Autumn Produce – Rhubarb Wine and Quince Cheese

March 3, 2017April 2, 2017Leave a comment

We’ve been given some lovely quinces, the first of the season. Time to make quince cheese then! The now much-used recipe is in A Year on the Farm. I’ve given a table there for making the cheese in the microwave. It's less messy and far quicker than the stovetop method. Interestingly, same quinces, same microwave, same … Continue reading Autumn Produce – Rhubarb Wine and Quince Cheese

Tasmanian Pepperberries – black gold!

February 28, 2017April 2, 20175 Comments

Yes, black gold indeed!  We planted Tasmanian pepperberries outside the cooking school after the potoroos, wallabies and possums considered the vegetable garden we originally planted there were part of a lovely smorgasbord for their enjoyment. They are not so keen to feast on the pepperberries. This is the first year the bushes have produced so … Continue reading Tasmanian Pepperberries – black gold!

The Old Jaffle Iron

February 12, 2017April 2, 20174 Comments

Herman the outdoor bread oven has been put through his (its) paces over the last few days. Everything from pizzas to roasts have been cooked in there. There is no oven better here, and that's saying something - I have 7 in total. Yesterday, with grandchildren here for a sleepover, Robert decided to pull out … Continue reading The Old Jaffle Iron

Fruitful Sunday

February 5, 2017April 2, 2017Leave a comment

I had promised myself that Sunday would be a gardening day and things started out very well.  I mowed the grass, pulled out all the spent Sweet Williams and generally weeded a large garden bed. Time for a spot of lunch and then a friend arrived with four large bags of delicious fresh-picked peaches.  Not … Continue reading Fruitful Sunday

Apricots and Greengages

January 24, 2017April 2, 2017Leave a comment

Another day of bottling - nothing to complain about there. I was able to acquire more apricots - Moor Parks of course, only 5kg but I'll take what I can get. They are in my opinion, the best of the best and the only ones I like ton use. Here they are prettily lined up … Continue reading Apricots and Greengages

The pressure is on!

January 16, 2017April 2, 2017Leave a comment

We started very early yesterday morning with quite a mess to deal with, the residual washing up and bottling off from the Preserves class of Saturday. This was to be the day also, to pay homage to the splendiferous Moor Park apricots that a friend had acquired for us. Bottled in halves in a little … Continue reading The pressure is on!
