Ontario plum and peach jam..
Garden jalapeno hot sauce..
I love autumn.
The best season by far in my opinion. I love the colours of fall. It's when all the vibrant fresh hues of summer are brought to a slower pace and gently condensed, like some wonderful stew simmering on the stove top. Everything turns a gorgeous amber, golden hue and you can smell hot apple cider and pumpkin pie wafting through the air at the outdoor fall fair. It's also the season to harvest summer's sun soaked bounty, when the weather cools enough to have the pots bubbling away with jams and pickling brine. It's so satisfying to see the rows of preserves lining the pantry shelves, waiting for that wintery day when you need to spread some sunshine on your toast or that dollop of spicy jalapeno sauce on your homemade quesadillas.
I've started to nest. Cosy afghans have replaced my linen cushion covers on the couch and I can feel a nip in the air when I poke my toes out from under the warm quilt on my bed in the morning.
This weekend is supposed to be cool, sunny and perfect..hoping you all have a wonderful couple of days!
