I was in a real pickle about where to post all these amazing asparagus recipes this month. should i post them here with all the ridiculous (i mean that in a good way) rhubarb recipes? …or here, ’cause they are all pickles!
i think i made the right choice.
“omg, tigresses are so dumb” ahem…it’s a tough crowd.

whew!…ya done good this month guys and girls! and if you do not see your link rounded-up above go here for the reason why.
I noticed that some of you had trouble finding the food in focus in season in your clime. in order to meet the challenge you purchased frozen rhubarb or peruvian asparagus – for example. and that’s ok.
But i want to bring back into focus the local intention, and i quote:
- substitute of food in focus is acceptable only if it really is not in season where you are and you would rather use a fruit or veggie that you can source locally. in this case, effort should be made, if possible, to choose a substitute that is closest to the focused food. and please, don’t let this stop you! we’re learning about canning here people! so can what you can!
It is very, very cool that everyone is really trying to work with the produce in focus. but as we head smack dab into the thick of preserving season there will most likely be abundant fruits and veggies from farmers in your community. if you really don’t have the food in focus close to home, then by all means take the above into consideration.
And on to june! please hop over to see joel and dana at well preserved because they have until this friday at midnight to let you know what’s about to be in your kitchen and in your jars!
Please note that june’s entry must be posted sunday june 20th to friday june 25th, with friday at midnight being the deadline. and if you haven’t been there yet, go here for more rhubarb than you can shake an asparagus at! now go forth and preserve!
