Olives
I took a knife and cut 2 vertical cuts into each one, then using several containers added water. You then change the water every day for about a month until all the bitterness has left. Then you use a brine solution. It is ver… Continue

Penelope said… - Hi, we had a bit of snow, but it melted and now we have pleasant sunny afternoons, but below freezing temperatures at night and in the morning. It's 21F right now. I've been weaving and sewing little bags. Once I get all my papers graded, which should be before the week is out, I'll take some photos and put them on my web page:
www.waitingforodysseusweavings.com I added a few things to the page a couple of weeks ago. I'm getting ready for our Christmas sale.
How is your new place? Are you enjoying it? Any new recipes? My friend Jonathan made a curry last night, a bit too hot for me, but the flavor was good. I made crab cakes from canned crab which were pretty good with the lime flavored sauce.

PiscesGirl said… - I haven't posted anything up there yet, but I need to! We just bottled the Rhubarb wine and it turned out really well. It is quite sweet, but has a very rhubarby scent. Definitely a dessert wine :)
The cherry, blackberry and concord grape are still in progress. The cherry wine tastes surprisingly similar (to me, at least) to a merlot, and the blackberry is strong but sweet. I haven't tasted the grape in a little while, but last time I did it was incredibly potent. ;)

Carol said… - Yes, it's very cold, Kathryn. I expected a light frost (32) but it was 20! So nothing I covered in the garden survived. What is frustrating is that it will warm after this, but to no avail for the dead plants. Oh well, I have preserved a lot and the rest is compost. How is it for you?

- Pomegranates and Figs. How luxurious! I have apples and grapes -- made pie and apple crisp. Grapes didn't do so well this year, but we've been eating some of them. I will harvest my beets and carrrots this afternoon and put them in bags and store them in the fridge. I don't have very many. I think I'll make a few green tomato pickles for Jonathan, who seems to be working out ok this past month. He's easy to have around, as is his black cat named Prozac :-)

- How's the weather in Turkey? It's at freezing here. I picked my tomatoes last night, brought in my potted herbs and cut the basil. I'll make pesto after work today and put it in the freezer.

- Thank you so much for the recipes. The pictures are just gorgeous. Harvest is such a marvelous time. Though I can't say I'm terribly sorry it will freeze tonight for the first time. I'm getting a wee bit weary.

- Kathryn, Do you have recipes for the dried, stuffed eggplants and the pickled Armenian cucumbers as they are done there?

Gillian said… - Hi Kathryn,
So you originally come from Australia and married someone from Turkey? My hubby and I both come from South Africa, and eventually met again and got married four years ago. I spent most of my time sailing around the world - never got to the med though - so have lived in a lot of different countries. Funny that I miss certain things about each of those. Most importantly though I miss the friends and family scattered all over the world! thank heaven for internet!
We live alongside a creek and have a huge assortment of birds and butterflies -I do love that! A community of kookaburras live in a tree at the creek and every night we watch them calling each other back to the tree!
