I've been enjoying being back in the Northwest and using my "free" time to start putting things up. Last week saw the addition of 10 new jars to our cupboards. I made 7 1/2 pints of blackberry jam (and have now given 2 away), one jar of brandied cherries, one jar of blueberry-basil vinegar, and one jar of blackberry infused gin!
In addition, the rest of the flat and a half of blackberries is resting the freezer along with about a quart of frozen blueberries, 3 or 4 containers of red beans, and 2 containers of chicken broth. Oh! and also 2 portions of carnitas. And rosemary salt!
On my putting up wish list...
- apricot-rosemary jam (using our rosemary outside)
- pickled dilly beans (at least one whole batch, maybe 2)
- huckleberries if I can get them
- peaches? plums? either to freeze or turn into jam
- limoncello (we gave away all of our before moving away from Iowa) I have 2 bottles of Everclear waiting so maybe also an arancello?
- bags of frozen shredded chicken for enchiladas etc
- bagels (frozen)
- par baked bread (frozen)
- yogurt (I guess you don't really put this up... but I miss the taste of homemade yogurt)
- marmalade (I keep reading recipes for this and want to try)
- dried hot peppers from the garden, and maybe a small batch of hot pepper jelly?
- something with the massive quantity of tomatoes soon to arrive... freezing? drying? canning? tomato jam?
