Plum jelly redemption. We have three plum trees in our backyard so last year, I made a ton of plum jelly. The plums are small and hard to pit so making jelly is the best bet, since you don’t have to pit them. But last year, since 2020 had to ruin everything, the jelly failed to set. Admittedly, I had old pectin. The good news is the boy still loves it and eats it almost every day in sandwiches. The plums have gone ripe again and the boy was eager to pick them for more plum jelly. We picked seven pounds of plums a couple of days ago. Then I went out and picked three more pounds today. (And there are still more!) I made two batches of plum jelly and it gelled! Redemption! I also miraculously still had some cherries left from cherry picking a few weeks ago and they were still good. So I made cherry plum jam. I ran out of white sugar so I made it with brown sugar. It tastes great! But it’s not quite as pretty. I think I made 11 1/2 quarts of jelly today. Now to count the days until the boy decides he doesn’t like it anymore… 🙄 #plum #jelly #cherries #canning #backyardfruit #preserving #foodinjars #waterbathcanning #waterbath #homemade #theboy (at Oakland, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQVETxehIhn/?utm_medium=tumblr

Fig season continues. Poached our mission figs with port, rosemary, and shallots, served over pork chops with molasses-braised collard greens. #food #realfood #homecooking #backyardfruit https://www.instagram.com/p/CgyHEcTuwUV/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
It’s fig season in our yard, which is why mission figs are on this fettuccine, along with cherry tomatoes and green peppers. The sweet savory combo works pretty well. #food #realfood #homecooking #glutenfree #backyardfruit #parttimevegetarian #occasionalvegan https://www.instagram.com/p/Cgx_f1vL-EE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Happy Thanksgiving! A fall spin on an old fashioned with fresh persimmon pulp, fresh-squeezed tangerine juice, and a dash of maple syrup muddled into the bourbon. #food #realfood #cocktail #backyardfruit https://www.instagram.com/p/CWr8Nfjrdtq/?utm_medium=tumblr
Backyard pomegranates -> grenadine -> this awesome cocktail called a Monkey Gland. Gin, fresh orange juice, and grenadine are shaken over ice and poured into a glass that’s been washed in absinthe, with a twist of orange. #food #realfood #cocktail #backyardfruit https://www.instagram.com/p/CVwgHFflbHe/?utm_medium=tumblr
