Recipe

baked butternut squash mash

added by lb1 23rd September 2009

This is a very traditional American recipe, often served with turkey at Thanksgiving. In fact it is a great accompaniment to roast turkey or roast chicken, and my family would not consider a Christmas Dinner complete without it. I now grow my own butternut each year (they store well for very long periods through winter).

Question

PEARS PEARS PEARS! Can anyone provide me with recipes...

PEARS PEARS PEARS! Can anyone provide me with recipes for PRESERVING OR STORING PEARS, please. Do not say "bottling" because I "bottle out" for fear of botulism. I know I cannot freeze them. Can I DRY THEM (IN THE OVEN?) Can I JAM THEM? I have this formidable very little pear tree about 18 yrs old (dont know variety, not conference) that produces about 100-150 gorgeous pears each OCTOBER (they are always late). They are ENORMOUS, and juicy, slightly knobbly pear-shaped, and probably weigh about a qurter pound when ready. My neighbours and I feast out each October. However, I would like to keep some over until Xmas or New Year.

I am growing CELERIAC for the first time this year. I started them off from the tiny seed in the greenhouse, and planted them out in a row in the garden around early June. They have been slow, but now are starting to take off. The plants look much like celery tops, and I have "mounded" them up a bit, as I have very light soil that shrinks if it is really dry. ANY TIPS, or should I just watch and wait? eg: fertiliser, etc.

Recipe

ONION MARMALADE

Onion marmalde is DELICIOUS AND VERSATILE. This is my daughters recipe. It has so many uses. Wonderful companion to any type of sandwich/baguette, Ploughmans Lunches/base for soups/with Baked Ham/With baked Sausages/ and don't forget - add to Soured Cream for a nice "dip"! Onions are presently plentiful. You can use Red, Yellow, or White or....a Mix.

Recipe

orange & grapefruit marmalade (Microwave)

With cheap oranges on the shelves of the supermarket at the moment, I took advantage of half price fruit, and obtained this FAST MICROWAVE RECIPE from the Internet! Result - GREAT. Could not be easier. Could not be faster. Could not be cheaper. Remember - there are no preservatives in home made jams and jellies - so I store mine in the fridge.

Tomatoes are coming along well this year (unlike last when lack of warm/sun did no favours) so looks to be a bumper harvest. I have only tried SUN DRYING TOMATOES once before on the advice of a friend, stuck them in the Rayburn for a long, slow, dry at low heat. If it is REALLY HOT come August, could they be dried outside or in the greenhouse? And how do I go about the whole thing?
