I'm startled that it's been over 9 months since I last posted. Somehow, I've been canning but not documenting that, so here's a sample of my recent efforts: Casa de Madera Roja White Peach and Saffron, Plum with Cardamom, and Apricot and Vanilla preserves. (I also lucked into a sale of these cute little jars at Sur La Table.)
In this interim, I've found some new reading material, including a book from a friend in Tasmania, A Year in a Bottle by Sally Wise (full of interesting new fruits like medlars). The best of the recent lot is an irreverent and fun Southern-inspired view on canning from Liana Krissoff: Canning for a New Generation. Never thought I'd find a diatribe about the availability of quinces in the US so entertaining. :) These recipes are comprehensive, practical and easy to follow.
As we move into fall, I'm looking forward to trying out some new recipes for apples and pinot noir grapes: lucky me, I got to pick the latter fresh from a friend's vines. Here's to some new tastes!
