What Have You Put Up 2010
Comments (106)Annie, I'm sure the wedding was a huge hit, especially the hab gold cheescakes! Meanshile, I FINALLY canned this year! Woo hoo! Better yet, I spread the canning virus---made 8 half-pints of strawberry jam with a friend who'd never canned before. Bought the strawberries from the farmer same day, and boy did it turn out well. The set is a little soft (we used a recipe from the Bernardin book that calls for cooking up whole apples w/ the pith of a lemon rather than using commercial pectin or going for the long boil), but it's still quite spreadable and VERY yummy. I definitely made a new canning convert. And I'm excited that I'll have a canning buddy nearby for those marathon sessions of tomato or peach peeling! I've had a CRAZY spring work-wise, on the road a lot, didn't even start any tomato seedlings (for each of the past 10 years I've started at least a hundred). But I bought some and was kindly given some and FINALLY got the last of them into the ground, so hopefully there will be some tomato canning, even though some of the harvest will be late. It felt so good to spend all of yesterday in the garden and the canning kitchen! Z...See MoreMango recipe?
Comments (24)Hey Carol I have not tried the blueberry banana jam yet, but I am in full blown preserving season. I am not planning on both fixing fresh fruits and making jams through customers like I did last year lol. I also have to empty my three fruit freezers if I am to freeze more stuff this year. On the upside, the weather is nice and cool to make preserves and I can try any fruit combination since I have about 25 different kinds of fruits available. Next two weeks will be devoted to orange marmalade, probably 400 jars of it. It's a good seller but takes a hell of a long time to make. I find strawberries, raspberries and blueberries very assertive. I like the peach raspberry jam I make, and I made the same recipe with peach and blueberry. Not too much sugar either, they are probably the jams I make with the least sugar, but at least, I don't follow recipes with pectin. My rhubarb strawberry jam contains about 85% rhubarb, otherwise you cannot taste the rhubarb for the strawberries. Wonder how banana and bluberries will fare. I am thinking less blueberries, more banana but who knows. I got five cases of bananas last week so I must use them up too, I guess strawberry banana and chocolate banana jams are in order, and they are yummy too. I also make one with apples, banana oranges and lemons, which is pretty good. The more books I look at, the more I read here, the more work I have to do lol. So many recipes, so little time.... Anyway, I will let you know how this mango lime taste like but not today, since I had to go get the limes but we have a storm. Time to go figure out what I did last year when I made mango orange vanilla jam.... have a great day Marie...See MoreThe Size of Mahachanok Tree vs. NamDocMai#4
Comments (18)For most americans, the nam doc mai is an acquired taste. The NDM is a very sweet mango, and to the american palate lacks the acidity. When very ripe it also develops a bit of a 'vegetable' flavor (hard to describe). It took me a couple of years before I fell in love with the NDM. The hispanics, islanders, etc don't have that problem - they go bezerk for the NDM the minute they try it :-). There's no one size fits all mango since here in South Florida, we do have such a diverse culture. Jeff...See MoreWhat Would You Miss The Most?
Comments (40)I'm living abroad and on a subtropical island where many of the items mentioned can be grown so I'd miss different things. Coffee trees are for sale in the local nurseries and I've seen one growing in a friend's garden. Knowing when to harvest and how to toast the beans would be something folks would have to learn, as coffee growing is just for hobbyists and is not an industry here. Bananas will also grow in every garden, as will papayas and other tropical fruits, such as mango. I have a cinnamon plant growing in a pot but I also don't know how to harvest it as it's always green. Perhaps cocoa would also grow here. But I'd miss the other cold climate fruits such as apples which will grow here at higher elevations up the mountain but presently not in such quantity for it to be a commercial enterprise. I'd miss some imported German and English sauces and Wolf would miss German sausages. And of course we'd both miss the occasional European chocolate bar. I think we could manage living from locally grown produce, fish from the islands (although I'd miss salmon) and local poultry. Certainly folks would have to grow a few more things in their gardens though. And they'd have to get rid of a few hotels and golf courses in order to give the land back to the farmers lol.
