Fruits of my labour
It's been a busy summer! My first attempt at growing heirloom tomatoes from seed was a moderate success. I've had several meals from them and they are much tastier than anything in the grocery store! The yellow ones are Peruvian Banana and the tiny ones are a commercial variety. I think I'll stick to just a couple plants next year and try other veggies:
Dill Beans
This is a recipe my mom and grammie made for many years. Everyone in my family loves them and an open jar rarely needs to go into the fridge because we eat them all! I made 12 jars of them myself last weekend. Here's the recipe if you want to try:
Garlic Dill Beans
Place in the bottom of Mason Jars:
1 glove garlic
¼ teaspoon of red pepper or ½ whole pepper.
¼ teaspoon pickling spice
Stem of dill (10-20 florets) or a small bunch of leaf dill.
Steam beans for 8 minutes. Can also do coarsely julienned carrots (make similar diameter to the beans if you want to combine them).
Stand in mason jars
Heat scant 2 cups of vinegar
2 good cups of water.
¼ cup of salt.
Bring to a boil.
Pour over beans arranged in jars. Cover. Wait for seal to pop. Refrigerate any jars that don't pop and eat soon. They should site for 2 weeks for full flavour development.
