For this one, we had a few of the early season jars of apple sauce that didn’t quite work out right and had turned a bit at the top. We’d water bathed them (learned, it’s needed) to break the cycle which was fine, but I figured we’d just pull them, scoop the top and make apple butter out of the rest.
Apple Butter
9 quarts of Applesauce
2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon of allspice
4 cups sugar
[note] Since I...

So what do you do when there are still tomatoes on the vines but frost is coming in fast? Well, you do a mad dash harvest run!
So, now that you have so many green cherry tomatoes, what then? Why, whip up a batch of green cherry tomato pickles!
Was the wifes’ idea to do that… Still got plenty of tomatoes on hand however, so tomorrow I’m going to dig up everything I need to make some green (and some red) tomato ketchup. :)
Still got plenty of figs on the f...

Mix together 4 cups of oats, 2 tbs butter, 1/2tsp cinnamon and 3 tbs dark brown sugar. Mix by hand until butter is all through. place it over top of ...

In this picture I put the following in a medium roast pan:
1 bone-in skin-on Chicken breast seasoned with seasalt, pepper and garlic granules (optional)Fresh garden vegetab...

Fall is so busy, it can be hard to keep up with everything. So, it goes, right? And, heck, it really isn’t even fall yet…even if the sun is getting lower and lower on the horizon by the minute and setting earlier and earlier each evening. Still, the days are shorter and getting everything done seems harder.
Following are a few things you might enjoy:- Tomato and sandwich recipes, plus thoughts on throwing out food- Controlling Leaf Miners—those suckers love to hit our fal...
