my winter stock














I was making a winter stock of my favorite rhubarb-apricot jam; eventually I think I like this one the most, despite my earlier experiments
... 
and afterwards went for a walk; I could feel already a sense of fall in the air, maybe because so much fluff whirled around;
lovely seed bunches from the ash

  2. oh my... I get lost in your blog, dear Renilde, and I enjoy it!
    Rhubarb-apricot...hmm, sounds mmmh... wonder about their different ripening season?
    Love that image of the ash... so very dreamy... moved (first I mean it is a robinia).
    And the photo! the b/w... the "Anna Magnani-pic" with apron on... simply gorgeous! your facial expression... fantastic. Your mom... the old photo... what a gift... even the talent for handcraft. Great!
    Your "Eddy" is marvellous...

    xo Ariane.

  4. thank you all!

    to Ariane: I eat rhubarb all summer; the oxalic acid becomes toxic only in very large quantities, you have to eat at least 10 kg of rhubarb :)
    but if you prefer not to use rhubarb after spring, you can always use dried apricots; my grandma used to make her jam this way.
    thanks you like my 'Eddy' :)

    en net als jij ben ik druk geweest met inmaken
    ik heb zo'n 20 kg pruimen geoogst van onze boom
    de vriezer en voorraadkast zit vol met
    pruimenmoes, pruimenjam, pruimenchutney ;^))
