**************************************************
I was able to get a little bit of preserving done this week
which makes me quite happy. I was really feeling like I wasn’t getting much put
away for winter, but after the past week I am feeling a little better about
that.
I am linking up with Robin over at The Gardener of Eden for
Thursdays Kitchen Cupboard
After getting some new flour I had a bit of a baking day on Saturday. I made my zucchini bread which was heavy as heck, but quite yummy. I plan to make a few more loaves and freeze them for later.
forgot to take a picture when it looked nice and yummy...this little bit is all that is left...lol
I also made 2 loafs of Swiss farmers bread. It was pretty darn great too. However, I should have turned the 2 huge loaves into 4...lol Oh well live and learn right. One is already gone and the other is in the freezer.
I finally had enough ripe tomatoes to make my first batch of
salsa. I was a little runnier that I would have liked and a little hotter,
however I think it will still taste pretty darn great. I was able to get 8
500ml jars
I also decided to freeze just about all of the cauliflower
and broccoli that I showed you on Monday. I should have enough now to get us
though a few months.
last night I picked the remainder of my broad beans, blanched and froze them. I just made 1C bags this time and will use them in soups
Today's plan is to can some bruschetta and maybe get a bit of sewing done :)
My list of things that I still need to can/freeze this year are
Tomato sauce 40
Whole tomatoes 30
Salsa 16
Taco Sauce 10
Beets- might just freeze these
Carrots-freeze
Much smaller than last year, but still quite a bit!
Have a great day
It looks like you have been busy. I hope to get some celery frozen next week. I might even can some onions. I hope so.
ReplyDeleteYou sure have been busy! Looks great!
ReplyDeleteYou'll have to give us your recipe for French Farmer's Bread! Do you use a starter for it?
ReplyDeleteYour salsa looks great all bottled up and ready for the pantry....I am only just nursing along my tomato seedlings ready to be planted out in about 6 weeks time so I'm along way off from making any sauces.
ReplyDeleteSwiss farmer's bread sounds interesting..............
Mmmm, salsa... Ok, now I want to make some nice bubbling enchildas. Too bad I have none if the ingredients in the house.
ReplyDeleteThe swiss bread sounds good. Care to share a recipe?
You got 100% more put up for the winter than me. Good job!!
