A rare rainy day had me busy in the kitchen:
Making fig leaf syrup, liming 🥒 for pickles, and pickling some garlicky kosher dill pickles. All will be available at the farm store.

Spending the day harvesting the jujubes. Has anyone had this fruit before? Typically it's eaten when it's turned from green to brown and sort of like a date. I think they are rather bland and plan on canning some in honey syrup and some in maple syrup. Does anyone have other ideas?

This tree of mine is growing two different types, a big fat one and a small, olive sized fruit. Weird. It was probably a grafted tree and it spreads easily.

Since both Grace and I have been gimpy lately, I thought I would try red light therapy for us both. Has anyone else used red lights for pain?
