Banana Splits seem to have no set recipe, people make their own versions very often. So what's your recipe for the nicest Banana Split? I would like to try some of them out!

I am trying to find some information on canning high-sugar foods using the water bath method. I have read that high-sugar food are not a risk for botulism, only mold, yeast and spoilage so they can be canned using the water bath method.

However I am trying to find some good information on what "high sugar" is. I want to can some "dulce de leche" (caramel sauce) and I really can't imagine anything much higher in sugar than a caramel. However most sources seem to say you can't can caramel, most of them state because it contains dairy. Well that is clearly incorrect as you can can lemon curd using the water bath method and it contains butter and eggs (and I worked for a catering company that did this and despite using the dumbest water bath method involving a steamer table that had trouble achieving a real boil it always passed health board testing)

So does anyone have any info on how to tell if something is "high" enough in sugar?

Have you canned caramel sauce?

I'm baking a birthday cake for my mum's birthday on Boxing Day. It's going to be made from a Victoria Sandwich recipe and then iced - if I bake it today, and store it in an air tight container, roughly how long will it be edible for? Should I put it in the freezer and defrost it the night before (without the icing on)?

whioch made me feel they came out crunchy but the next time i ate it such that i carefully avoided biting into sugar that came in the way concentrated on the non sugar part which felt kindof chewy...my question is will it turn out to be ok the next time if i liquidise the brown sugar(keeping it on stove over low heat) and then using it in the same recipe??

Do I use boiling onions or what kind? Do I boil them first and then make a white sauce? Should I use cream or just milk in the sauce?

I need to make something simple without buying anything else. I only have simple ingredients like flour, eggs, milk, sugar, salt, and butter.

Saw a show on tv today, guys climbing a mountain. They stopped for the night and made "Fried Bread" NOT deep fried, just a little bit of oil in a pan and dough. Anyone know where I can find how to make this? Looked so good, just want to try.

My 9 year old daughter (standing behind me as I type this) is trying to prepare for her science fair project "How To Make The Best Peanut Butter & Jelly Sandwich" - Step one is taste tests - step two is actually constructing the sandwich. How do you make your favorite PB & J sandwich? Please be as descriptive as possible. ie... kind of bread, brand of peanut butter, brand & flavor of jelly, jam or preserves.

(These survey results will be printed for my 9 year old daughters use in conducting her taste tests.)

Thank you all for your help - it is much appreciated.

I followed a recipe, then when they turned out horrible, I looked for other recipes, and they were all very similar. I have had fantastic Spritz cookies, so why were mine so bad when I followed the recipe? My mother told me it was probably because I used generic store brand butter.....
