U. C. Master Food Preserver!

When life gives you limes . . .

When the carrying capacity of the freezer for tubs of frozen lime juice has been reached and you still have more limes.



You zest and juice a whole bunch of them.



Then you put the zest in a large vessel with 151 proof Everclear and set it aside for a couple of months.



Then you use the juice to make a lime simple syrup, which will be filtered and combined with the filtered Everclear in April or so.

THE BIG TOMATO

This is the largest tomato that has ever appeared in the garden!  It was so large and heavy that I could not resist weighing it on my kitchen scale and then photographing it for proof.
