A Day Off Pigs

Finally, yesterday, the heat broke and we had a lovely ordinary busy day. The pigs and piglets napped in the sun.  We made sweetcorn relish, and bread and croqueta. 

And Summer Sauce (basically I chuck everything we picked on that day into the slow cooker and cook it for hours). The sauce is partially blended, cooled,  and ladled into labeled ziplock bags.  The labels give a good description of what is in the sauce. Then they are sealed then placed flat into a plastic container that is the exact size of the trays in my big freezer with the label facing the side.  Later I just tip the frozen sauce out and they all stack up in the freezer like books. I stack them in a way that I can read each label and retrieve the sauce I want without having to rummage through everything.

And Jo my beautiful willowy visitor took Camera House for a walk – luckily – because the moment the temperatures drop many of the Waiting List of jobs feel doable. So we were all working flat out and sharing the camera.

And this morning we have another cool day and I started early and already have achieved heaps. Just Sheila to shift to a new field and the teenager chicks shifted to their first outdoor home.

I am so late posting! Now it is coffee and breakfast time.

Love celi

PS Here is my sweetcorn relish recipe. I do not have the time to write the whole recipe out for you so I have taken a photo of the card from my own recipe box. Click on the image and it will get bigger for you. It is in my shorthand though so if you do make it  just ask your questions in the comments and I will  decipher it for you. 

FP is food processor,  c is cup.
