Homemade pesto with homegrown basil These bags go into the freezer until we are ready to use them. A real treat in mid winter!!!!

I had to bring the newly packed pickled eggs outside in the sun..Like smiling jewels with their little white "grins" These will sit in the fridge for a minimum of 5 days. Then the insides will be magenta . They make the most awesome deviled eggs!!
My pickling brine is added to the jar.... I created this from cider vinegar, some brown sugar (not too much) a bit of seasalt, whole cloves, black peppercorns, star anise, whole garlic cloves a cinnamon stick, whole allspice...and a bit of candied ginger...
Hard boiled eggs are added to the quart mason jar with chunks of the cooked beets, sliced jalapeno pepper and raw onion thinly sliced
This is how you fool the fox in the the henhouse...put the eggs in mason jars!! Onni was fascinated!!
Today is egg pickling day!! This is what happened when I set a fresh cut beet down for a few minutes on a paper towel. I HEART BEETS!!!
