Yvonne commented on Jay Geneske's blog post 'Apple Cinnamon Butter'"Reminds me of holidays in New Zealand where they make a lot of this. Thanks for sharing, sounds delicious. Love the canning rack too! BTW - 7:45 - that's practically afternoon for some folk ; ))"
Caroline Malcolm commented on Jay Geneske's blog post 'Apple Cinnamon Butter'"Thanks, Jay. And thanks for your contributions to the site! I think I'm going to the Brooklyn Food Conference in May. I love what's going on in NYC!"
Jay Geneske commented on Jay Geneske's blog post 'Apple Cinnamon Butter'"Thanks Caroline! I'm a huge fan of homegrown and love browsing through all of the content. Yes, I'm in Manhattan. Making my way toward a more local, homegrown lifestyle."

7:45am is one of my favorite times of the day. There is a quiet in my apartment that is palpable. The sun glows over the buildings on Broadway, and I can hear the whispered hum of my refrigerator. In only an hour, I'll be on the subway headed for the tangled wilderness of midtown Manhattan, but for now I have the world to myself.Apple Cinnamon ButterMakes 12 4-once jarsFull recipe at localfood.me.See More

Yvonne commented on Jay Geneske's blog post 'Two Winter Pear Preserves'"Caroline, here is a quick easy version of a mixed veg pickle by one of my favourite indian cooks, Madhur Jaffrey.
My guess is that the sames spice mix would work with the velvety texture of butternut squash, along with onions, parsnip root,…"
Caroline Malcolm commented on Jay Geneske's blog post 'Two Winter Pear Preserves'"Yvonne, what spices would you use for the chutney?"
Yvonne commented on Jay Geneske's blog post 'Two Winter Pear Preserves'"Sounds yummy.
Bet Butternut Squash would make a good spicy, hot indian-style chuntney too. Maybe I should give it a try....thanks for the inspiration."
Caroline Malcolm commented on Jay Geneske's blog post 'Two Winter Pear Preserves'"Sounds wonderful! Nice going, Jay!"

- What kind of HOMEGROWN are you?
- Dirt Under My Fingernails City Slicker, Fill in the Blank
- Fill in the blank:
- Aspiring urban-dwelling locavore
- A bit about me:
- I’d like to think I’ve always been a healthy eater and a champion of the environment. That is until a series of events made me second guess my urban lifestyle. Films like Food, Inc. and books like Eating Animals have challenged me to think about my footprint, especially around food consumption.
I started exploring what it really means to eat as sustainably as possible, especially in a place like New York City. Questions began circling:
“Is it possible to cook like this in my tiny New York kitchen?”
“Will eating organically and shopping at farmers’ markets be too expensive?”
"Why do we have beautiful parks in NYC, yet mostly neglect our water surrounding them?"
So I decided to start a "Local Me" journey, and have been documenting it on a blog (http://localme.tumblr.com/)as I go.
I've been so thrilled to find places like homegrown.org to uncover new ideas, make new connections, and get better and better at being homegrown!
- Latest greatest meal cooked at home:
- Last night! Local dish: sweet potato quesadillas with seasonal greens.
- Currently reading:
- "Switch" "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close"
- Currently listening to:
- Yusef Lateef
- My latest DIY project:
- Probably my blog. I've also just planted a small urban garden on my tiny NYC balcony.
- How did you find HOMEGROWN.org?

This is a winner. Tart, sweet, savory, chewy, and sour. All at the same time. Will wonders never cease?
