Things are slowly getting back to normal for me. I’m caught up on laundry. My inbox is starting to look a little less insane. And I’m actually finding the time to post some links and winners on a Sunday evening.
- Grapefruit jam. One of my favorite winter into spring preserves and a perfect thing for those days when you can’t wait to get back to the canning pot.
- Meyer lemon caramel. I think I linked to Janet’s version back in January when she posted it, but a reminder is always nice.
- Pineapple preserves with vanilla and rum. Sounds awfully good!
- Speaking of vanilla, a more local preserve of rhubarb, ginger, and vanilla!
- Kate at the Hip Girl’s Guide to Homemaking has herself a little strawberry festival. I’m counting down the days until we see them ourselves.
- I love Luisa’s post about having friends over for a German breakfast. Sounds like an ideal way to put your preserves to work!
- Pineapple mango ketchup. Tropical. Tangy. Delicious.
- The spring issue of By Hand magazine is now available! I wrote about rhubarb this time around, so make sure to order your copy.
- The Tend Collective is back posting and I couldn’t be more pleased. It’s a lovely group blog about growing, cooking, and preserving and it’s one I think you all might like.
Thanks to everyone who took the time to enter the Beautiful Earth Produce Bag giveaway! I used one of my yesterday to store some asparagus, and it was perfectly fresh and crisp this morning when I used those spears in a tart. I predict that these bags will significantly change how I store my produce!
Our winner is commenter #411, Jackie Mullen. Thanks Jackie, I’ll be in touch soon!
For those of you who didn’t win and you’re still interested in these bags, I know that the nice folks at Beautiful Earth would love to have your business!
I’m a little behind on my reading, but I just had to pop in and say thank you so much for the link!
Marissa, I haven’t kept track of all the posts about eco-friendly bags and things of that nature that you post about. Do you keep them all in a particular category for easy look up? I now you’ve posted about these bags, the beeswax cloths, lids for jars, the lunch bag that has jar holders…
those look like ranunculus!
what type of flowers are those beautiful white and pink blossoms??
