Spiced Apple Butter https://biketoworkbarb.blogspot.com/2025/11/spiced-apple-butter-recipe.html. Made today along with Cranberry Orange Jam with Crystallized Ginger from #SeriousEats (but with adjustments to cooking time--don't believe someone who says orange peels soften in 10 minutes--no pectin, added 1 T. lemon juice https://www.seriouseats.com/cranberry-orange-jam-with-crystallized-ginger-recipe).

Time to sit down and enjoy the sound of pinging jar lids.

Planning ahead for a weekend project: Make Future Marmalade. I think this year it will be the Spiced Ginger Marmalade recipe that adds a bit of cinnamon and cloves to the ginger https://biketoworkbarb.blogspot.com/2024/09/future-marmalade.html.

What I did all day yesterday. And by all day I mean I started at 9:30am and finally sat down at 8:15pm, with one short break to make and eat a sandwich somewhere around 2-ish.

Adding to my canstravaganza resume: Making this tomatillo/lime jam with the addition of some jalapeños, which should be tasty. This will use up some of the 11.5 lbs. of tomatillos I froze fall 2023. https://patijinich.com/tomatillo_and_lime_jam_1/?
Some will go into this green tomato/tomatillo chutney since I also have frozen green tomatoes. https://brooklynfarmgirl.com/green-tomato-and-tomatillo-chutney/

Recipe recommendation: Pickled Fennel Agrodolce https://www.milkwood.net/2015/10/09/pickled-fennel-agrodolche-storing-the-season/. I made this 3+ years ago when I didn't want to waste a bunch of fennel stalks. Kept it on the shelf, no hot canning, and it's perfectly good today. Just used it to make this WaPo cabbage, fennel, white bean soup (gift link https://wapo.st/3D0vL8K).
