Welcome!
This is my first blog post in a very, very long time. My life has settled a bit, but not by much, so since I am now able to focus a bit more on my work, here I am! I will begin with my latest endeavour – which, by the way was a complete success:
Lilac Jelly – found on http://commonsensehome.com/how-to-make-lilac-jelly/ This recipe took me by surprise; a keeper for sure. I have wanted to make this jelly for 6 years but never had the time for it. It was so delicious – perfect with some ripe blue cheese on french stick or baguette. My husband and I have enjoyed on some of the hottest days with a cold platter and a beer for dinner.
I’m not much for creating my own preserve recipes. I have, instead, collected an arsenal of references and books on preserving, gardening, herbs, etc. My latest addition: The Dehydrator Bible (Mackenzie, Nutt & Mercer) Otherwise, I head online to see what everyone else is making and I will always tag or add link in my posts for you to get them.
This blog combines the best of my kitchen and garden exploits, with the highs and lows of urban homesteading-ish. Because: in the city, our only best bet is to just keep doing and growing.
Thanks for visiting, and happy sorta homesteading-ish!
