  2. Ruby & Jessie, working on straining pureed quince. Making quince paste.
    They were telling me about some giant blender machine, in the larger commercial kitchen, down the hall.

    Me: "I'm not going to go in the blender but I'm saying, I want to see the size of it."

  3. Shortly after I arrived to work with our small LifeCycles Project crew. We made lots of new pasteurized apple juice, fig jam, grape jelly & quince paste. I'll be selling them at Esquimalt Holiday Market on November 23rd, at Archie Browning Arena. Come see me & get some goodies! All profits made go right back into our nonprofit towards operating costs.
