They tell us that we’ll have a freeze tonight, so this afternoon we harvested all 22 butternut squash, and some other large, orange squashes that are probably worthless but we’ll give them a try. I’m guessing they’re volunteer crosses between pumpkin and summer squash and probably worthless, but we don’t have much to lose by finding out how they cook up.
Last weekend I made two quarts of pickled beets that came out great — very pickley! I didn’t process them, so they’re in the refrigerator. If I have time this weekend, I’d like to make another four quarts and can them properly.
