So Much Chutney and Other Preserves

November 13, 2022 by Michele Neylon Leave a Comment

Back in August I made my first attempts at making chutney. At the time I was trying to use up ripe fruit as I knew I'd be away for several days on a business trip. Fast forward to now and I've essentially ended up with shelves and boxes covered in jars of various chutneys and vegetable based jams. So what happened? Well the tomato crop was good. It was way better … [Read more...] about So Much Chutney and Other Preserves

Preserving Fruit as Chutney

August 28, 2022 by Michele Neylon Leave a Comment

This year I'm going to be trying to grow a few crops that I didn't even look at last year. The first one is potatoes. They're not exactly the most exotic of vegetables in many respects, but there is a huge variety of different potatoes available, even if the local supermarket only sells one or two of the more common strains. While I could have gone down the route of … [Read more...] about Trying to Grow Potatoes
