Food tips

Buy Local Food : If you were to turn back the clock 100 years, what would gardeners in your area be growing? Try regional heirloom varieties of garden standbys such as beans, squash, tomatoes and melons, which were selected for their flavors and reliability in the days when personal survival often depended upon a garden’s success. Appalachian “greasy” beans or creamy New England-bred butternut squash can help open the door to great flavors from the past.


Buy Local Food : Strawberries, blueberries and many other kinds of fruit often are available from farms that allow you to do the harvesting (or not, if you prefer to pay for the cost of picking). Many fruits are easy to freeze, and apples will keep all winter in a cool corner of the garage.

Ingredients And Procedures

1 lb Fresh Cranberries

1 1/8 c Vodka

1 1/8 c Sugar syrup (see recipe)

1/2 Orange wedge, scraped peel

Look for bright, plump cranberries, avoiding soft, crushed, or shriveled ones. Season is Sept. to Dec. They will keep in the refrigerator for 4-8 weeks (can also be frozen), but DO NOT wash them until ready for use as moisture will make them spoil. Rinse cranberries and chop in blender. Combine all ingredients in jar and steep for 4-5 weeks. Strain and filter. Ready to serve. Note: Cranberries can tend to have a bitter taste; more sugar syrup can be added during the first steep or if after, let sit an additional week. Yield: 1 pint Container: Wide mouth quart jar
