What I’m doing now: <\/b>I just harvested wild elderflowers from the local elderberry bushes that grow along Putah Creek near Winters. I made Elderflower Cordial<\/a> with them. When added to sparkling water or sparkling wine, it makes a refreshing Yolo County summer evening drink. Make it your new signature beverage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

January. <\/strong>Meyer Lemons are prolific right now, so I’m using them in a number of ways, including making preserved lemons. I use them with roast chicken and some Middle Eastern dishes. Preserved lemons<\/a> are stored in the refrigerator and are quite easy to make.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

November.<\/strong> November is a good time to make Traditional English Mincemeat with Suet, Candied Orange and Lemon Peel, to put in your December holiday pies and tarts.  I’ve just finished candying orange peels (Valencia, from my tree) and lemon peels (Lisbon, from my tree). These go into my homemade mincemeat and fruit cake for the holidays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use 3-5 kinds to create a more complex flavor, and I always add a stick or two of cinnamon when I’m cooking the sauce.  Here is my recipe. <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
