This morning, my mom and I made pomegranate jelly. It is delicious.
Right now, I am in the process of making pumpkin pickles. (I'm using this recipe, for those who wish to play along at home.) So far, I have learned that pumpkin is very difficult to peel. I ended up using one pumpkin, which yielded 12 cups of chopped pumpkin bits. This should have been half the recipe, producing 3 pints of pickles in 6 half pint jars. It did that. It also produced two additional pint jars and one quart jar. So that's 7 pints. I can't imagine what using the 24 cups the recipe called for would do. I am making a second batch of syrup for those latter jars while the 6 half pints process, since halving the recipe did not produce nearly the amount of syrup I need.
They smell delicious. My mom has tasted one and assures me that they taste delicious too.
I'm pretty excited about the whole thing, really.
