I was over at my neighbour’s place the other day, picking up a box of apples. This took quite a while as I do like “The Fig Tree Next Door”

Pavlova is a staple in my house for Christmas, along with the traditional fruit cake, and every year I try to make it a bit “Lemon Curd”

SPICE UP YOUR DESSERT Something about spiced fruit makes me feel warm on a cold winter’s day. Added to a moist cake and heated through, “Pears with Cinnamon and Star Anise”

I know I have been on and on about greet tomatoes, but you would not believe how many tomatoes I had this year from just “Green Tomato Chutney”

It’s the apple-picking season right now in Pozieres, just outside of Stanthorpe, QLD. While there has been no notable cooling of the weather, the apple “It’s Apple Season”

There was a crispness in the air this morning at my place in Pozieres, QLD, and it got me thinking about home preserving, particularly jam-making. “Sugar-Free Strawberry Jam”

I grow my own tomatoes at home. They really are very easy to grow and a great choice for those just starting out with a “Tomato Harvest Time”

I have been preserving food at home for some 30 years now and have collected many books on the subject over the years. The boiling “Safe Home Preserving with the Boiling Water Bath”
