What's for dinner tonight ?

[WHO DAT]

Not supper, but will be the focus of many a dessert come this fall & winter!

I did not think our cherry tree was going to produce much of anything this year. The lack of sun meant that 65 - 70 % of what it was trying to grow either rotted on the vine, or simply dropped off the tree. Couple days back I noticed the local birds showing some interest, so quickly surveyed the situation. The ones that were there were ripe, so I set about the harvest. Hate ladders, but these things are so damn good I try to overlook that aspect...

Ended up with over 3.5 gallons of fine cherries! Excellent!

Graded and washed them, then set about to make my Lady's Absolute Favorite: Black Forest Cherries!

Pitting machine makes short work of that task:

One and half ounces of Cream de Cacao per pint, a hot light / medium syrup and ready to go:

Into the water bath canner for 15 minutes roiling boil:

And set to cool:

My Lady can never wait to try them on, and so as usual they barely cooled and she went at it.

Her findings??

Going to be downright pleasurable chowing down of these over the winter!
Three more batches to go...

Cheers,
Nog

Thanks for the inspiration! mmmmm the wife just utilized some this past weekend for a special dinner! Rack of Lamb ( I like mine medium) Oysters Rockefellers, Roasties , Spag Squash and Black Forrest Cake

Looking GREAT!
Can damn near taste both the scrumptious looking lamb and that uber fine looking cake!
Well Done!

Perhaps when the day arrives that the moderating on this forum isn't quite so draconian, I will once again post to this fine thread.
Until then, you can indeed find me at the Usual Other Places.

Cheers,
Nog

Pressure canned chicken soup. I was pleasantly surprised at how good it turned out. Made the stock in the pressure cooker first and then jarred the soup.

Did a Rib Eye roast earlier this month and this is a Thrifty's Prime Rib roast. Every bit as good as the Rib Eye and cheaper.
On sale again this week for $11.99 a pound.

Brutal. We're going ahead with ours. Wasn't THAT big though. I've lost a lot of respect for our leaders with this one.

My Christmas dinner is currently postponed. 6 of 9 people are sick. Waiting on covid test results. Apparently me and my bro can't get sick so props to us lol. Got one of those fancy fresh organic Turkeys that cost $100 so I guess that's going to have to go in the freezer. Should have bought a $18 turkey lol.
