Friday Follow-Up

Author: I’ve had so much going on I’ve almost been too busy to blog (see previous post). In addition to preparing to start the homeschool year, and all the foods I’ve been preparing for the freezer we did our first canning project this week. My husband and I. He really wanted in on this. We opted for apple sauce. We wanted a fruit. A fruit product we already eat. And something easy. It was painless really. We canned in really small jars. We should have used 1/2 quarts but oh well. Next we ‘say’ we’re going to try apple butter and then some pear sauce.
I’m also giving ginger syrup a try. I’ve been wanting to make some ginger molasses cookies and I found this recipe on King Arthur’s website. I remember having seen Ming Tsai make some very easy ginger syrup with bonus ginger candy (if you’ve ever been pregnant or just nauseous ginger candy can be a lifesaver) on A Moveable Feast (cooking video with a few famous chefs) so I found his recipe and it’s simmering now. Wanna join me?
Now I’m off to help my mother shampoo her carpets.
Toodles!
