Hi, you don't need a blender, just chop and mix ,,the juice from the tomato will make it saucy. Also if the tomatoes are ripe , lightly squeeze the juice,and save it, before cutting them.

How did the bread turn out? I bet they would be good in cornbread.

I made some Jalapeno jelly a few weeks ago and although it's really good I will never do that again. First I didn't wear gloves when I chopped up the Jalapenos and when I was done I could not get the burn off and was in severe pain. (I don't have a food processor).

And second, the jelly is really good on a cracker with cream cheese but who needs 6 jars of the stuff? I don't know what I was thinking. I live in California and the peppers are in season and I got a dozen for about $2, I thought it would make fun Xmas gifts but although the jars sealed when canning, the stuff didn't gel as much as it should have and it's still a little runny.

Hi you guys thank you for the tips . The bread came out great even though I had to sit for some of the choppping because of my back . I liked it it came out crispy the cheese burned though so I geuss I did that wrong. I have made a quick casserole . Boil some water add 2 pieces of fresh chopped Garlic, a tsp. salt and a tsp. of pepper then add your penne noodles to the boiling water. I had a left over roast chicken and hamburger patties in the fridge peeled and chopped up them both and added this to the boiling water after the noodles had been in for 2 minutes. stir stir stir . I had sliced frozen leftover tomatoes in the frig too. I added this too. I let it cook until the noodles were fat and cooked . I then let it cool and moved it to another burner so it would not absorb more heat and left the lid off to cool as it cooked the rest of the noodles without heat. yummy I hope you like this. ,hugs, Bunch

Ooops geuss I should have put this recipe under new topic, sorry
