Photo Contest
http://www.thriftyfun.com/photo_contest.ldml
Our latest contest ended last night. We will announce the winners once we have published all the tips that were submitted to the contest. They should all be published within a week or two. We have lots of photos left so it will take a few weeks for all entries to be published. Thank you to everyone that entered. With that contest ending, a new one begins. We have added another category for Halloween tips.
Thanks for reading,
Susan

Recipe Requests
I have a recipe for fresh salsa. Can I seal it up in canning jars without cooking the tomatoes beforehand or does it have to be cooked?
Thanks!

A very dear friend of mine would like to have her mother's Ranch Aspic for dinner in a couple of weeks. Her mother has Alzheimer's and can't remember how she made it and I've searched the web with no results whatsoever.
My friend did say Campbell's Tomato Soup was used but doesn't know how the Ranch flavor was created. Can anyone help me? My friend is very sad about her mother and would like to salvage this recipe if we can.
Thanks so much in advance! (I will be posting more requests as well for other recipes her mother used to make if I can't locate a similar online.)

Tomato Ginger Upside-Down Cake
Ingredients
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Combine the melted butter with the ginger and sugar and spread evenly on the bottom of a 10 x 14 inch baking pan. Cover with tomato slices.
Meanwhile, in a mixer, cream the butter with the brown sugar and molasses.
In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder and spices.
Add flour mixture, alternately with the buttermilk to the creamed butter and sugar. Pour batter over tomatoes in baking pan.
Bake for approximately 40 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean when testing the center of the cake.
Remove from the oven, loosen outer edges with a knife and invert onto a platter larger than the baking pan. Let stand at least 5 minutes before trying to remove the pan. Serve warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
