Probably. My stone has since cracked. I’ve been using a cast iron skillet; I can put it in the oven to preheat.

This looks like a great and easy recipe, but I don’t own a stone. Could I bake the bread on a regular cookie sheet?

I generally don’t use bleach for anything, so I’ve never had a problem.

Have you had any problems using this with clothes you bleached? I read on another page where a woman accidentally made mustard gas with her vinegar based fabric softener. i would love to try this!

Would it be okay to use your image of the quart jar of grease and bacon fat in an article I’m writing “Bacon Fat and the Healthy Oils?” I’d be happy to give you photo credit.

Comment on September Can Jam~Spiced Peach Jam by aastricker

Jams without pectin don’t sually set very thick, if you cook them too long, they turn to taffy. I left the cinnamon stiks in and let them steep, but I LOVE cinnamon.
