Mr CP isn’t particularly keen on Bonne Maman jam and doesn’t understand why I buy it.

Many reasons…

I like the WW2 story.

I really like their raspberry conserve.

But I really, really like that the labels come off their jars in the dishwasher. And that’s the main reason why I buy Bonne Maman.

Before any I go off and teach myself flutter or some such... Has anyone made an rpg inventory style app for keeping track of home #preserving ?

I totally want to gamify my slow descent into being a prepper... I will learn flutter if I have to

Andrea Borsvold: Greek yogurt zucchini bread is a new favorite of mine – Grand Forks Herald

I went to the garden to pick some basil for homemade pizza the other day and came in with three green peppers, six…

Hey Gus

More prickly pear processing!

This time I made all the decisions so I’m quartering them and stewing them with no other ingredients. Ideally fresh lemons, but probably just some citric acid if I can find some.

I really miss having access to a steam juicer as this would be the correct tool. Food mill and chinois will do.

Also the colloquial American name for chinois is still “china cap”

I thought the only way to preserve tomatoes was to cook them down into a sauce, but last year we just froze a load of fresh cherry tomatoes from the garden and it's worked out perfectly. We just washed, dried and bagged them.

They don't defrost back to fresh state obviously but are great for cooking with.
I just grab a handful from a bag, microwave for a minute and chuck them in a pasta or a curry or whatever.

I was looking at this Cumquat Ferment today, but it is only slightly different to Preserved Cumquats (the same way you do lemons), but with (not needed) fancy equipment. I'd rather make them my way.

I've made preserved lemons, limes and cumquats for decades (citrus, salt, lemon/lime juice) without realising they are actually fermented. I've just capped them off and left them on the shelf until I've wanted to use them It is only when I started looking at fermenting things that I realised.

They are SO delicious. So much better than any you can buy these days. They are out of fashion now, so selections are slim and not such good quality.

I use mine several times per week.

They originated in China, and weren't introduced to the Western world until the mid-nineteenth century. In China, kumquats are called “Gam Gat Sue.” Gam sound like the Chin

#Introduction
I've been on Mastodon for quite some time now, but under another name. I started a new account because I decided to take a step back from world news, collapse, climate change, hunger, war, fascism and inequality.
In short less doom and gloom and a little bit of positive small scale projects that might also inspire or help others.

With this account I'll focus more on my day to day life, the things I do and make.

Of course I sometime still will post concerning subjects that provoke my rage or frustration. Sorry, it's not all moonshine and roses.

Having said that, I've a broad range of subjects that have my interest, so hopefully something useful will stick with you.

From my profile text:

#Collapse aware person, born @ 320 ppm CO2, world population 3.1 billion.

Fighting depression and #sadness by doing some positive and small scale things that might help people.

It was almost too much new-to-me stuff to pull it off, but I did it!

#Canning violet and redbud jellies today. I used my new pressure canner as a water bath canner(no pressure, obvs), and it was almost a little too tall on the new stove.

I got a couple of steam burns and one burn on my arm from the edge of the canner. So, lesson learned. I really should use my water bath canners only for this, because they are shorter and wider.

I also used a different pectin, and new-to-me recipes for both jellies. I really need to write down my favorites cause it's hard to find them again with the internet being so enshittified.

I must've had a sugar fairy visit, because I didn't buy enough, but I found more in the cabinet. 🤷🧚‍♂️

I should not have put the hibiscus flowers in the violet tea to color it. The jelly is gorgeous, but it's not purple.

I still have enough dark purple violets that I may be able to make another batch later this week after it stops raining. I will have to go get more sugar and jars, though.

I think if I make the second batch, I will remove the green part of the violet flowers first, which means I'll need to pick twice as many flowers.

I made a sugar syrup last week with only purple violet petals and it is astoundingly purple.
