It’s been a busy few weeks and I’ve been neglecting the blog! Many apologies. We’ve been canning up a storm, working on the chicken coop and (unfortunately) working a lot. My Mom also got married which was pretty fun and exciting. For her wedding gift I put together a selection of canned goods from the pantry and filled a cute picnic basket.

Included in the basket was:

Lemon Curd made with eggs from Britney

Blackberry Sage Jam with blackberries and purple sage from our garden

Tomato Salsa with tomatoes from Ladysmith, BC

Peach Jam with peaches from Ladysmith, BC

Boozy Peaches with peaches from Ladysmith, BC

Dill Relish with pickling cucumbers and fresh dill from Coombs, BC

Pickled Red Onions

Peach Chutney with peaches from Ladysmith, BC

Bread and Butter Pickles with fresh cucumbers from Gabriola, BC
