today...
i packed up all my canning supplies and headed up the mountains to nederland. my dear friend, who lives in ned, invited me up to help her make one of her favorite, but strange treats: pennsylvanian-dutch red beet eggs. i have never even tried pickled eggs before, but now i can't wait until they are ready.
we also pickled chard stems, carrots, yellow beans, garlic, onions, and cucumbers. we tried out the citrus & savory brining spice from the local spice shop for these pickles.
after spending a few hours in the kitchen, it was time to get outside. right from her house we could walk to boulder creek.
don't eat baneberry. it is extremely poisonous and just two berries could kill!
the late afternoon sun was beautiful through the horsetails.
then we collected berries from a juniper bush. what should i do with these berries once they are dry? supposedly you use just a few to flavor marinades ans sauces.
