Links: More Kumquats, Pickled Cabbage, and a Winner
Scott had a birthday late last week and so we’ve had an long weekend of celebration and much indulgent eating. It’s been fun, but I’m looking forward to getting back to a life that involves a few more vegetables and a bit less birthday cake and french fries. Other than that, it’s been all book tour planning, all the time. If you check out the Classes and Events page, you’ll see that I’ve been slowly adding to it for the spring. Some dates don’t have a ton of info yet, but I’m updating it daily, so keep checking back! Now, links!
How to make apple paste from scratch. It works nicely on a cheeseboard, much the same way that you’d use membrillo.
Winter sangria! This sounds like a glorious warmer for these chilly days.

Speaking of pears, how about home-infused spiced pear vodka?
Teeny tiny lemon curd tartlets.
Tis the season for kumquats. Marmalade, with habeneros, with rhubarb, and just on their own.
Fennel apple onion relish. Not designed for canning, but certain to be divine on all manner of things.
Grapefruit honey jam (I’m plotting a similar batch using Meyer lemons).
Linda Ziedrich wrote a post recently about pickling whole cabbage heads. I am itching to try it.
Quick pickled red cabbage.
Finally, ten things to do with jam besides spreading it on toast. For those of you who need a reminder on how to bust your jam stash before the new season starts!
We have a winner in the Weck jar and Dutch oven giveaway sponsored by Mighty Nest that was part of the pressure canned beans post. It’s Heather Shaut from Ohio! Congratulations Heather!
