CRABAPPLE PICKLES
(By Sandra Strom, CEO Song of Health)

The original recipe was passed down to me by my late mother-in-law, Clara. I convinced her to substitute honey in place of the sugar called for (using half the amount), when making them for me; they were delicious!

NOTE: This recipe is dairy-free.

Blend all ingredients in food processor until smooth. Keep in the refrigerator.
SUGGESTIONS FOR USE: Use on crackers or a crust for pizza. 

GREEN TOMATO RELISH
(By Sandra Strom, CEO Song of Health )

This is another great way to use those tomatoes that refuse to ripen.

HOMEMADE COTTAGE CHEESE
(Old recipe, creator unknown)

This recipe is fruit free when made with a grain vinegar! Most commercial cottage cheeses contain a fruit enzyme. And homemade always tastes better! And it is also more economical than purchasing in containers.

MAYONNAISE
(Contributed by Windrose Naturopathic Clinic)

Put everything except the oil in a blender. Blend for 5 seconds.
Continue to blend while adding the oil in a steady stream no bigger than a pencil width. When necessary, stop the blender and use a rubber spatula to scrape the sides.
Do not over-beat as it will cause the mayonnaise to separate. Do not double recipe! Store refrigerated.

MAYONNAISE #2
(By Sandra Strom, CEO Song of Health )

Have all ingredients at room temperature.
In blender add mustard, honey, salt and cayenne.
Add egg yolk and vinegar. Blend on low speed.
Beat in 1 tbsp. of the oil, a drop or two at a time. Then add the rest of the oil in a slow stream. If the oil settles on the top, stop the blender and carefully stir in the oil with a wooden spoon. Have the mixture perfectly smooth each time before adding more oil.
Continue the process until all the oil is carefully blended in and the dressing is as thick as whipped cream.
Stir in the lemon juice. If the mayo is too thick you may increase the lemon juice.
Hints: Olive oil imparts a wonderful flavor but it tends to cause the mayonnaise to separate more than will other oils. Try using part olive and part vegetable oil.
If you do not plan to use the day it is made, add 1 tsp. hot water with the vinegar.
If the mayonnaise separates (usually because the oil was added too quickly), put an egg yolk in a separate bowl and slowly add the mayonnaise mixture to it, beating it in gradually.

VARIATIONS:
For Chicken Salad: Add 1/4 tsp. chutney or curry powder.
For color or flavor: Add 1/2 tsp. tomato paste or tomato catsup.

CREAM MAYONNAISE
(By Sandra Strom, CEO Song of Health)

Beat cream until stiff. Stir gently into mayonnaise.

WHOLE EGG MAYONNAISE
(By Sandra Strom, CEO Song of Health )

In blender, beat egg until thick.
Add lemon juice or vinegar, honey, mustard and salt. Beat well.
Slowly add oil in a stream, constantly beating at slow speed. Do not over-beat once mayonnaise is thick, as it will cause it to separate.

TOMATO AND PEPPER SALSA
 (By Sandra Strom, CEO of Song of Health)

Mix all ingredients in a bowl. Serve chilled.
Serves 2-3.

BLACK BEAN SALSA

Add 1 cup cooked (or 1 8-oz. can) black beans to above ingredients.

VARIATIONS:
 Substitute cooked or canned pinto, pink or small red chili beans for black beans; or use combination of two or more types of beans.
 Add ¼ cup grated cheddar or cotija cheese (D). Mix well.

	TOMATO CATSUP (By Sandra Strom, CEO Song of Health)

Chop above ingredients, then simmer until soft.
Put through a fine sieve.
Return to saucepan and continue to simmer until reduced by one-half, approximately 30 minutes.

Place whole spices in a large tea ball or spice bag and add to sauce.
Add remaining ingredients. Simmer slowly until very thick, stirring often. Remove the tea ball or spice bag when desired flavor is achieved, approximately 2 hours. If necessary, continue to cook down until thick. (Overcooking spices will tend to make it taste bitter.)
To can in glass jars: Heat clean mason jars in oven at 150 degrees. Prepare lids in hot but not boiling water on stove. When jars are hot, pour catsup in them, secure lids and caps. Turn jars upside down, placing on towel on counter, until cooled. This helps to ensure lids will seal.
Note: Double recipe, using 25 pounds tomatoes, to make approximately 10 pints. This is a time consuming but delicious recipe.
Hint: If short on time, simmer then let set until the next day, repeating simmering process each day, until cooked down to the desired thickness. Can in jars.
Substitution suggestions:
Cider vinegar (F) may be used in place of grain vinegar.
Cloves may be omitted, though this will alter the spice flavor some.
Organic raw sugar may be used in place of honey.

TOMATO CONSERVE
(By Sandra Strom, CEO Song of Health)

The basic recipe was given to me over 30 years ago, by my late mother-in-law, Clara Baldwin. I have no idea where she found it. The original probably called for sugar and we adapted it, using honey instead. I also adapted the original for my idea of a better product, which is what you find here.
