Hello, Eleanor here, with preserves.
By November, there's not a lot going on at the allotment, but plenty happening in the kitchen, using the fruits of the year's labours, stashed carefully in sand or shed or freezer.
I've made an apron minibook, with all my preserves recipes:
Mango chutney
Raspberry conserve
Marmalade (OK so I don't grow oranges at the allotment, but I love an old fashioned marmalade)
Piccalilli
Strawberry jam
Lemon curd (made with eggs from a fellow allotmenteer)
Red cabbage
Green tomato chutney with the ones that just would not ripen
Chilli pepper relish (I fancied trying a bit of paper piecing lol)
Pickled onions (will be just ready for Boxing Day buffet)
Blackcurrant jam
Greengage jam
I had fun designing 12 different aprons, it's a bit of a tight squeeze in the tote though.
That's all for November, see you next month for the final project.
Hi from Caz!
I can't believe at the end of this month I will be doing my last Project 2009 layout. But the plus side is I have an album bursting with two years worth of memories.
November 2009
Dec 2008
This really has been an enjoyable journey and i've loved doing my layout each month. All my Project 2009 layouts can be found here.
I hope you've all managed to keep up with yours too!
haPPy dAy!!
