When you have 5 zucchinis overtaking your small vegetable garden, and have a difficulty to throw away things, you spend most of your days in the kitchen trying to save what can be saved. I'm drowning right now. But it's also a lot of fun!  Crazy zucchini plants. Makes 8 small cans. A word regarding acetic acid; acetic acid has a very low pH and shall thus be poured into water, absolutely never ever the other way around. You should also wear safety glasses when doing this. Rinse with lots of fresh water if you accidentally spill. Do not use kitchen utensils made of aluminium. If you cannot find vinegar with 12% acetic acid you have to re-calculate the amount of water needed; more water and less vinegar if the % is higher, less water and more vinegar if the % is lower. If you work with aseptic technique and sterilise the cans properly, this pickle will last for years unless the cans are opened. approx. 2 kg zucchini (1.2-1.5 kg when peeled and cleared) 300 mL distilled vinegar (acetic acid 12% - very important!) 450 mL water 1.5 kg sugar peel from 1 organic lemon 1 thumb size of fresh peeled ginger

We’ve had almost five weeks of much needed vacation. One of the best adventures we had was an unplanned trip to Pilane Sculpture Park. I love everything about sculpture parks. Pilane was no exception. First of all, the surrounding nature is spectacular! There are voluptuously green meadows with grave fields from the iron age and grazing sheep. But slowly the nature changes, and a rocky plateau with a magnificent view rises above this green paradise. And scattered all over the area are sculptures in different sizes and materials. You can easily spend a full day here when the weather is good; bring sturdy shoes, a blanket and picnic bag. |
