Sister Cat's lush peach tree next door. The peach tree (Prunus persica) is a species of Prunus native to China that bears an edible juicy fruit called a peach. (Wikipedia) |
 |
How beautiful! I just happened to wander over to take a photo of the peach tree and, voila!, Cat had peach tarts just coming out of the oven... mmmmm.
 |
 |
| While I enjoyed a piece of zucchini bread and a cup of tea, Cat showed me the peach and blueberry preserves in her pantry... are you inspired yet? |
 |
| Just picked, YES, it is apple season!! |
 |
| Pear slices with cheddar perhaps... or a pear tart?! |
 |
Compliments from our cooler.
|
 |
| Say no more! |
 |
| Roasted peppers, oooo la la, great in hummus too. |
 |
| My grandmother's winter pantry was a feast for your eyes... mason jars of bold color! Tomatoes, bread and butter pickles, green beans, applesauce, AND pickled beats lined the shelves-- winter treasures. |

Keeping a few jugs in the freezer is always a good thing.
TOMATO TIP FROM MARTHA: slice tomatoes, salt, and bake in a 300º oven for 3 hours. Pour off excess sauce and use in your favorite beverage or recipe. What's left is a tray of sweet roasted tomatoes to puree for a pasta sauce or toss in wherever you would like tomatoes. They can be frozen, ready for you all winter! |
CORN FUN FACT FROM MARTHA: There is a strand of silk for every kernal.
And the eggplant is not just another pretty "nightshade" vegetable.
 |
| I overheard a customer say it was the best corn she had ever had! |
