What does one do with boiled peanuts? How are they eaten and what is the texture like? Im not familiar with boiled peanuts.

It's a southern thing. They are processed in the shell in a salt water brine. They are mother's milk to southern children and ambrosia to southern adults.

I really don't know how to explain them to you as there is nothing like them.

Go for it. You will not be dissappointed

But if you like it sweet add a little vinegar at a time, but if you like it tart....go ahead and add all the vinegar.

Enjoy

Yesterday our neighbor came over with enough wild blackberries to make 2 batches of jam. He wanted to learn how, so DH & I had volunteered to do it with him. What fun! Other than DH, I've never given canning lessons to a man. We each ended up with 9 jars of jam.

In the evening I chopped up enough oversized cucumbers, etc to make 16 half-pints of Sweet Pickle Relish. Over the next couple days I plan to make Squash Relish. Then Saturday at the farmers market, all of our CSA members will get a choice of relish to go with their share boxes.

Just wondering if anyone has a good recipe for sweet pickle relish. I've made enough dills now, and the love doesn't care a whole lot for bread and butters, but there's nothing better than a huge dollop of sweet relish in tuna salad.

Kim, you amaze me! If I even SUGGESTED teaching my husband, he would roll his eyes and walk outside and disappear for hours. LOL

I'm going to try to collect more clover today. I can't wait until my honeysuckle reblooms... usually starts again at the end of next month.
