Pineapple Peach Jam
Comments (11)My raspberries have been picked and are now frozen. Because I didn't have quite enough, I also picked a few leftover blueberries and some seedless grapes I was also growing. These will all go through my Villaware food strainer and thats when they get to become a seedless jam. Recently, I saw an interesting dried berry in Costco. Its called a Goji berry and the bag mentioned it was made with some pomagranite juice the Goji berries are soaked in. Its tart, and similar to appearance to dried cranberries (Craisins). I may also add a few of these goji berries to some of the red raspberry jam, and call that a mixed berry jam. The black raspberries I have are just now ripening too, so they also get into one of the batches....See MorePineapple Plant help
Comments (13)I repotted in september because I noticed bad drainage during the summer. The plant thrived, the summer heat probably makes it ok for it to be soggy. It's a couple years old and pretty big (didnt easily fit in the doorwall). The soil is miracle gro potting mix and I added extra perlite. I had a pineapple plant in a 1 gallon pot, but as it became enourmous it could not stand itself up and tipped over...it was upsetting because it was a sucker from my neighbors' parents' garden in India. Strange things seem to happen to my plants....See MoreMy New Pineapples
Comments (38)No problem. Those plants look very nice. Did you plant them out already? I made the mistake and waited two weeks before I planted out my last set and there was some rot. They all have survived thus far but I think they would have established faster not for the rot. Also, be careful when removing them from the test tubes. The first time I pulled on one and the leave popped off. Now I stick something down the tube to break up the agar before I pull on the plant. I think I might try tissue culturing myself one day. They sell tissue culture kits available online. Anyone in the forum ever try to micropropagate plants?...See MoreKiwi - the fruit not the bird
Comments (21)I love kiwifruit! I eat them out of hand, but they make the prettiest garnish for cakes and desserts, especially a pavlova with strawberries. Choose fruit of a good shape, light to medium brown and furry. It should yield to gentle pressure when squeezed. Eat when slightly soft. The skin is edible. Kiwifruit become sweeter after being picked. I use a small paring knife to peel them - once you get the knack of it, it's quite easy. I cannot imagine eating the skins!! I even peel apricots because I can't stand the furriness! But there's another method I haven't yet tried. Slice off both ends and use a dessertspoon (in your case it would have to be a tablespoon) to push the flesh from the skin. Some ways to use kiwifruit: Kiwifruit goes well in fruit salads, pavlova, ice cream cake and punches. Stir sliced kiwifruit into pasta, chicken and turkey salads. Eat sliced kiwifruit with low fat cheese and crackers. Use kiwifruit slices in a green salad. Mix chopped kiwifruit into pancake or waffle batter then top with additional slices. Use kiwifruit as a substitute for tomatoes in sandwiches, salads or salsa. Kiwifruit Sorbet 1 cup water 1/2 cup sugar 1/2 cup light corn syrup 4 kiwifruit, peeled 5 teaspoons lemon juice 1/4 teaspoon grated lemon rind Combine water, sugar and corn syrup in a saucepan, cook and stir for 2 minutes or until the sugar has dissolved. Puree the kiwifruit in a blender to make 3/4 cup puree. Add lemon juice, rind and sugar mix. Pour into a shallow metal pan and freeze for 1 hour or until firm but not solid. Spoon into a chilled bowl and beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Return to freezer and freeze for 2 hours....See Moredecadude
