Become Pro Vegetarian Chef

I got back a few hours ago from my short break in the U.K. I will share more later next week with lots of photographs, but this evening I share with you a easy Plum and Raspberry Ketchup or Sauce. Both the plums and the raspberries are from my garden plot.   This Plum Ketchup was the result of an accident.   I had planned to make  Plum Leather, but I had pureed the plums way too much that I had to find a way of rescuing them rather than washing it down the sink.  As well as making this Plum and Strawberry Ketchup, I also made a Plum Milkshake and Plum Yogurt Ice-Cream. The raspberry vinegar is optional.  I had some that I h ad been gifted to me by m sister in law a couple of years back and this was a good way to finish off the bottle that has mostly been used for salad dressings.  I am sharing this Plum Sauce with Elizabeth's Kitchen Diary for No Waste Food Challenge .  Easy Plum and Raspberry Ketchup 1 kg plums, core removed 100grams...

I spent a few hours in the garden over the weekend.  Clearing vegetable plots in readiness for next year.   I have pulled out the last of the marrow and courgette plants and did a quite a bit of weeding. The squash and pumpkin plants did not do well at all, so they got pulled out too.  These are the last courgettes, some with flowers in tact.  I will be chopping and then roasting them in the oven with a little oil and seasoning, and then dousing them with a squirt of fresh lemon juice to be served as a side dish. The red tomatoes i n the greenhouse are still coming along.  Soon there will be no more red tomatoes, just greens ones. I will have to pick up some jars, so that I can make green tomato chutney .  We also have some rainbow chard in the garden plot.  My husband, who I affectionately call D on the blog pulled out the last of the rhubarb stalks. I thought they may have been too far gone, but apparently the season ends September....
