Hi! Long time no blog! now that the growing season is finally ramping up, I'll definitely be posting more. We were moving dirt today and here is the final result - beds prepped for planting - the soil is too wet still, and the weather is too cold -so must be patient!! view from the porch and as I'd found a big bag of frozen rhubarb and plums in the basement freezer, thought I'd make some chutney again: Recipe: 10 cups of rhubarb (I used some plums) 4 cloves garlic, slivered 1 1/2 cups candied ginger, chopped 2 cups dried cherries 2 onions, chopped 2 tsp mustard seeds 1 tsp coriander seeds ground 1 tsp kosher salt 2 cups organic apple cider vinegar 2 cups brown sugar 6 jalapenos peppers minced bring to a boil, simmer 45 mins until thickened, pour into hot sterilized jars, process in hot water 10 minutes. This chutney is slightly sweet from the candied ginger and cherries - and would make a wicked sweet and sour sauce for a stir fry, too!
