Making your own pumpkin pie is so worth it and very rewarding as well. What an amazing feeling it was at Thanksgiving to serve Pumpkin Pie that we grew right from seed in our very own Garden.

You can use different varieties of Pumpkins for Pumpkin Pie Puree filling but we choose to use a Jarrahdale Pumpkin (Blue Pumpkin) for ours and we were not disappointed! STEP 1: Make sure your pumpkin is all...

Canned Sweet Homestyle Pickled Beets

You can feel the cooler weather upon us as we start to notice the leaves change from green to bright gold, yellow and red. The sun sets early this time of year and you know winter is right around the corner when we get that cool North Wind. This time of year is busy cleaning up the yard for winter and of course the Garden harvest.
