What an accomplishment!! And a very good reason for not being blogging! You were actually doing instead of writing about it!

Hi Kendra:

Thanks for stopping by and for your kind wishes. Hopefully now that the garden is winding down, I will be able to write some articles on a consistent basis. It has been busy here on our farmstead.

Blessings,
Christina

Stephanie:

I made some cherry flavored jam last month. It was good, but not nearly so good as the blackberry jam we made from wild berries harvested here on the land. We used some the zucchini jam for toppings on our pancakes. It was a nice variation.

Thank you all for stopping in. I seem to have a harder time these days keeping up with regular posting. But, I still appreciate keeping in touch with readers and the comments written here as well.

Blessings,
Christina

Zucchnin jam - the flavor options are unlimited. It can be a bit runny, but mine firms up after I place it (the current one we are using) in the refridgerator. I have made enough to last us two years and still gift some.

Thank you so much Christina! You have been very helpful and I really appreciate it! I have picked mine all green so far. Now I will put my little experiment on hold until I have some on the plant turn red.
Have a wonderful day!

I let them turn red on the vine. The children picked some when they were partially green still. They turned red. The ones they picked that were all green did not turn. I have several bunches that are ready to grind now. If you google how to make a ristra you can get some ideas on how to dry them.

Good luck,

Christina

Thank you Christina for the great information. I am excited to experiment with my peppers. I do have one more question. Do I let them turn red on the vine or will they turn red during the drying process?
