Juices, Jams and Cakes galore…

 

First year to have a yield on my Blackcurrant Bushes.

We’re not ready yet but I’m trying to be prepared.

I have no idea how many we will get but we have 3 bushes.

I’ve googled Jam, Cordial and Cake recipes.

I would love to hear of any tested and tried recipes and storage tips.

A glut of Courgettes…

p7100019.jpg As I mentioned before our Courgettes/Zucchini are growing great.

I’m probably going to have a few available every week so I’m going to try to use some new recipes I sourced.

I got this little book earlier in the year at our library book sale (it was an optimistic choice in the hope that I would need it).

I’m glad I have it really as my request for suggested recipes here didn’t yield as much as my plants have 😉

The other night I made one of our old favourites.

It’s one of those recipes where you just pile it all in and I never really did work it out in amounts so just adapt for the size of your own family.

Bacon & Tomato Pasta.

Fry off the Bacon & Onion, then add the mushrooms and Courgette (Zuchinni). Add the tinned tomatoes and herbs and leave to simmer. When ready to serve add the cooked pasta.
