I'm making rhubarb jam. This is the third time I've made this recipe, and I've tweaked it each time, reducing the sugar. Yes, I know sugar helps with the gelling, but this recipe says to "cook down to jam-like consistency," so it still gets plenty jammy. I'm making a bigger batch this time, as...

I don't know how I got the idea you were in Michigan! I see "south-eastern M..." and for some reason, I thought Michigan. 🤦‍♀️ What zone are you in? We've been 5b for a long time, but just got bumped up to 6a. And I'm so old I remember before they split the zones into a and b. When I was a...

Jared, good for you! Nothing like having a store of food on hand for whenever you might need it. Having a supply chain is one thing; being your own supply chain is much better!

I made rhubarb jam, and hubby likes it! :thSo I'm making more tomorrow. Good luck with the rhubarb crisp in the Dutch Oven, Jared. Let us know how it goes.

Nicely stocked pantry too, Jared!

Wow, those look good! I would love to dehydrate some onion/garlic, but oh, the SMELL!!! I assume you didn't smell onion when you FD'd it, right? How would you FD potatoes? Would you need to blanch the at all first? Do you need to blanch veg before FD?

@JacinLarkwell, MSU has a LOT of info online about growing just about anything here in Michigan.

Here's the post in the baking thread with the recipe and you can read the information in the following posts that might make it work better. Teaser: I'm making rhubarb jam, and this recipe DOES work well!

I usually do too. I had to break off cooking it to go do my errands, which included a chiropractor appointment. Hubby likes the jam, so I'm making more!

Probably the best thing I'll read all day. Thank you.

PB are my initials (after the Sally part), but I love-love-love peanut butter, so it's fitting! I'm a peanut butter snob, though. I haven't eaten store bought in years, because home made is much better.

It was tasty, but the custard broke and was watery. I'm going to make it again and do it differently. It's not something I'd serve to anyone other than hubby and me. I guess it's hard to bake a custard and have it work well...? Don't know that much about them. That's what I was told.

I will: Go to the chiropractor, and on that trip: Maybe take the recycle in Stop at the plumbing store for a fixture Drop off clothes at Goodwill Pick up any coffee grounds I can find at any Starbucks Pay a couple bills at the bank Get a few ingredients at the store for this weekend Doing a...

@NanaK, yes thank you. I was wondering this very thing this morning.

I did not eat as much of the rhubarb custard as I did. (WAAAY too much sugar. Tasty, though...)

Today I started digging out some grass in one corner of the garden. I kept finding Japanese Beetle grubs, so I put those in a bucket for the chickens. I must have collected 50-60 grubs. Free chickie snack today. Yeah, that means I have a lot of grubs still out there, because I didn't dig up...

I'm in Ionia County, Michigan. https://www.aphis.usda.gov/livestock-poultry-disease/avian/avian-influenza/hpai-detections/mammals Oh, man... I didn't know they'd found it in opossum and red fox.

But they don't say where it is. :confused:Why?

I ate WAAAAAY too much sugar today. So of course I'm happy! Man, I can't eat this much sugar anymore. Sorry, pancreas. I won't do this tomorrow, I promise.

I was crossing the street and a car coasted up to the light. Their bumper tapped my thigh. So I can say that I have been hit by a car.
