The pickled okra was a great garnish for our prix- 4 of July celebration. Naomi made the BloodyMary base, Belvadere Vodka, the glasses were rimmed with chunky gray salt. So Good.
Sealed and set.
Plums from Topanga Canyon. Friend Gary has a tree with Santa Rosa's and another variety. Organic sugar, cinnamon sticks, vanilla bean, black pepper, honey, lemon zest.
Raw product ready for canning.

  1. So you just whip out a canner like that hah? We went to our Farmers market on the 4th. There were about 10 booths there. Picked up some boysenberries, blueberries, and 2 kinds of cherries. Love canned cherries. But we are just eating it as is.
