ingredients
3 pounds ripe tomatoes, cored, peeled, seeded, and chopped
7 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
12 sprigs fresh lavender (preferably with blossoms)
directions
In heavy large nonreactive pot, combine tomatoes, sugar, lemon juice, and half the lavender sprigs. Mix well. Bring to boiling, stirring to dissolve sugar. Reduce heat.
Boil gently, uncovered, until tomatoes break down and the mixture becomes jelly-like, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally.
Remove from heat. Stir and skim off foam, discarding lavender sprigs.
Ladle tomato mixture into sterilized half-pint canning jars with a sprig of lavender in each. Seal.
Cool to room temperature on rack. Store in the refrigerator up to 3 weeks. Serve with cream cheese and crackers or toasted English muffins.

What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!
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.
