Sourdough is a very intriguing world to venture into. Once you have a good reliable sourdough starter you may as well use it in whatever you can. How about Sourdough Chocolate Chip Cookies? With this recipe I use starter that is in my fridge and has not been fed for some times. It can be called discard or unfed starter. These cookies are so delicious and you wouldn’t even know that sourdough was used in them.
Zucchini is one of the most prolific vegetables you can grow in your garden. Once they are picked they can be use in almost any vegetable side dish and even transformed into cakes, cookies and bars. I try and pick zucchini small…no larger than 10-12 inches but occasionally some get over looked.
Sweet and tangy Jalapeno Corn Relish is just what you need to serve at your next gathering. It has the perfect pop between sweet and tangy. This relish is tasty served over fish tacos, corn bread, hot dogs, or any grilled main course.
For many years a large portion of my garden was filled with black raspberry bushes. My children well remember the days when we picked 30+ pints to sell to a local produce stand. There is nothing better than a sun warmed ripe black raspberry! Even the scratches from the thorns were forgotten when the berries were ripe. This jelly is delicious spread on soo
Green and Yellow beans are one of the easiest vegetables to grow. Most bean plants are very prolific and you can expect to get a great harvest. Beans can be preserved by freezing or canning. A pressure canner is a must for canning beans. Green beans are considered a low-acid food so pressure canning helps limit the risk of botulism.
Fried Dill Pickles—who doesn’t like this southern specialty! These pickles are air fried to lessen the calorie load and they are still delicious! I used my home canned Dill Pickles Spears but you can also use bought pickles.
Just a notice of an event change. Our family had been asked to do a Sourdough Demonstration in the Homemakers Building at the Horse Progress Days, July 3-4, 2020 in Mt Hope, Ohio. This event has been postponed to July 2-3, 2021. We will look forward to seeing you next year!
This sweet flavorful jam combines two of the earliest garden yields, strawberries and rhubarb. Adding rhubarb to this jam enhances the flavor and texture.
If you ever traveled into areas where Amish people have bakeries you will find fry pies! These hand held delicacies are made with a flaky pie crust filled with various fillings. Traditionally, these are fried like a doughnut but they can be baked, also.
Strawberries are the first fruits to arrive at roadside stands and in home gardens. These luscious juicy fruits can be used in desserts, salads, smoothies and much more. I just spent some time in Lancaster County, a place well known for produce farms. Just look at these luscious strawberries I picked in a pick-ur-own patch. These berries are huge as you can see by the one I am holding in my hand.
