Elderberry alert!
.
I finally picked the elderberries in the garden and made a batch of Pontack!
.
This little known fruity/spicy sauce if great added to casseroles, soups or pies; it has almost a brown sauce like flavour but fruitier and richer

If your interested, here’s the recipe:
500g elderberries mixed with 250ml cider vinegar, put in an earthen casserole dish with a lid and put in the oven overnight at 100c (no higher)
.
Next morning strain it into a pan and squeeze all the juice from the berries (I use a masher)

Add 1 blade of mace, 4 all spice berries, 6 cloves, 1 tsp black pepper corns and a thumb size chunk of ginger that’s been bashed to release the flavour and 2 shallots chopped
.
Put the lid on and simmer for 25, then strain again and boil for 5 mins; finally bottle and store

A trick to utilise ur food/vegetable discards - they can be used to produce microgreens. The other day, saved a few #pudina / #mint stalks (mind you didn't have roots) and just put them in my experimental #microgreen pot. And viola some fresh mint leaves ve sprouted. 1/2
Similarly with most green leafy vegetables - had planted some discarded amaranth (Chowli) stalks w/ roots couple of years ago - but it still keeps sprouting more courtesy da seeds. #MicroGreens #kitchengarden. Same with #spinach / palak - Homegrown #superfoods 2/2
