This was the first 'country' recipe I received after moving away from the city—a farm wife neighbor shared it. I've made a few additions to it and gotten quite a few compliments. It's wonderful made with garden-fresh ingredients. Serve it with your favorite meat. —Jean Peterson, Mulliken, Michigan

This is pretty good, except a bit too sweet for us. Going to cut down on the sugar next time!

this is really, really good. I made a batch about 3 weeks ago and it's already almost gone. Great on burgers and hot dogs--my husband likes to eat it as is, just by itself!
