Pickles galore!

Spent the last couple of days pickling eggs, beetroot and onions. Going to be doing some strawberry jam later this week (unless we eat them all first).

Mmmmm.....Free Food Friday

Took my rubber gloves and a big bag with me when I walked the dog this morning. Nettle beer is on the go.

I had the Free Food Friday (great idea Claire) bug after that, so I got my River Cottage Preserves book out and had a look through. I was actually looking for a nettle syrup recipe but came up with the above instead. It's going to be a mint cordial/syrup when it's finished. There was no nettle syrup recipe, so if anyone has one :-).

And lastly, some more pickled eggs with chilli. Thanks to Claire we're off hunting wild garlic tomorrow - her blog has made my mouth water.

Pickled eggs and a horse!

Today I have made pickled eggs with chilli for the hubby and I made the felt horse for my friend's daughter who will be 6 in a few days. I also managed to do a bit more on my sock this morning - haven't picked it up for ages. Forgot to bottle the beer today so that's a job for the morning.
