Cajun Red Beans and Sausage (Canning Recipe)

Cajun Red Beans and Sausage (Canning Recipe)

Throw some rice in your rice cooker (or use your favorite stovetop recipe) and heat up a jar of these spicy Cajun red beans with smoky pork and andouille sausage for a hearty, warming dinner in almost no time at all. This pressure-canning meal-in-a-jar recipe is adapted from a tested recipe by Ball. I have changed the seasoning and modified the preparation steps and recipe volume somewhat from the original, while still following safe-canning practices.

Classic Southern Pecan Pie

Classic Southern Pecan Pie

This traditional southern pecan pie is a great addition to your holiday pie table, or to bake and make any day special! It has a rich, caramel flavored filling, with buttery pecans and a flaky pastry crust. I recommend a homemade all-butter crust, but you can use your favorite quality store-bought crust in a pinch (though the pie won't be quite as good).
