"sauce box"
I totally scored at yesterday’s Columbia City Farmers Market. This box of beautiful, if slightly marred, tomatoes only set me back TWO DOLLARS!!! My kitchen is beginning to fill with produce waiting to be processed…the clock is ticking and the fruit flies are gathering.
HOT TIP: Pour a little apple cider vinegar in a small cup and cover securely with plastic wrap. Poke a few hole in the plastic with the tines of a fork. The flies are attracted to the vinegar, get in and can’t get back out!
Amy Pennington of Go Go Green Garden was great with her canning demonstration. That gal is a magician when it comes to juggling bubbling pots of jam, a boiling water-bath cauldron, knives, fruit and witty riposte! Go to Canning Across America for entertaining and inspirational preserving events coming to your neighborhood!
Yum!
My other score won’t feed me, make me laugh or even get rid of fruit flies for that matter, but I am tremendously tickled with today’s post on the LA Times Home & Garden blog submitted by my friend Debra Prinzing plugging my new book Canning & Preserving Your Own Harvest.
Debra said it best “Picklers Unite!”
