This week I have decided to take what our family refers to as a “stay-cation”.  Of course, I would rather be on a wilderness trip somewhere but we’ve bought a 130 year old Victorian house and we need to do some work on it. Perhaps I should say my husband needs to do some work on it—there is no way I am getting up on scaffolding. Anyway while I am trying to stay out of his way I’ll be in the kitchen testing new recipes for my various projects including wildernesscooking.com. My presence on the blog may be somewhat sporadic.

In the meantime I will leave you with this…

Over the weekend I tried my hand at making red pepper jelly. We like to have it with cream cheese and crackers on some of our shorter backcountry trips. It’s really good on a bagel with cream cheese too. I was pleasantly surprised at how much better it tasted compared to the store-bought varieties I’d been trying. It’s surprisingly easy to make and worth the small effort.
