Ginger carrot soup (tested for supper and the rest canned), more Beetniks (also sampled with some delicious dill sauce), grape juice canned and finishing the night off with a quick batch of macaroons for the kids lunches this week. This mama is done!!!! (Excuse the stovetop. It’s impossible to keep up with, with all the canning mess right now 🤪) I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!!!!!!

Grape juice and beetniks made today, and carrots prepped for tomorrow (tomorrow I’ll also can the juice after letting it settle for the night). I also separated the seeds in hopes to start a few dozen grape vines next spring 🤞

Canning, canning and more canning! My carrots were sad little things this year but they still yielded 7 quart jars! I also had a neighbour gift me her beets, which had been snacked on by gophers but with some care and trimming, I managed 5 quarts of beet too ☺️ The pigs got into my garden and ate my potatoes this summer but I had just enough to make a delicious potato/ham soup for a cool day. A wonderful friend in town let me raid her garden as well with a bag of tomatoes, carrots, beets, Swiss chard and GRAPES!!!!! Our family loooooves homemade grape juice 🤤 I got this beautiful pic of our farm as I was driving home from Yorkton last week and the temp rapidly dropped making an eerie fog with a fire-like sunset. Loving Sask prairie life 🥰.

It’s been a hard couple weeks due to migraines and blood clots but it’s fall so the show must go on!!!! Tonight, I made a delicious ginger pumpkin soup with our first pumpkin harvested to welcome in the cool weather. I added 13 jars of chokecherry jelly (that only partially set 😭) and 3 jars of syrup to cold room last week and I’ve been pulling out trees from our forest for rails on the new round pen for the horses that I’m determined to have done before winter 🤞🙏

We’re onto chokecherries this weekend! After a heavy rain this morning, it was a nice afternoon for picking. When it’s too hot out, the berries are softer and harder to quickly pull the bunches off. I’ll let the juice drain from the cooked berries overnight to be made into jelly tomorrow.

Todays’ canning was spiced crab apples (to be enjoyed with cheese and cracker at Christmas 🥰) and home made rabbit spring rolls for supper with banana chocolate chip spring rolls for dessert 😉 More to come tomorrow!

Apple processing started today with crab/saskatoonberry/raspberry fruit leather (with honey from a local friend) cooked up and into the dehydrator for school snacks. Tomorrow will be juice and jelly! Another friend of mine is very sick and wanted lentil soup that I couldn’t find in the store, so I now know how to make delicious Lebanese lentil soup (also made with rabbit soup stock that I coincidentally made up the other night as well! 🙏).

Graphic Warning‼️ Today, we started butcher season. 8 rabbits in the fridge for 24 hrs, to let rigour mortis come and go. Then to the freezer tomorrow! The kids and dad helped catch and I did the dirty work 😜 They enjoyed the warm weather with a sprinkler on the trampoline while mom slaved away 😂 These are not lovey pet rabbits. They are quite wild livestock. As always though, we provide a quick and quiet, humane end to their lives.
