Produce from the neighbourhood..


 Fall is in the making and it is time to take care of the rich supply of produce of our immediate surroundings..
 
Yesterday I preserved some of the garden´s pears in ginger and dark rum.
Next to the jar are the lovely chanterelles!

 
  My daughter and her husband - both great cooks! - are visiting and last night they were unpacking a late wedding gift: An Alessio espresso brewer ..

 
Lina is preparing the marvellous dessert based on the apples from the garden.
 
  Pontus is frying the chanterells from to go with the freshly fished cod from the Baltic nearby..
 
Everything on the dinner plate from last night is produced in the immediate neighbourhood. Only the wine came from South Africa. My own grapes in the garden are far from ripe unfortunately. Will they be before winter?
This is my first year on the farm and there are so many things to find out and discover as the seasons turns..

This morning, the fisherman knocked on my door quite early asking if I would like to buy some flounders! Oh do I feel priviledged to live on Gotland!
A
nice and culinary weekend to you all!
