The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.


4 cups cabbage, chopped
3 cups cauliflower, chopped
2 cups onions, chopped
2 cups green tomatoes, chopped
2 cups green bell peppers, chopped
3 tablespoons salt
2 1/2 cups vinegar
1 1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons dry mustard
1 tablespoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
2 teaspoons celery seeds
1 tablespoon mustard seeds
Combine cabbage, cauliflower, onions, green tomatoes and bell peppers. Sprinkle with salt. Let mixture stand 4 to 6 hours in cool place. Drain well.
Combine vinegar, sugar, mustard, turmeric, ginger, celery seeds and mustard seeds in large saucepan. Simmer 10 minutes. Add vegetable mixture and simmer 10 minutes longer. Bring to boil.
Pack, boiling hot, into hot sterilized jars, leaving 1/4-inch head space. Adjust lids and process 10 minutes in boiling water bath.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.
