Can anyone tell me how to make and preserve blackberry vinaigrette? We've been using store-bought raspberry/walnut vinaigrette on our salads (grilled chicken, salad greens, blueberries, strawberries). I've sold almost all my blackberries but am taking the remaining few off the vines for my own...
I just received an email from a friend who says that a penny placed over a fresh bee sting will take the sting and irritation away. Supposedly the copper has something to do with it. Has anyone else tried this?

I made some of these cookies yesterday and they are just great. These instructions are for making the jars as gifts. I used semi sweet chocolate chips instead of white chocolate and since I didn't have any pecans on hand, I toasted and chopped up some almonds. They're really good. :drool...
We've got a bunch of these huge things growing and can't sell them all. Can I ferment them - and how do I do it? I've never knowingly fermented anything and I think it's time to jump on the bandwagon.
