In May? Yeah, things start rolling early here. Above is a veg lasagna Dave made Monday. I believe it boasted our own basil, squash, and zucchini. So good. But we can't keep making lasagna or I'll be big, like a house.
Gotta put up some goodies.
On my weekend to-do list:
- attend a local preserving workshop
- pull out + clean our canning equipment
- make a list of needed pieces (lids for odd jars, jars for odd lids, extra courage)
Things we expect to get a lot of:
- cherry tomatoes
- plum tomatoes
- peppers
- cucumbers
- squash
- zucchini
- basil
Currently looking up recipes of sauces, chutneys, pickles, etc, for our garden stuffs. But I want to take advantage of awesome, random sales at our local produce outlet, so jams, jellies, and curds, too.
What are your favorite preserves? Did one of your relatives make them, or did you discover them on your own? Will you make preserves this year, too?
2 ate pie:
I canned and pickled last year for the first time and plan to do so again. When my daughter tasted my sandwich pickles, she said, "Wow! These taste even better than real pickles!"
Haha! Now she knows that yours are the real pickles. :)
