On an end of summer trip through WalMart my wife and I stumbled into the canning section. We could not believe our eyes, ALL THE CANNING STUFF WAS ON SALE!!!! So we started to fill the cart with big jars and small jars and in between jars and lids and cook books and spices and tools and anything else that looked like a canning thing! We spent well over $100.00 on the stuff. We proceeded to read recipe after recipe looking for "good ones" which we in turn book marked. The next day we compiled a shopping list and hit the farmers market, the grocery stores and the roadside vendors. All the while chanting the mantra "Fresh is best, Fresh is best". After spending another 150.00 on produce we were ready to start cookin and a cannin. First we made Peach Chutney then antipasto, tomato chili, peach jam, kosher dill pickles, pickled beats, blackberry jam, roasted red peppers and feta in olive oil, red pepper jelly and last but not least Mom's Apple Pie In A Jar.

A taste of heaven for pie lovers! Whether you serve this spread on bread or use it more creatively, you're sure to receive rave reviews for its good taste. For a quick sweet lift, spoon this spread onto cake, waffles or into tiny padded tart shells.
