Comments

If you use olive oil it will harden in the refrigerator. Remove ahead of time to thaw. I use Canola oil most of the time. It will NOT harden in the refrigerator. I also usually make a double batch of mix and store until needed. Also dry a whole grated carrot and a grated bell pepper. Store each seperately until needed. You can buy dry pectin at the grocery store. It is with the canning supplies, usually. Powdered onion can be made by placeing dried minced onion in a blender. If you have any questions e-mail me seanice351@cs.com My wife and I ALWAYS use this recipe instead of buying. We think it tastes better.
