Can you do the can can?

Canning supplies... Check
Victim.... figs



Gosh, I have spent the past hour looking for the perfect fig chutney recipe to make with these figs and have heeded advice for mom and can't seem to find one to use. So, I think I am goin gto do two batches. Though this is more tedious and time consuming, I have nothing but time here and two different flavors for two different occasions. I borrow all of Cindy's canning supplies and know that I will heat myself out of this little house I am in, but it is worth it for the fig! Hopefully this will only beginning of my canning and I hope to go mad with it while I am here to preserve as much unused food as possible. Then I will be able to share all of the goods with all of you!

Cindy also asked me today to develop some recipes and ideas for the fall market as to what we can make and sell with our growth. We are meeting on Monday to share plans. I am excited to get my hands dirty and start cooking!

I just made a gluten free pizza crust and am relaxing for a bit while the dough rises. I'm going to uses some of last season's canned pesto from our basil and pecans as the base of the pizza and then veg from our local farms. Can't wait!

Love to you all!

  2. Practice, practice, practice because Aunt Lori's huge fig tree at her Harborton house may be dripping with fruit eager to be chopped and chutney-ed when we visit in August.

    But first a question -- if a fig drops in a forest, does it make a noise if nobody hears it?

  3. I just have to add this. The jibberish word that blogger requires for posting the last comment was: offiged.

    Let's determine right here and now that we have discovered a new word, and "offiged" means "a fig tree that has been cleanly picked". I can't wait to hear that on the National Spelling Bee. "Offiged"... Word origin please??? "Offiged"...
