We made a batch of Pickled Turnips with Hakurei turnips and it's ready! What makes this batch different?
.
We cut the turnips into wedges instead of sticks and left the peels in tact. I find these more sour than our usual turnips, with a nice, crisp texture.
.
It all started when Madeleine from @backyardedibles asked me if Hakurei turnips are good for pickling. I said I would gladly find out!
.
Available in the online store, and at the #ParkdaleNightMarket @ottawamarkets Wednesdays 4-8 p.m.

💛It's hard to overstate my love of Ontario yellow plums. Their sweet flesh and tart skins cook up into an exquisite, first class jam!
.
The aroma of the jam is super nostalgia for me and the first batch of the season always has me in a good mood. Like, when you know you're doing what you're meant to be doing. Making + selling jam and preserves 😁

Water is back on at @prokitchencanotek and we are back in production. Woo hoo!
.
On another note, we finally have a few jars of Apple Mustard in stock. This wholegrain mustard has a great, crunchy texture. The mustard seeds are hydrated in a blend of apple cider (fresh juice) and apple cider vinegar for a subtly sweet and tangy result. Try it on a charcuterie board!

Prepped these plums for jamming today but we're having another water shut off issue at the kitchen today 😑

I'll take it as a sign to let them macerate for another day. Not much we can do without water! Hoping it's back up soon 🙃
