I found out about another great book! Charcuterie: The Craft of Salting, Smoking, and Curing. I’m so excited to work on some of these recipes! Duck sausage and duck prosciutto…Oh, my! I have big plans for the last 6 ducks that need to be butchered! While leafing through the recipes I found one for steam [...]

She Put By Tomato Skins September 13, 2011
Posted in Locavore, Putting Food By, recipe on September 13, 2011 | 1 Comment »
I have now finished canning 250 pounds of tomatoes. Over 80 quarts! I don’t do anything fancy. I just canned them diced. I find this to be the most versatile way, and while some have pointed out that canning them into sauce saves jars, I don’t mind walls of beautiful red jars glowing from their [...]
She Took Inventory April 1, 2011

Certainly there are a couple months left before the garden will be producing, and a few before we have fresh tomatoes, or tree fruit, but I thought April 1st would be a good day to check my canned goods inventory. I took inventory on October 1 so 6 months later I thought I’d see where [...]

I'm not as likely to participate, as my friend Jessica, her house is different almost everytime I visit, but I do like a good "Furniture Rearranging Session". Even if it's the same old stuff, it looks completely different when it's in, even a slightly different spot. Today I commandeered the wardrobe that we've been using [...]
She Canned Fun Stuff! October 20, 2010

I wouldn't have picked to be doing "fun" canning today, as I have a list of not as fun things, that really need to get done, but it was necessary. I have pears and tomatillos that need to be processed before they go bad, and I had specific things in mind. I didn't know if [...]
She Salvaged Basil October 18, 2010

I am a procrastinator. It is one of the things that drives me a bit crazy, about myself. My basil is outside my front door. It is easy to access, right on the edge of the path, so why haven't I picked it yet? I have no idea. When I went out one day last [...]
She Canned More Food October 14, 2010

How many days in a row can I use the same title? Another long day of canning. I got less done, but I did stop to work and actually made dinner tonight, where yesterday Husband took the girls to Chipotle's, while Jessica and I mused about the absurdity of my family having to eat out, [...]

Apple Sauce (24) Grape Juice (39) More Canning. The grapes were done by putting 1 cup of squished grapes into a quart jar, adding 1/4 cup honey, filling with boiling water, then put in a Water Bath for 25 minutes. These will sit on the shelf until January, giving the grape flavor time to develop. [...]

Brookford Farm, where I get my dairy products, had a Party today! Quark is a cheese type item and today was a whole festival centering around this wonderful treat. We went as a family, and the girls loved it. Mini was so excited to go on the hayride. We took a farm tour, via a [...]
She Spent the Day in the Kitchen with Irma and some Tough Ole’ Hens October 9, 2010

I finally did something with Irma. I've been feeding her, but have not made anything with her for a while now, besides an occasional batch of sourdough crepes. But today I pulled her out and used her to make a batch of sourdough Cheese Crackers, English Muffins and some oatmeal muffins! Everything came out great. [...]
