So it’s getting colder at night and I just picked my peppers. I didn’t know what to do with the ten sweet bell peppers I got off one plant. So I combined them with some store bought peppers and made 6 pints of sweet pickled peppers.
Now the question…what does one do with sweet pickled peppers?!”
Sandwiches?
I usually chop and freeze an excess of peppers, though.
Pizza or pasta topping?
I sent you a PM
Never thought of sandwiches! These are in vinegar (apple cider and white mix) and sugar brine with spices. I’m thinking they’re more like a pickle. Hmmm…
Possibly. Not sure. I’m going to google and see how other people use them.
Google says:
That’s what I got so far. That should keep me busy for a while!
Yeah, that sounds good on a ham sandwich.
Which reminds me I need to go dig up some horseradish for the winter….
Remember that free mini greenhouse we got last year?
It’s already deteriorated.
We’re working on an idea for next year, as we’ve got a lot of starts going in our house right now that should be outside.
DSIS#3 was visiting and only took four jars of canned goods. That’s good. I have lots, but she just wanted to try things. If she likes them, and we have some left mid-winter, she’ll come back for more. She brought us two large boxes of both cup and pint jars! Yay! Probably 2 dozen each kind. She can have canned goods if she wants them.
She also brought 2 jars of hm mustard pickles. I may give one of those to one of my daughters. We’ll see.
My garden is winding down. We repackaged dried spices into jars and zippered bags and put them in the cupboard. I still have nasturtiums, marigolds, kale and turnip growing in the garden. Also some Korean summer radish. Everything else is basically shot. My Swiss chard and beets are toast, thanks to deer. There are going to be a few changes next year.
Looks like all my pots are lining up in a row and I’ll have a big, ongoing, paid, garden project starting soon.
Planted garlic this morning. I was surprised by how dry the soil is - we’ve only had one or two days of rain this fall.
In the past I filled one of my three beds entirely with garlic. This year I left a gap of one row for sprouting broccoli and lettuce.
There is a garlic festival in the state this weekend… if I can swing it I am gonna go get interesting garlic varieties to plant!!
Not quite two months left for the ~2000 garlic we’ve got in the ground.
Very impatient to have the beds free for tomatoes.
Oooh soon I need to clear out the tomato bed and do garlic.
Just ordered a low chill cherry (minnie royal), black english mulberry and two apple trees (dwarf granny smith, pinkabelle).
Currently convincing Ponder we should remove some of the grass and make a new raised garden bed for the kids to grow berries in.
Managed to finalise a mission I’ve had since we moved here. A full woodshed.
I’ve seen seed starting soil on clearance, is there any reason not to buy it now and keep it until spring? Like are there nutrients in it that get less potent over time?
