"Jan Brydges, who lives on a property with a vineyard in the South Burnett,
uses the harvest leftovers to make jellies. "I make grape jelly, muscat jelly
and verdelho jelly as well as a lemon grapefruit marmalade. We grow the
lemons and grapefruit but we also tend to swap fruit with neighbours," she
says."

"As viscous as motor oil swirled in a swamp, redolent of burnt bell peppers
nested in by incontinent mice and a finish reminiscent of the dregs of a
stale can of Coca-Cola that someone has been using as an ashtray. Not a bad
drink, though."
Excerpt from "The Moose Turd Wine Tasting" by T. A. Nonymous

Sorry, that position is filled, but she might apply for "Aussie Beet
Pickle Lady". Have her send her vitae and photos of her ribbons to

That is really interesting.

"The practices of our waste-not, want-not grandparents are coming back into
vogue as we search for ways to make our grocery bills shrink. Buying food in
season and in bulk is one way it used to be done, with the excess preserved
for leaner times."

Here in Utah, it's a way of life, we try to be as self sufficient as
possible - we grow, buy in bulk, stock, store, dry, can and bottle food for
emergency purposes including sharing with others who have fallen on hard
times.

I have just started reading Mark Kurlansky's "The Food of a
Younger Land". We lost a lot of variety when people started
resorting to store-bought foods. Do you can (etc.) things that
one never sees on store shelves now?
