any recipe that begins "one peck of tomatoes" is okay with me. not that i will be making it (waaay too much food), but it makes me happy.

Care to share?

i didn't save it since i wasn't going to use it, but it was for homemade chili sauce.

Oh that makes me real happy too. I wonder how much a peck is ... it's less than a bushel, I gather.

1 peck = 8.8 litres

presumably there's more than tomatoes in the sauce, so the final yield will be pushing 10 litres. going by how much spaghetti sauce I use per individual meal, that's 44 servings.

(the recipe was for chili sauce, which i barely ever use, so it would last me a lifetime, or seven.)

be the recipe ever-so-good, as one who lives alone, I think the novelty would depart long before the last of the sauce.
