Buttered Lips

Well, we're already into Autumn, but the farm and garden are still producing a lot of goodness! The past few weeks have been filled with apple pressing, dehydrating, making apple butter and hard cider; steaming grape juice; making powidl and cordial from the Italian plums; pears as sauce, canned slices and pear liqueur. Still have to harvest the sun chokes and potatoes. It's that crazy time of year when everything is ready at once 😳

I stopped focusing on the fruit bounty long enough to see that I had basil, tomatoes, chiles and herbs to use. So, tonight dinner was pasta with garden yummies. It's a riff on pasta primavera (spring pasta). But, I'm calling it Pasta di fine Estate (end of summer pasta).

I hope your harvest season is a happy one 🍁🌾🌻🍂
