Also stopped st Stater Bros to pick up some more Hershey's cocoa for my morning smoothies -- I'm almost out! -- and some ground ginger, ground cumin, & cinnamon sticks so I could make some Orange Cumin Chutney with some of the oranges I got from Vickie last Friday. More details about that down below.
We had lunch at Subway. I had a coupon for a $6 Italian Hero footlong, so Brianne had that, while I had a chopped salad with rotisserie chicken, provolone cheese, tomatoes, cucumber, pickles, lettuce, spinach, Oregano, Parmesan, & oil and vinegar. Yum!
After lunch, I met up with our neighbor Debra to get some more jars, then I bought some strawberries, some leaf lettuce, and some pickles at our local farmers market.
When we got home, I resumed the chutney. I started it last night because the first step is to zest 2 lbs of oranges, salt the zest, & let it sit overnight. Here's the zest last night:
And here it is after we got home about 3pm:
I then rinsed the zest and tore it into little pieces into a 6 quart tall pan.
Here it is with the rest of the ingredients thrown in. I used the half grapefruit I had leftover, too.
After stirring:
The recipe called for dried cranberries and/or cherries, so I used some of the dried cranberries I have been soaking in port wine.
Here's the finished chutney:
I picked out the cinnamon stick and then poured the chutney into jars.
I intend to use the little 4 oz portion to make the cheese spread that's at the bottom of the recipe page!
The rest of it will get eaten here and/or used for more cheese spread, or given to friends.
After the chutney, I got busy doing other stuff and do didn't eat anything else today. 😕
I still have four grapefruit and about a dozen oranges left!
