Fruits (and veggies) of the garden……..Unite and become something yummy!

As promised pictures of my efforts in the Elfhaus Kitchen this weekend! There is green tomato/pepper relish and pear mincemeat! Had an ah-ha moment when getting ready to simmer the toms/peppers – according to the recipe was to put 1 teaspoon of pickling spice in a cheesecloth bag and drop in pot with the veggies , well as I could not locate my cheesecloth readily I thought hmmmm why not use my little tea diffuser? It worked like a charm so file that for future use. The flowers are just because! Poppies, Mexican Tarragon (yellow flowers) and German Basil for the greenery and awesome scent! The “vase” is actually an old aluminum glass with a cute design embossed on it, found this in some of our Mom’s things a few months back.
