This is one tired pixie reporting a very busy week.

This girl canned 30 pints of unsalted vegetable broth because of the new diet restrictions. Turned the 16 pounds of green tomatoes into salsa verde, chutney, and chow chow. Dried cherry tomatoes and sour leaf. Shared some of the roselle with some fabulous ladies at my nail shop and the rest went into jam. Today, my mother and I collected nine pounds of persimmons, which will become candy and frozen puree.

Today I whined to the hubby that I was exhausted. Then I ordered a bushel (30 pounds) of green beans and a bushel (50 pounds) of beets from Crow’s Market to pick up and can tomorrow. Why do we do this to ourselves?

When new health issues require a minimal salt diet, you head for the winged sumac to try to get the last of the drupes so you have a good supply of salt substitute.

Yes, Salsa Verde made from tomatillos from your garden is definitely better than store-bought.

Brought the cherry liqueur out of the infusion jars after months of melding. It’s sweet and delicious, but definitely has a KICK! The boozy cherries are in the freezer for old-fashioneds and adult summer beverages.

Speaking of summer beverages, that pineapple top is in the background because I just put this year‘s first batch of Tepache in to ferment. So refreshing and delicious!

You might remember that I put some elderflower champagne in fermentation a while back. We had our first samples yesterday and it is very unique and delicious. It starts sweet, almost too sweet, but then finishes with a very pleasing bubbly tang.
