Last night I made my FIRST apple pie! It looked fantastic
and tasted wonderful! I was always scared of pies. They seem so difficult but I found a recipe in the Purity cookbook, substituted whole wheat flour for white flour
, and it took no time at all. I think the most time consuming thing was peeling and coring the apples. I think next time I will use less sugar. It was a little to sweet for my liking. I even did an egg wash for the crust and marked it with a "T".I would like to make some pepper jelly, or corn relish... I am going to look up some recipes and see if I can find anything that wouldn't be too hard to make.
Eventually I would love to make homemade pickles, canned beets, and/or pickled asparagus. If my kitchen was bigger I think it would be easier to do it but at the same time I imagine someone probably had used that kitchen for canning over the 60 years the house has been there.
I should get going on doing this while I have the excitement to do it! My mother-in-law still does a ton of canning and preserving. Also my sister-in-law has a huge garden of many types of vegetables that she is selling in baskets. If only I lived in Winfield I could get a yummy basket as well :) (If there is anyone you know that lives in the Winfield and surrounding areas that loves homegrown vegetables weekly, let me know and I will get you a number/email you can ask the price for next year)
