Took the MO Extension class on jam and pickle making this week. It was too much fun. I learned more than I can possibly ever remember...took lots of notes, particularly while watching the Pickle PowerPoint.
Made my first batch of blueberry jam this afternoon. Anxious to wait the 12-24 hours to determine how it turned out. Borrowed Donna's kitchen to fix the 12 jars of jam. Hopefully all the neighbors like blueberry!
The community garden at Crowder had less gardeners than expected this year. Gardening is one of those things I dream about and plan big in the fall, yet when the day comes to plant, I'm content to wait until the Farmer's Markets open for my fresh produce. Fortunately Darrel Hedricks has actively tilled, weeded, and watered his portion of the garden. More advantageous for use he shared an amazing bag of corn ears this weekend. They were the best we've had all summer.
Speaking of the Farmer's Market. I love our Market in Neosho. This weekend the Dexter and I fixed Marconi peppers stuffed with sauteed onions, tomatoes and Italian sausage - all vegetables supplied by the Market. Each week we've tried some new recipe or fell in love with a particular farmer's offerings.
