My Winter Kitchen

My kitchen and cooking habits are more seasonal than even I realize sometimes.  It’s not always about what’s being prepared, though there is that too, I’m not cooking any asparagus this time of year for example.  My routines are seasonal too.   We eat more soups in fall and winter, salads in spring and summer.  More things are coming out of glass jars during this season whereas in late summer tons of goodness is being put into jars and shelved for these days right now.

There are some fresh meals but not as many as in the garden flush days of summer.  Still most everything is slow cooked over a period of a day and again lots of soups made with homemade bone broths.

In fact homemade bone broths are the only thing going into jars and canners these days.  They don’t stick around for long, jars seem to empty almost as quickly as they were filled.  Still, it’s all so very satisfying – the cooking of the broth, the watching of the pressure gauge, the ping of jars sealing, the whoosh of air as the jar comes unsealed, and of course the devouring of rich, healthy broth is never a bad thing.

What’s happening in your kitchen these days?
