Digging for Gold
Julie | November 1, 2011
A (pretty nearly) final gardening update for the 2011 growing season: carrots, beets, and potatoes!
Apple a Day
Julie | October 17, 2011
I love using every part of a purchase! In this case, the scraps from canning applesauce became apple jelly, and the cores from making dried apple rings became cider vinegar.
Honeyed Plums
Julie | October 16, 2011
Italian prune plums are halved and canned in a bath of sweet spices and honey syrup—these gorgeous preserves will be well-appreciated come winter!
Out of the Wild
Julie | October 13, 2011
From wild plums growing in the greenbelt to jars of orange jam in my pantry.
Dregs
Julie | September 29, 2011
The last grape post of the season—canning syrup and pie filling, baking pies, and straining homemade vinegar!
Tomato Bisque
Julie | September 28, 2011
Roasted tomato bisque with potato latke melts and pickled peppers, a warming autumn meal.
Ombre
Julie | September 16, 2011
Tons of grape jelly made from homemade juice strained through a pillowcase—this was quite the project!
Juicy
Julie | September 8, 2011
Preserving the grape harvest with lots of canning: jam, jelly, juice, and even vinegar!
Stalking Rhubarb
Julie | May 25, 2011
Homegrown rhubarb and the first jams of the year: strawberry-rhubarb with cinnamon and cherry-rhubarb with vanilla.
