Wild violets! 💜

Wild violets are so cool. For this batch I used a mortar and pestle and ground them into sugar. Which turns you sugar a bluish purple color. What makes it so cool though is if you add lemon juice to it it changes the color to pink!

I minced a bunch of garlic, placed inside baggies and used the back of a knife to portion out little squares. Then I put the baggie in the freezer (carefully) and now whenever I need garlic for a recipe I can easily break off a square and use! 🧄

Also I keep the garlic peels and pieces parts and dehydrate em. That way I can grind em up and use as “false” garlic powder in recipes as well.

Lemon peel candy 🍋

I had a recipe that called for fresh lemon juice. So I bought lemons, cut em in half and squeezed the juice out. Well afterwards as I was sitting there staring at the fresh squeezed lemons wondering how else they could be used.. I could compost em but was there an even better use? So I got to searching the Internet lol. I seen you can clean with the halved lemons but then came across lemon peel candy.

It basically just requires boiling the lemon peels in sugar water and sprinkling a little sugar on top.

They were pretty tasty. I’d make em again 🍋

Decided to try my hand at making a cheap, non toxic, multi purpose cleaner.

It’s super simple! Give the kids oranges to eat and keep their peels. Put the peels in a jar and fill with white vinegar. (Cover with breathable material, I used my pickle pipe) Let that solution sit for two weeks and then strain the vinegar into a spray bottle. Fill the rest with water and voilà you’re done!!
