Lakes with cream cheese, smoked salmon and cranberry, rosehip chutney. Delicious!
First Night gifts, new socks for everyone. To remind them to follow the path of Torah.
And the pup got a new dreidel dog toy.
Love & Light to you this Festival of Lights!!
Hanukkah Sameach!!
Back in September when Niki was here, we foraged a lot of food. We picked abundant low-bush cranberries, rosehips and crabapples. I found the perfect recipe on Pinterest to make with all three them!
Over at The Backyard Forager I found this gem, Cranberry, Rosehip & Crabapple chutney. It’s amazing and very simple to make. One variation I made was to leave the rosehip seeds in and then put the cooked mixture through a ricer to make a smooth sauce. So much simpler than seeding those little hips.
It’s amazing with turkey.
I cannot wait to use it to top a latke with cream cheese & smoked salmon, it’s gonna be delicious!
I bet it’s wonderful on top of salmon croquettes too.
It’s going on some grilled chicken soon.
The possibilities are endless.
I can’t tell how good it feels to eat delicious food that you foraged yourself. Alaska feeds us so well.
Head over to The Backyard Forager, there’s a plethora of information there, recipes, online classes, and much more.
Today will be busy, to say the least. But I’ll take a moment to express my gratitude for those special people in my life. There are many, many people I could name but for brevity’s sake I’ll keep it to two groups!
My kids top the list of course. We have our challenges but each of them brings their own special something to our home. Their creativity, their wit, their uniqueness. I love them so.
Then there’s my bestest friends, my solstice sisters. They make everything right when we’re together. I can’t thank them enough for all the things.
There are others of course, many, which I hold dear. Today will be spent focusing on these blessings and the other 29 days worth of posts that bring joy and meaning to my life.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Alaska on my mind...
