From the Kitchen

We've had a busy time trying to cope with the glut of vegetables from the garden, but have been enjoying the fruits of our labour!
We've made, marrow and banana jam, cucumber pickle (which is one of the most delicious pickles I've ever had - if I do say so myself!), home cured bacon, 3 flavours of sausage plus some pickled walnuts. Also our water kefir grains have been bubbling away nicely
The walnuts were a total experiment and since I've never had them before I've got nothing to compare them to, but they are very strong and salty and go well with cheese.
There are 2 very large walnut trees on the farm and they are groaning with walnuts, so it's nice to be able to put some of them to use.
