Hickery Holler Farm: More Spring Garden 2022

 Thursday morning cup of hot tea here as I listen to thunder rumble in the distance. Rain is forecasted for the next 2 days so I will put the garden away and concentrate on some housework and cooking. Thought I would share some more pictures of the gardens. The gooseberries above are swelling now and all the 8 bushes have berries on them now. Yesterday I got all my broccoli and cabbage plants in the boxes. They were the perfect size and ready for their permanent homes in the garden. Planting them right before rain will allow them to acclimate for the next two raiy days and not even wilt. Also got some romaine plants in...

Hickery Holler Farm: Canning Elderberry Pie Filling

 The elderberries are blooming and loaded this year. In the most recent freezer clean out I thawed out some and canned some homemade elderberry pie filling.

I dehydrate some for hot tea during the winter as it is supposed to help strengthen the immune system. This is the first pie filling from them I have canned thus far. Elderberry Pie Filling for canning (1 quart)5 cups elderberries1 cup sugar1 cup water1 TBSP lemon juice1/4 cup Clear Jel1.
