My mom was 1 of 13, and raised in a poor family where it was necessary to grow and preserve your own food. As a result my summer memories are of helping to harvest, wash, peel, sterilize Mason jars and preserve. Oddly as a young teen I enjoyed this. I still enjoy, the choosing, preparing and the delight in the finished product. This morning I made 2 jars of fresh pesto. Which is now in the freezer for future culinary delight.
I have put out an order for some fresh beets from a friends garden to make beet pickles, a favourite of mine. I love sliced pickled beets on the side with a garnish of crumbled feta.
