In the last post I talked about learning to make and can plum jam. I enjoyed it so much we now have 40 jars of jam sitting in our pantry. Spiced plum jam, ginger plum jam, nectarine plum jam, and raspberry plum jam are all sitting there waiting to be enjoyed.
On the bottom shelf is also some ketchup that Matt made with our tomatoes. It is way better than regular store bought ketchup but I may be biased because I don't actually like ketchup. So our little panty is getting some use. Next up, pumpkin and apple butter. And if I can get my hands on some persimmons or quince then we will have even more jam.
One really nice thing about having the garden is the ability to walk outside, grab some stuff, and make dinner. The above photo is a frozen cheese pizza made amazing buy our onions, tomatoes and basil. Super fast and tasted great. So even if you don't have time to slave over a hot stove you can still enjoy your garden's bounty.
Not much else has been going on recently. The weekends are our home improvement time but since we have had people visiting or canning to do the last month or so not much has gotten done. We still haven't finished the closet that you may remember from an earlier post. But I have been sure to pin every idea I see on pinterest so you can be sure there will be lots of stuff to be done around the house. Stay tuned!
