Maida Heatter's Eight Hour Cheesecake- my way

I love making cheesecakes and I especially love making Maida's cakes.  Her recipes are exacting and they always taste amazing.  But the thing is, I prefer making individual cakes- I can freeze small portions and individualize the servings.  It's a perfect gluten-free recipe if you omit the graham cracker crust...  The small cakes were made in 250ml wide mouth canning jars.

This recipe makes 15 cakes in jars.

Summer in a Jar- Corn Relish

This corn relish is a hit!  So amazing!  When the local corn crop hits the stores, I hit the kitchen.  I've topped soups with this relish, topped baked potatoes and of course, you'll love it with hamburgers and hot dogs.


It's adapted from a Canadian Living Canning recipe.

This recipe makes approximately 6 500ml jars.

East Coast Cod Cakes- They're Back!


When I lived on the West Coast, my fish cakes were all about crab, 
scallops and salmon.  Now that I live in Ontario, I am looking to the
East Coast for my fish"y" inspiration.  Cod is a wonderful fish for
cakes.  You'll love these.

This recipe hails from Cape Breton in Nova Scotia.
