[Ag-eq] Recipes

[Tracy Carcione]

Nella, so glad to hear your figs are alive and well!
Mine had little figs early on, but they dropped off, much to my
disappointment.
My apple tree has been dropping excess fruit a lot.  My ridiculous Labrador
grabs one whenever he can.  I can't imagine they taste good, being tiny and
very green, but he doesn't care.

Tracy we are having cool damp weather here as well and my garden is growing
in slow motion.

I'm getting a few greens, but nothing like last year.

Also I wanted to tell you that you were right and my fig twigs have now
greened up, but it took them a long time.

I was listening to Better Homes and Gardens on Newsline this morning while I
was eating breakfast, and the June issue has some interesting recipes.  A
couple are for freezer jam, which sounds totally easy.  Basically, all you
need is chopped fruit, sugar, and instant pectin.  No endless boiling, or
pouring boiling liquid.  We don’t eat jam, or I’d definitely give it a try.
Sure sounds like an easy way to preserve fresh fruit, which I love.

Another recipe was for pesto made with carrot tops.  I had no idea one could
eat carrot tops, but apparently so.  It was half carrot tops, half basil.  I
think I will try that.

 

We are getting a lot of rain, and it’s been pretty chilly, in the 50’s and
60’s, not at all like May-June.  My warm-weather crops are not doing very
well.  But I did harvest enough kale and mustard greens to use for dinner
the other day.  I sautéed them, threw in some beans, and mixed that with
pasta and a bit of pasta sauce.  Good stuff!

Tracy
