I am wondering though if you could omit the cornstarch gel stuff and just add less water to get the same consistency in the sauce? or a different thickener that is shelf stable?

The Wise Woman does not contain fenugreek. It is a sweet baking spice blend but because it uses a lot of Eastern spices we chose that name. <br /><br />RV Trip USA:<br />I love your comment and yes! You can totally re-pack into smaller quantity jars. I do that. If you send me an e-mail chef-tess@hotmail.com I have a chart that has all the quantities cross-referenced that one of my sweet students put together. You're more than welcome to it. Best wishes always.Chef Tesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14056350814296556107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2150369530381343686.post-11829846395609346052012-05-26T11:13:22.712-07:002012-05-26T11:13:22.712-07:00My daughter-in-law and I are looking forward to ma...My daughter-in-law and I are looking forward to making your jar recipes for our long term storage. I'll be halving them for pint storage. I look forward to your book on the meal jar recipes (a publication date yet?). Meanwhile, you might think about cross-referencing them for ingredients, like all recipes that use tomato powder, or all recipes that use freeze dried meats, etc. Since these items come in such huge quantities, a No. 10 can, could we just 'revacuum pack' unused quantities till our next jar-packing party?RV Trip USAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15945134386368306817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2150369530381343686.post-2738081994289907232012-05-25T12:55:31.325-07:002012-05-25T12:55:31.325-07:00One more question Tess - I apologize.

It is commonly used in Eastern cooking but I'm allergic to it and want to avoid it. I'm also operating on the assumption that all of your spices are free of msg. Is that accurate?

I thought I read something about a meal in a jar / 52 Method / food storage cookbook coming out soon but perhaps I was imagining things . . .
