The Leaning Tower of Peaches on Providence Rd

The Mixer & West Wall Street

11/25/2019
Attended the mixer @ Friendship West Friday evening. The vendors met each other, the pastor & event organizer over a light meal. We got to introduce ourselves & our businesses to the group. At West Wall Street, we got to introduce & sell our products to members & visitors. Quay assisted me & Nadeerah helped Janet at Tea Tea & Company. We all had a fantastic time!

Getting the soil ready for a spring garden

11/18/2019
I know cooler weather has arrived but we're starting to plan for a spring/summer garden. The compost bin finally got here and Ken assembled it. I've already added leaves, fruit & veggie peelings, egg shells, coffee grinds and grass clippings to the bin. Hope to add some chicken manure from the We Over Me Farm soon. It may look like I'm adding trash to the compost bin but, in a few months it'll have rich black soil! Please share any good advice on composting.
good compost material = healthy soil = great garden

Not a preserves story

11/15/2019
So I know what I'm about to tell you has nothing to do with making preserves but, it is about food. An organization here in southwest Dallas County, Altrusa International  is scheduled to help feed some of the homeless population in Dallas tomorrow. We were asked to donate cakes. Members could easily buy store-made cakes and serve them. But these amazing ladies choose to bake pound cakes from scratch today for the meal tomorrow. We are, treating people like family; the way we would like to be treated if the shoes were on our feet.
My cake didn't turn out too well...it fell like the Berlin Wall, I turned it into bread pudding. But, not to shirk my duties, I purchased the main cake ingredients-flour, sugar, eggs, butter and oil and gave them to another member, Ms. Debra who is an excellent cook, to make it happen. It looks like Altrusa will be donating between 8 to 10 homemade cakes tomorrow. Its good to know people, like Altrusa International of Southwest Dallas County, are willing to make the extra effort for those who are unable to.

Back in the kitchen @FWBC

11/6/2019
So Tuesday we made 3 different batches of jam. So glad we had frozen some fruit when it was in season because there is no local fruit available right now.. We got side-tracked and 4got to turn 2 jars right-side-up,  so... those 2 jars look a little different from the rest. FYI, we don't use concentrated lemon juice for our Peach and Berry-Peachy Jam. You get the real thing, fresh lemons! Sometimes you even get a seed or two...(not on purpose)
No shows this weekend. But, we'll be up and running Nov 16, 24 and 30th

2 Shows over wknd

11/3/2019

It was a busy wknd & we are zapped! I'm still in pajamas and its 2pm Sunday afternoon! So to answer your question, "No I did not go to church this morning".
We sold produce grown by the students @Paul Quinn College at the market on Friday. It was a purple & gold kind-of-day. Next time I go to that market, I want to take a pic of me holding one of the chickens they are raising. Then again, maybe not...
My 1st customer was Melawn, a USMC veteran, She enjoyed sampling some of the products. Some of the yellow jackets tried to taste and see too!
Saturday's event at the 1st Christian's Disciples Church was also a huge success. As usual, we forgot to take pics. There were 4 ladies from Dallas, Duncanville  & Grand Prairie who each purchased several jars. Because of them, we will be back in the commercial kitchen this Tuesday making more product for the upcoming 3 shows this month. 
The gift box containing Mild Chow-Chow, Cinnamon Cucumber Rings and Hot Chow-Chow was a popular item this weekend.
It may be renamed "The State Fair Special" since they were all sold there last month.

    Greetings

    I believe there is something very special about making 
    preserves. Although it seems labor intense to some people it is pure joy for me! It's almost therapeutic. I love to stand and stir a boiling pot containing fresh fruit. The scent is tantalizing! But, better than cooking the product  is seeing the end result of filled jars with delicious goodness. I hope you will enjoy eating the jams and pickles as much as I enjoy making them.
    O taste and see.....
