My Fall Food Chore List

Fall is a busy time. We get to deal with all those veggies and fruit you grew or was given to you. I also have black walnut treas in abundance around my property and this year I actually want to get as many nut meats as I possibly can. So I currently have a long list of chores to get done before everything rots. The first was to process the incredibly abundant Concord grapes and I think I ended up with about 3 gallons of grape jelly. Between that and the several gallons of strawberry preserves I made this spring and my kids should be set with PB&J for the next year. My next task is to make hot sauce from the Bulgarian carrots and random hot peppers my father-in-law gave me. I want to also make applesauce but the rain is keeping me from picking my apples at the moment. We had a hard freeze a couple days ago so I will be collecting black walnuts in the next day or two. I think I will deposit them in the drive and see how much husk I can get off with the car without crushing them. I will be sure to take as many pictures as I can and update you all with the progress.
