Canning Strawberries
Canning strawberries as whole and in-fact fruit is almost impossible as the fruit are very soft and have very high water content. The same is true when it comes to freezing them. The best method by far is to preserve them as jam and then can this. You can do this carefully and in such a way so as to keep the fruit as whole as possible.
It is not impossible to be successful when canning strawberries, but you will probably find that they will lose some of the flavour and much of their colour as a result of the process. This will vary between varieties and people are always trying to find the most suitable variety for successful canning.
Can the fruit in the usual way using rapid processing in a rotary cooker for the best results or 6 - 10 minutes at 100 degrees centigrade in other cookers. Follow this with thorough and fast cooling. After canning strawberries, cover the jars with paper to keep the light out. This will improve the shelf life. These can then be used for making deserts or even eating as they are. They are a wonderful with waffles!
Strawberry jam is a lovely way of preserving and canning strawberries and can also be used for deserts as well as with bread, waffles or scones. It is also when used with cream as a sandwich filling for sponge cakes. It is best to use pectin for making strawberry jam to ensure that it sets to a good consistency. The best pectin is to use is the 'low sugar' or even 'no sugar' varieties as these will give a stronger strawberry flavour to your preserve.
Many strawberry jam recipes suggest that you mash the fruit. This is a matter of choice and some people will prefer to find whole strawberries in the jar. If you mash the fruit you will probably end up with a thicker consistency but I do think that it is lovely to find some whole fruit when preserving or canning strawberries. I love it when you are lucky enough to find a complete strawberry appear on a scone, it is a little like winning at the luck dip! Do not feel that you have to stick rigidly to the recipe when it comes to the amount of sugar that you add. Try the strawberries first and if you think that they are quite sharp then you may wish to add a little more sugar. Likewise, if you prefer a sharp strawberry flavour, you could reduce the measurement slightly. The flavour of the fruit can very tremendously from variety to variety and also depending on where and when they were picked.
Whatever your choice of preserving, making jam or canning strawberries is a wonderful way to keep a little taste of summer for those dark and cold winter tea times.

Solving The 6 Biggest Mistakes Faced When Baking Bread
Baking Mistake #1
The most common mistake by far would be when you forgot to add salt when you mould your dough.
The outcome is that this results in a really bland bread, and affects the rising of the dough even - Causing your bread to lie flat on top.
My solution to you is for you to post "stick-ups" and notes on places like your kitchen wall, fridge, recipe book, next time so that you will never ever have to forget about adding salt to your dough again! Don't sacrifice a good bake because of poor memory!
Baking Mistake #2
When people heat up their kettles and water to add yeast in, they often accidentally leave it overheated. This is a huge mistake! It will destroy the yeast and your bread will not rise.
You can correct this by investing a little in a good old cooking thermometer. That will make your temperature measurements and life so much easier for you!
Baking Mistake #3
Another common mistake is when people allow the bread dough to over rise, which then leads to it having to fall.
This happens many a time when people forget about their dough. As everyone gets a little busy, worked up, and over-excited - Who doesn't forget little things as such?
Yet so, don't worry! Solution: If the bread is already on the pans when it over rises, just use a simple pair of kitchen scissors to cut off all the excess dough on the unbaked sides of the loaves.
Next, you segregate and roll the dough into small little balls of dough. Be patient, allow them to rise from about 20 to 30 minutes on a cookie sheet (oiled), then bake them on 350F for about 15 to 25 minutes as the bread rolls.
Remember to allow the loaves of dough to rise for another 10 minutes extra before having it baked extremely flat on top.
Baking Mistake #4
Your bread gets burned. Yes, nothing can get any worse than bread black as charcoal!
To avoid that, have yourself be sure that you follow all baking times and temperatures strictly like a work timetable/routine. Again, do not be shy to make the timer your best friend - it could and would save your bread from getting roasted!
Also, keep in mind that temperatures vary from different oven types (Gas to electric). Therefore, make sure the temperatures used are constant in whatever oven you're baking with.
Baking Mistake #5
Don't forget about air bubbles when you bake! "Pockets" they call it, creates large holes inside the bread after it's done baking. This makes your bread very fluffy and gives it poor texture and taste. It loses the aroma and quality as well.
The best solution would be to pinch those "pockets" whenever you notice them occurring in your baking dough before having it baked. This will inflate any such bubbles and save your bread from deterioration.
Baking Mistake #6
Ok......last but not least, what flour should you use? Should you add some sunflower seeds? Add rye with oregano, and honey?
I know every once in awhile everyone likes to get creative but be sure to know your ingredients well before you attempt to jumble them all up and have them mixed! Imagine baking a large amount of loaves for your family on a weekend only to have them look you in the eye in dismay and disappointment of weird tasting bread they have had to put up with. Be sure to experiment with small amounts of such dough/ingredients in advance before you attempt to bake it large and huge in quantity!
Now I'm sure you know what to do and what not-to-do! Know your ingredients well, keep the 6 deadly
mistakes of bread baking in mind - and you're on the way to becoming a great successful bread maker!
Have fun and share with your friends about your baking adventures today.

Focaccia Bread is a Tiny Pizza Clone
Anyone that has had the pleasure of enjoying a trip to a fine Italian bakery knows just how wonderful it is to smell the fresh Focaccia bread coming out of the ovens. This bread that is shaped very much like a small plump pizza, is actually a distant cousin of the pizza and some may even have a hard time telling the two apart. This is because this bread can actually have very similar toppings on it that can make it look just like a tiny pizza. While they are very much alike, the fact is that they are not the same and do have different places in the Italian cuisine circles.
Tiny Disks Of Bread Topped In Oils
Focaccia bread can be found just about anywhere today, and if you frequent any bakeries more than likely you have actually considered purchasing a couple from time to time. This is actually a natural experience, as many people assume that these wonderful tiny plump disks of bread soaked in oils can taste very similar to pizza. There are multiple types of breads to be had in a bakery, and each one has its own distinct flavor. One thing is certain however, that they all appear to be in the pizza family. You would be anything but disappointed if you were to purchase some of these fine breads, as they make for great lunchtime loaves, or they can even be stuffed with other ingredients to make excellent sandwiches.
Great On Their Own
If you happen to be eyeing wonderful Focaccia bread in the bakery, do not hesitate to purchase it. You will quickly find that this great is absolutely fantastic all on its own, and you do not need to do anymore than what has already been done. Most of the time these great breads have been basted with a fine Italian olive oil, and then garnished with sweet red peppers that have been grilled. Top this off with some fine sliced green olives, and sometimes even onions and you have practically a meal all on their own. Many people even elect to slice these fine breads along the side of the small loaf, and then stuff them with pieces of lettuce and tomatoes. This makes for a fine light meal that can be had for lunch or even a light dinner with a great soup.
Give Them A Chance
If you have been one of the curious about this delightful tiny pizza like breads known as Focaccia, then you really should give them a chance. You will not believe that all this time you have passed them by, for other great treats that the bakery offers. This is a fantastic food that the Italians have been enjoying for hundreds of years, and it is something that will most likely continue as these great little oil soaked breads are still a favorite with the Italian communities regardless of actually location. Takes some time and take a chance of a couple of these delightful breads, you can serve them with wine and cheeses and they will be a much bigger hit than you would imagine.

Panasonic SD-RD250 Automatic Bread Maker with Fruit/Nut Dispenser
!±8± Panasonic SD-RD250 Automatic Bread Maker with Fruit/Nut Dispenser
Microprocessor controlled for even baking, special "dispenser" for addition of nuts or fruits, 5 baking modes basic/bake/French/pizza/pasta, 2 loaf sizes (M or Xl), diamond fluorine non-stick coated pan, large lcd readout, 13-hour preset timer, white.
From the Manufacturer
No need to live above a bakery to enjoy the warm aroma of freshly baked bread on a daily basis. Equipped with an array of user-friendly features, this automatic bread machine by Panasonic makes baking fresh, healthy homemade bread--and much more--easier than ever. Now anyone can enjoy the simple pleasure of freshly baked homemade bread--without the time-consuming efforts normally associated with kneading and baking bread. Just add ingredients, press a few buttons, and it takes care of the rest.

Easily Bake Bread or Create Dough
The bread maker mixes, kneads, rises, and bakes bread in two loaf sizes--medium and extra large, plus offers crust color control with light and dark options to accommodate individual preferences. Its digital control panel with a large easy-to-read LCD display makes it simple to select the loaf size and crust shade, as well as the baking mode. Choose from five different modes: Basic, French, Pasta, Pizza Dough, and Bake Only. The Basic mode works well for a variety of breads, including white and whole wheat; French mode bakes up delicious French bread with a soft interior and crispy exterior--perfect for pasta night. Speaking of, Pasta mode makes several different types of homemade pasta dough--there's nothing quite like homemade pasta. Use the Pizza Dough mode for creating homemade pizza dough in just 45 minutes, or use the Bake Only mode when it's time to bake a cake for a birthday celebration or delectable tea breads to serve with tea when visiting with a friend.


Even more, the bread maker allows for baking a variety of white or whole-wheat bread for slicing and slathering with butter and jam or for making healthy sandwiches to put in the kids' lunches during the week. Or, make bread dough for shaping by hand and baking in the oven. The versatile machine produces delicious results without the additives and preservatives found in store-bought brands.
Best of all, the bread maker comes with a programmable timer that can be set up to 13 hours in advance, which means it's possible to wake up in the morning to the smell of freshly baked cinnamon-raisin bread. Or set the timer before leaving for work in the morning so that a warm loaf of rosemary bread will be ready and waiting after a long day at the office. Simply slice it up and serve with dinner.

Unique Raisin & Nuts Dispenser
The bread machine also provides a unique dispenser that automatically drops up to 5.29 ounces (150 grams) of raisins, dried fruits, or nuts into the bread dough at just the right time for thorough, even distribution. When compared to other bread machines, the SD-RD250 turns out loaves with an even scattering of raisins, instead of a clump in one section and bare sections elsewhere. The handy dispenser can also be removed from the machine for convenient washing between uses.
Innovative Design for Professional Results
Unlike other bread machines, the unit does not offer a viewing window. The absence of a viewing window creates a more even reflection of heat inside the unit, which offers the following three advantages: excellent crust, good rising, and even color.
Healthy and Nutritious

Baking bread at home allows for ultimate control over the finished product. By using only the freshest ingredients and making choices from a variety of options, homemade bread can be an important part of a well-balanced diet--for both young and older family members alike. High in fiber and low in fat, bread contains a wealth of beneficial components. It provides complex carbohydrates needed for energy, protein for strong muscles, and vitamins and minerals, including calcium and iron for healthy bones and teeth. Add nutrient-rich eggs to the recipe or choose whole-grain flour for an extra boost of fiber, iron, vitamins, and minerals. Mixing in nuts and dried fruits not only add to the pleasing consistency and taste of the finished product, but they're also another way to add to the overall health factor.
Durably Built with Diamond-Fluorine-Coated Baking Pan

The bread maker provides an inner bread pan with a generous loop handle for easy removal (use an oven mitt when hot). The rugged pan also features a diamond-fluorine coating for even heating and scratch-resistant, long-lasting use. In fact, the hard diamond particles, which cover both the surface of the kneading blade and the bread pan, are twice as hard as fluorine resin for unbeatable performance. For added convenience, the pan's nonstick interior ensures effortless food release--dough removes without sticking to the pan and fully cooked cakes and loaves of bread slide out smoothly from the pan and onto a cutting board for slicing and serving. The pan's nonstick coating also makes cleanup a snap.
The small appliance comes in a slim, compact design that takes up minimal space on the kitchen countertop. Keep it out for everyday use or store it on a shelf or in the pantry when finished. Awarded the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval, the 550-watt automatic bread maker measures 14.6 by 11.1 by 12.8 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty. Accessories include a measuring cup, measuring spoon, and recipe booklet with great tasting ideas for getting started.
