Sorry that I am a bit behind on my blog posts this week, but it's just been one of those weeks. Our oldest daughter's family all came down with the creepy crud and I spend some time running back and forth across town taking supplies to them and then another trip to take a pot of soup since she had her hands full with sick children and there was no cooking in her future. Tuesday was toast. Wednesday was volunteer day and then we went to dinner with our second daughter and her family and another day went by with no post. So, here I am today sharing a walk down memory lane with you. As Yogi Berra said, "it's de ja vu all over again." That always makes me laugh. But it truly is de ja vu all over again. Many of you are not old enough to remember the macrame craze of the 70's. Plant hangers, wall decorations, I even made macrame leather belts for Christmas one year. Yes, I did a lot of macrame and lo and behold it is ba-aack. Seriously. Who would have thought? So, I dusted off the rusty knot tying skills and made myself some candle holders for my patio umbrella. It's hard to see in this dark picture where they are actually hanging, but we put cup hooks in the wooden spokes of our patio umbrella and I hung my candle holders from there. It just dawned on me one day that was the solution to more table space and less clutter. Sometimes that creative spark is all you need to solve a little dilemma. This was one of those times when the perfect solution came to me. Love when that happens, don't you? And, it was fun putting these all together. I started with some little apothecary jars I bought at Old Tyme Pottery for 50 cents each. You could use baby food jars, small mason jars, anything you might have on hand, doesn't have to be these particular jars. I painted the inside with some Pebeo glass paint I had from another project. I did this by dropping some paint in the bottom of the jar, adding some acetone nail polish remover and swishing it around with a sponge brush until the inside was covered. Then, I turned them upside down and let them drain on some paper. Following the paint jar's instructions, I then put them in a 350 degree oven for 30 minutes and removed them after they had cooled. Easy peasey. They are all different colors that match the lights on our patio that I got as a Mother's Day gift last year. I was lucky enough to have paint in just the right colors. Nice coincidence. Now, to make the macrame hangers. I wanted simple and easy so I used a spool of jute twine I had from the Dollar Tree. It was more than enough to make these six hangers. I used my trusty yard stick and cut 8 pieces of twine, each piece one yard in length. Put all ends together and make a slip knot and pull it tight. This will make your hanger for the top. Now, you need something to hold the twine while you tie the knots. A clip board works well if you have one. I used my trusty candle holder that has little feet on the bottom. The loop fit right under one of the feet and the candle holder had enough weight to hold the twine in place. Now, separate the twine into 4 groups of 2 pieces of twine each. I went down about 12 inches to begin tying my first set of knots. You are going to tie an overhand knot which is super simple. You simply take the two pieces of twine and take it up over, around and through the middle. Now, pull it taught. Repeat with the remaining three groups of twine making sure the knots are each the same distance down the twine. Next, you are going to separate the pieces of twine by moving the far left and right piece out. Then, put a left and right piece together going across. This will make a "Y" shape. Now, go down 3 inches and make an overhand knot with each pair of twine pieces. You will have 3 knots. Finish by tying a knot bringing the far left and right piece together. Go down three inches and repeat the above process. You should be able to see how you have a hanger at this point. Your twine will be in a circle with diamond shapes between the knots. Repeat until you have 3 rows of knots. To finish, bring all the pieces of twine together, go down 1 inch from the bottom row of knots and tie a big overhand knot with all the twine. Your hanger is finished. You can place your jar inside the hanger. It will look like this. I know that reading the instructions sounds very confusing, especially if you have never done macrame but it is super easy if you just follow along with the actual twine. You will have a diamond pattern between the knots and that is what you need for a hanger to work. Next, I put some epsom salts in the bottom of the jars and placed a tea light candle in each jar. You can use sand also, just something that will allow the candle to sit flat. If you don't want real candles, you can use the battery operated flicker candles you get at the Dollar Store or craft store. They work great too. I am so happy with our candle hangers. The look great hanging from the umbrella and it gives us so much more space on the table. Using the cup hooks allows them to be easily removed for storage, especially if it is supposed to rain and then you can easily hang them back up. I made my hangers different lengths just because I wanted them that way. You can make yours whatever length you like using the same basic principles. I am thinking about making more to hang from trees in the yard and along the deck rail. They add a lovely ambiance to an evening on the deck. Here, you can see how we put the cup hooks in the spokes of the umbrella. Dan just pre-drilled a small hole and screwed the cup hooks in. This is an easy and inexpensive project. I have $1 in twine, $3 in jars and used paint that I already had. If you want to use the glass paint, you can get it at most craft stores and it is not expensive. Think how lovely these could look at an outdoor wedding. Now, I am inspired to make more. It's de ja vu all over again! Everyday Donna Things to Remember: You can observe a lot by just watchin'.

The recipe I am sharing today is vert poignant, as it was my mum's recipe for Traditional Homemade Pickled Onions, and she made a few jars every November for the Christmas tea table. Why only make these in November? Well, in the UK you start to see small "pickling onions" in the greengrocers and supermarkets from October onwards, and with a view to the Christmas buffet table, and that ubiquitous cheese board, now is the time to make these pickled onions so they have time to "mature" for 6 weeks. If you make them in the first week of November, they will be wonderfully mellow but still crisp and crunchy by the time the festive period starts in earnest. These Traditional Homemade Pickled Onions WILL keep quite happily for up to a year in the pantry, as long as it is cool and dark, but they are best eaten with 6 months. Serve these traditional pickled onions with cheese, cold meats, pork pies, ploughman's lunch as well as with quiches, flans and salads. They are also great when served with fish and chips, in the style of a proper "Yorkshire Fish Supper". I also have a recipe for pickled shallots here: Christmas in a Jar – Pickled Shallots should you have problems finding small pickling onions.

[Updated from May, 2019] I began making pine cone jam in May 2019 (I posted about it @66squarefeet on Instagram) after a wonderful shoreline walk on the edges of New York City, where I noticed tiny-tiny baby pine cones. I was actually hunting for pine pollen, but these petite cones intrigued me. They were much tinier than the larger green cones I'd used before to make fermented syrup. I collected a little bagful. Looking for ideas back at home, I chanced upon a reference to this jam, and one helpful recipe that noted Georgian heritage. I also scoured searched my Russian and Georgian cookbooks, but came up with nothing. At the time there was very little online. Although I did find bottles of pricey mugolio. It's the richly-flavored syrup that forms during cooking the young pine cones and sold in Italy - the name taken from the pine species Pinus mugo. My first Instagram posts about the jam exploded, and the recipe I posted back then may have nudged things along quite rapidly, online: You will now find many more recent posts and videos. Russians like it. Eastern Europeans like it. Turks seem to like it. Pine cone jam (sometimes the resulting syrup is referred to and sold as pine honey) is considered treat and medicine. Used for coughs. The flavor is tartly sweet, resinous, and the "honey" is like molasses licked from a spoon in a pine forest. It's really nice in drinks. And it's hard to imagine that the hard little cones become soft and chewable after cooking, but they do. A traditional Caucasian and Russian way to enjoy them is as a medicinal spoonful stirred into hot black tea. I like them dotted sparingly on crunchy toast atop labneh. Their honey-slash-syrup is delicious roasted with carrots and other root vegetables, stirred into the pan juices to pour over pan-seared pork chops, or duck breast (perhaps deglazed with some bourbon or fruity vinegar), or for dessert, mixed with the first strawberries. There is always ice cream! To make pine syrup gin or vodka, add a quarter cup of the syrup with cones to 2 cups of the liquor. Leave for a day, shaking now and then, until the syrup has dissolved. Strain and bottle. It makes noteworthy seasonal cocktails. The pine cones I collect are mostly from exotic Japanese black pine (Pinus thunbergii), popular in local seashore landscape and park plantings because of their salt-tolerance. Native pitch pine (Pinus rigida) occurs, too (its little cones are very sharp and rough on the fingers). You want immature, small cones, green inside. While you work, it helps to have rubbing alcohol handy: Your fingers get very sticky, and the alcohol is very effective at dissolving the resin. For clean up after cooking, use rubbing alcohol, again, or mineral oil, to dissolve the very tenacious resin residue on the edges of your pot and any implements you use. The first time I made the jam I experimented with five different batches. For the first three I boiled the cones in water (to remove some resin), then another three times in syrup, in the tradition of Russian varenye, where entire fruits are cooked and cooled - important - multiple times in syrup. I also boiled four and five times, and for the final batch made the jam without the water bath, and using honey instead of sugar. That last version was much more resinous when cool, above! It all got stuck. I liked them all, but four seems the magic number, to me. The point is that the jam needs to come to a boil often enough for the green cones to be pleasantly chewable, so the number of boil-cools will vary, depending on big your baby pine cones are. Do not skip the cooling. It's time-consuming, but will result in delicious pine cones, rather than hard nuggets. Pine Cone Jam For three 1-cup capacity jars of pine cone jam you need: 8 oz (about 2.25 cups) finger-nail-sized immature pine cones* 6 cups water 2 cups sugar *I've made jam with much larger cones, too. Their size matters less than green-ness. If the baby cones still have a piece of stem attached, remove it. Left on it will become tough during the cooking process. Sometimes I skip this part but always regret it! (It's sometimes easier to do this after the boiling step, below.) The Pre-Boil: Place the pine cones in a pot, cover with water and bring to a boil. Cook at a gentle boil for 5 minutes. Turn the heat off. A layer of resin will collect on the surface like a little oil slick - carefully scoop his layer off, and discard. Then drain the pine cones. The Jam: Once all the water is poured off, add the 2 cups of sugar and the 6 cups of water to the pot with the boiled cones. Stir. Return to the stove and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat so that the liquid simmers. Cook at a simmer for 5 minutes. Turn off heat and cool completely. When the mixture is cool, bring to a boil again, for 1 minute. Turn off and cool. Bring to a 1-minute boil for a third time, turn off the heat, then cool again. Repeat these steps until the liquid has transformed from watery to syrupy. Now test a cone. Is it chewable? If it is you can stop, and bottle the cones with their dark 'honey' in sterile jars. Or repeat the boil-cool steps until they have softened more and the honey is thick. It can take from five to eight boils, in my experience. _____________ Find more wild foods and recipes in my book: Forage, Harvest, Feast - A Wild-Inspired Cuisine
