That's excellent. We have a pink pearl apple tree in our backyard that we may attempt to do some preserving with this year - it makes neon pink applesauce, which is pretty stunning.<br /><br />And I'll say hi next time I see ya!<br /><br />Cheers,<br />NateUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11038608472007003338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4634389643340379235.post-27798803717475430292010-03-26T10:31:34.852-07:002010-03-26T10:31:34.852-07:00Hi Nate:

( should be more frequently as the weather improves) Once the sun comes out, most of our neigbhors can be found in front of one of our houses drinking wine or beer, and watching the kids play and speeders speed by.<br /><br />The trellis is an espalliered Asian Pear tree.. it's producing a good amount after 2 years and should produce enough to preserve this year .<br /><br />cheers.Portland Charcuterie Projecthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11741838890062064902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4634389643340379235.post-50617654552405963272010-03-25T16:04:29.170-07:002010-03-25T16:04:29.170-07:00Hey Todd,

Nice to find similarities and differences, reasons, inspirations and support just as much as how you pickle your cucumbers!

I just moved here to portland (also a PA transplant) and have some free time on my hands. I would love to delve into some charcuterie, pickling, etc. but don't have the space to do so right now. I would love some advice on how to get started up. Give me a shout at trob3@hotmail.com if you're interested. Thanks.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10585558468686276710noreply@blogger.com
