My version for this condiment has more to do with what produce I have available from my garden and need to preserve or pickle to keep and store for use later before they would spoil. Pickling low acid vegetables is a safe way to preserve these using a simple water-bath canning process. I often make pickles or relish, but making exotic chutney is an interesting alternative.
August is the start or our rainy season and the return of a wet and cool weather pattern. It is also berry season when most domestic garden berries are ripe and ready for harvest.
I ended up with 30-40 lbs of Green Tomatoes. I hate to waste any produce, even if it is not ripe. So I usually make green tomato chutney. It is a favorite relish and goes very well with spicy curry dishes…
The Raspberry harvest season in Wasilla Alaska was great and I needed to make room in my freezer so I made jam from some of the frozen Raspberries I have stored…
I spent my Friday making sweet pepper pickles... I picked a peck of peppers! I grew King of the North and North Star Bell Peppers in 2020. They are short season peppers and make large fruit. Prefect for our short garden season in Wasilla, Alaska…
I will admit kale is not my favorite veggie, yet I know it is good for me. It is very easy to grow, very frost tolerant, and therefor a great staple crop for my garden here in Wasilla, Alaska…
