Sunday, March 16, 2008 Preserving Posted in Home Made With Love Once again we have tomatoes coming out our ears. Last night I organised tea & Brent cooked it on the BBQ lamb chops, wheat free, egg free sausages Ratoutille - gotta use up the zucchini, capsicums & tomatoes. Potatoes done in tin foil - chop finely, add salt, rosemary & a bit of olive oil - wrap in a tinfoil parcel. Corn on the cob - wrapped in tinfoil. I then made a RockMelon Salsa. It was devine! 1 small rock Melon cubed small 1/2 an onion - 1 red onion would be better but I didn't have any - silly me I should of seen if one was ready in garden. Juice of one lime `1/2 cup Parsley  corriander would of been better but ours has finished. 2 T mint Mix together And it is a winner really nice to have with the lamb chops. The bowl was just about licked clean. Sorry for quality of photo I keep forgetting to ring flybuys to give me help at signing in - so I can buy a new camera. While Brent was cooking the BBQ I got cracking & made another batch of Tomato Relish - but man it is a hot batch. The chillies are what we picked & dried last year - James tells me he snuck in some HOT ones while picking. It sure has a bite to it. Then I taught Abbey how to peel, stone & chop Black Boy Peaches & she made up the syrup. I have run out of jars - so had to buy some OUCHIE!  But next year I'll have heaps of jars. We are seriously looking at buying another freezer - We have three sheep that need to go in the pot I hope I can buy one second hand. I think I prefer freezing the food to bottling too so it will mean I can do that more. - Eg I would of gently stewed the peaches so all ready for a pie or crumble in winter. It was 11pm before I got to bed. - But did watch a good movie while cooking - John Q - and not sitting still means I don't fall asleep as I do while watching TV _ Hence why I don't watch much & most of it is rubbish anyway. • Post A Comment! • Send to a Friend!
