Persimmon Chutney
Our neighbor, Keith, brought over some Persimmons that he got from a tree at his work. I made Persimmon Chutney~And it is delicious:)
FUYU Persimmon Chutney
makes 4 cups
8 large FUYU persimmons
1 cup sugar
2/3 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup raisins
1 tablespoon grated ginger
1 cup yellow onion, minced
4 tablespoons whole mustard seed
2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon garlic
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Peel, remove seeds and chop the persimmons into a small dice. Combine all ingredients in a heavy pot and bring to a boil. Once boiling, turn down heat and simmer while stirring frequently until the chutney begins to thicken and become syrupy, about 20 minutes.
Ladle chutney into hot sterile jars. Leave a 1/2 inch head-space. Top with a new lid and band. Process in a hot water bath for 10 minutes for half-pint jars. See Home Canning Basics for more information about the canning process. If you are not preserving for shelf storage, ladle chutney into sterile jars and keep in the refrigerator for up to one month.
For those
of you not lucky enough to be on a ~North Carolina Adventure~I'm guessing you
could substitute other fruits....You could perhaps try adding turmeric for the Persimmon color

Making a Holly Wreath

Here we have a Praying Mantis Egg~I put it outside quickly so they didn't warm up to the idea of hatching....which is an amazing site to see. I put it where I can watch it in the Spring:)
And the final product....Don't look too closely at the bow.
I warned you....maybe I will buy a bow....
