Yesterday´s "harvest" from my garden- proudly presented!I am now browsing for all kinds of recipies on "How to make fruit syrup of rhubarbs and that lovely plum marmelade my sister-in-law Ann used to serve with rusks at tea time.." This is all great undertakings but sooo very time consuming! For an old unexperienced "city slicker" like me!
Needless to say, my deep freezer is filling up with jam, marmelades and juices..
Makes you feel quite rich! Satisfied..
In my cellar I recently noticed all the hooks mounted on to the celing. For hanging rabbits and deer after the hunt. The rumor has it that he people who used to live in my present surroundings were rarley seen in any stores. They were quite self contained with milk,eggs, fowls, game from the woods, etc.
Well, good for them!
I feel quite happy with my berries and fruits! And I don´t mind going to the stores once in a while!
But..I have a baking machine! I might try to set a dough in it to make rusks to match the marmelades.
Maybe next year..
