I thought you were famous for deep dish pizza! Flash freeze and pack in dry ice....I'll swap NE beef for the pizza!! jk2
Jam looks WONDERFUL! Brings back good memories of canning with the kids when they were little. They loved the finished product, but HATED the smell of the vinegar I put in the canner water to keep the jars sparkling. Time passes so quickly.

I think Chicago being famous for deep dish pizza is a tourist thing or something. I don't know anyone who eats that stuff. But a good Chicago style hot dog, mmm mmm.
I'd eat deep dish pizza if I could get it. We were in Chicago years ago and had a deep dish. It was incredible! Loved it! Also, we had a family owned restaurant here in town that made deep dish pizzas which were excellent. A few years ago, the family sold the restaurant and the food isn't as good now.

Hazel---Maybe you have seen this before? I thought of you last night when I came across a Buckeye candy FO! Maybe you will have to host a swap at some point with a local food theme. :wink:

Thanks PrairieCraft! I didn't even know a FO existed for buckeyes. I'd never have thought of it. I'm going to have to buy some. It's given me an idea for a soap.
However, I don't think I could host a swap. Too many people with bad habits and too many animals at this house. There would be dog and cat hair on everything.
Maybe somebody else would volunteer?

Hmm...chicken scented soap.
Moonshine?
Yeah, I don't think I'd care for chicken scented soap. I mentioned this post to my sister and as soon as I said "Kentucky", she said "Bourbon".
I like the phrase "white lightening". I wonder what kind of theme you could develop from it. Maybe a dark blue with white streaks/zigzags? I don't know what you could use as a scent. Maybe a combination of apple jack and something else to give it a slight alcohol scent. I don't know if there's a champagne FO but something like it combined with apple jack might work to make it smell like homemade hootch. I think it would look cool if you had a plain label showing a jug with XXX written on it.
Or maybe you could come up with something based on birch beer.
The more I think of this, the more fun I think it would be to have a swap of soaps or other products based on regional food items. But not until after the new year, I've got too much going on right now and I'd need to experiment with the idea I had about buckeyes.
