Not only do Jeramy's parents grow incredible tomatoes but they also have basil trees. This is not all, but just some of the basil we used to make pesto preserves.
Recipe
2c fresh packed basil
1/2c grated parmesan-reggiano cheese
1/2c extra virgin olive oil
1/3c hemp hearts (or pine nuts)
3 garlic cloves
salt to taste
-blend in food processor until smooth. pressure preserve.
Pickles Part 1Many things were pickled in the Great Pickling of 2010. Asparagus, beets (always cook them first), even a peck of pickled peppers. I prefer this recipe
Classic Garlic Dill Pickle Recipe
3-4kg of cucumbers (long english skin type)
4c white vinegar
12c water
2/3c coarse pickling salt
16 garlic cloves, halved
8 sprigs of dill
chili peppers optional
- Soak the cucumbers in ice water for 2hrs. In a pot bring all of the other ingredients to a rapid boil. Pack sterile jars with cucumbers, garlic and dill. Top with pickling liquid. Pressure process to seal.
Pack apples into sterile jars and then pour the sauce over them, not the other way around. I made the mistake of putting the apples into the sauce, way more difficult.
Recipe
4 quarts cored peeled apples (read above)
2 1/2c sugar
6c water
1/2c cornstarch
1tbsp lemon juice
1tsp cinnamon
1/2tsp salt
pinch nutmeg
