Cran-Banana Jam

I found an error in our Nomemade cookbook and I wanted to post the correction here.

Use 1 1/2 cups of water NOT 1/2 cup.

The full corrected recipe is listed below...

3 1/2 cups mountain cranberrries (aka lingonberries)
1 1/2 cups water
2 cups mashed bananas
7 cups sugar
3 oz. Certo liquid pectin

Simmer the cranberries and water together, in a large saucepan, for 7 minutes.  Add the bananas and sugar, and bring the mixture to a boil.  Add the Certo, and bring it back to a boil for 1 minute.  Remove the jam from the heat, and pour into clean jars for sealing.

Bamboo Shoot and Pork Soup (Naw Mai Moo Nam)

Thai Translation - Naw Mai = Bamboo Shoot, Moo = Pork, Nam = Water This soup is a distinctly northern dish. It is made with fresh bamboo shoots that are cut from the base of certain types of bamboo plants. The shoots are then shredded and boiled with pork bones to make a delicate soup with soft pork meat.
