HARVEST PRESERVES

ALASKAN WILD BLUEBERRY JAM

Many thanks to "Mary" for this delicious jam.

I met Mary at a highway rest stop in

 Washington state. We exchanged crafts. . .

me leaving with this lovely jam and Mary

 going on her way with some of my homemade soaps.

QUEBEC GROUND CHERRY JAM

The Ground Cherry is very similar to

the Cape Gooseberry. These were picked at

a Quebec farm just East of Montreal.

A "thank you" to Robin and Will for

introducing us to these berries as well

as the farm.

 

THANKSGIVING TABLE

THANKSGIVING FRUIT BOWL

AND CANDLE CENTRE PIECE

Made from a beautiful Golden Hubbard

squash. Bake the squash in a 350 degree

oven for about two hours. Allow to cool,

cut in half, scrape out the seeds and flesh...

Now you have two seasonal bowls. Make sure

to save the seeds, rinse off the stringy parts,

season with a little cayenne pepper and curry

powder, toast in toaster oven for several minutes

until dry. Very tasty!

ACORN CANDLE HOLDER CENTRE PIECE

I've collected acorns all fall while out walking.

The squirrels shared enough with me to decorate

my Thanksgiving table.

My Grandsons and I gathered up pretty fall

leaves and pressed them. When dry we placed them on our

table and protected them with a covering of  clear vinyl.
