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">For those of you who want to make a blended tamarind margarita, here is a recipe that is very easy and has been very good. I use a tamarind paste (concentrate) instead of fresh tamarinds, which eliminates cooking, straining, sweetening, and other cumbersome steps. It may not be quite as good, but it's damn close.</span><br /><br /><strong class="bbc" style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Tamarind Margarita</strong><br /><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">2 oz tequila</span><br /><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">1 oz triple sec</span><br /><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">1 oz tamarind paste (concentrate)</span><br /><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">1 oz simple sugar</span><br /><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">2-3 cups ice</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Combine in blender and blend until smooth. Rim glasses with chile salt. Serves 2-3.</span><br /><br /><br /><strong class="bbc" style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Notes</strong><br /><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Vary the amount of tequila based on how strong you want your drinks. The tamarind is overpowering and you probably won't taste much of the tequila.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Look for tamarind paste in Indian or Mexican markets. I use "Mr. Manish Tamarind Paste" purchased from an Indian grocery store, which contains only tamarind extract.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">You may find 1 oz of tamarind paste to be a little too much. I like bold flavor and the tartness, but experiment to find the amount you like best.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Don't over blend You want to crush the ice but still keep a somewhat watery drink. If you blend too long, the drink becomes too thick and looks kind of unappealing because of the brown color (use your imagination). </span></span><br />

<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>But, </b>I have begun to redecorate - that's a good thing! So I'm looking for the beach cottage items I cannot live without, skimming through magazines, Etsy, Ebay and Pinterest. Not exactly roughing it!

<b>Saying "good-bye".... I needed a few days to think about this post because I wanted to express the joy of loving a pet and a furry friend less than the loss. So I've been thinking about the early days when we first brought our Chesapeake Bay Retrievers "Annie" and "Spice" home. First of all, we had no intention of having more than 1 dog in a little Cape Cod style home. Things happen. But off we went to a breeder across the Bay Bridge of Maryland to see a litter of new Chessies.</b></div>

I've listed a few that sounded delish to me. I uses as much fresh fruit as possible. We have a Trader Joe's by my house and now an enormous Wegmann's - so I buy berries, bananas, kiwi, apples, etc. But there are frozen peaches and other fruits that are good for on the go risers if you chose not to use ice cubes or simply to have on hand if you're low on fruit and they really are very tasty. I keep yogurt in the frig. in regular size containers but you can also just buy the larger one to save a few pennies. <em><strong>If you have a recipe you'd like to share</strong></em> - <em>send it over</em>. When the fresh fruit starts to come out - I'll be there! When I can pick at the local places ... even better!</span><br />
