TIDBITS AND LINKS

*  BARGAIN!  Smith & Nelson in Tonasket is selling pears and Golden and Gala apples - $10 for a 40 pound box!  And they are very good!!

*  If you are looking for some interesting things to see or do this time of year, check out my recent blog post. 

*  The Bonaparte Lake Resort is under new ownership since last fall.  They have spent the winter months renovating the restaurant and have recently reopened.  We decided to mosey on up there for dinner last night, and were very impressed!  They have managed to retain the rustic appeal, but the place is very CLEAN, and the food was excellent!  Be sure and check them out!!  

FROM MY KITCHEN TO YOURS...

Mexican Pickled Carrots

I had these at a Mexican restaurant once, served along with the chips and salsa.  They were really good, but very unusual, and I knew I had to track down a recipe to make them on my own...  Thank you, oh wonderful internet, I finally found the right one a few years back, and have added them to my canning list. (Though they do not need to actually be processed.)

 

2 lbs. carrots - peeled, cut into large chunks

2 yellow onions - sliced

1 1/2 quarts warm water

7 oz. canned jalapenos - with liquid

1 tbsp. dried Oregano

6 garlic cloves - halved or sliced

2 cups cider vinegar

1/4 olive oil

2 bay leaves

1 tbsp. salt

 

1.  Bring carrots and water to boil in large pot.  Boil for five minutes; remove from heat.

2.  Add remaining ingredients.  Cover and let cool several hours.

3.  Remove peppers before transferring to jars. 

 

Makes 2+ quarts.  Let sit three days before using.
