Good afternoon everyone, hope you have a wonderful day so far and a great start of the day ahead! π€
Kiwis are winter fruits, ripen from October to May that are not only packed with vitamin C to increase strength for our immune system but also bring out the warmth and tropical feeling when enjoying them during colder months now. I had some at home and my mom gave me some too so I decided to make kiwi jam and pie, tasty an. ππ
Kiwi jam recipe:
Kiwi is one of the fruit that has natural pectin so they make perfect ingredient to make jam.
I roughly cut one box of ripen kiwis (about 20 fruits) and cook in medium heat pot with juice of 2 small lemons and 2 tbsp of cane sugar. Let it stew until liquid evaporated. Let it cool. I save a bit in airtight container to have with avocado and the rest is used for pie filling. I used the same ingredients to make pie crust and empanada like last time. I made 2 mini pies, I froze one for another time. ππ
It is sort of sour kiwi lemon pie and perfectly paired with Chamomile flower tea Iβve enjoyed so much on this rainy day. π§π«π₯§ππ
As always, be inspired, be joyful, take a picture and Enjoy it! πβ€οΈ
That really does sound good, and not something I ever thought of making. I use kiwis in salads with avocado and whatever else but have never thought of cooking them π₯ Thank you for the ideas π
Awe thank you very much HungryHufflepuff! π€π
I love making kiwi cucumber salad too, it makes such a refreshing summer salad over here. ππ
As always my mom gave me plenty and they are ripen so the best way is to make jam and dessert.
Iβm pleased to share and receive all cooking ideas with our friends here in VFL. πππ
We enjoy chamomile tea here as well!
Baby is great and extremely well and still getting spoilt and enjoyed her haggis yesterday for her Monday treat!
Last Friday we made some parsnip and apple soup and some pumpkin and winter squash soup as well to warm up the dreary autumn days!
How's Sonya and Lucy getting on?

Hi Catgirl, chamomile tea is so calming for such a heavy rainy day yesterday but Iβm glad because weβve experienced the drought for long time here in California.
Your autumn soup sounds so delicious and very interesting parsnip apple soup, I shall look up for recipe. Thank you for such great idea. πππ
Love to hear Baby is thriving and cuter than ever. Thank you for asking as everyone is doing good. π»
Kiwis are one of my favorite fruits. Delicious and nutritious π. Your pie looks so good and I'm sure I would enjoy it very much. Have a good dayπ€π.
Awe thank you Debs very much for saying that! π€π
I enjoyed a few slices and chamomile tea so calming yesterday so much. It was heavy rain which California needs it, been a long time we have some good rain. π
Hope you enjoy your dinner and end the evening with a nice cup of you wonderful collection of tea Debs! π
I am so glad you enjoyed it Koko, it does look great πand glad you have had lots of much needed rain. This is what I had for my tea - it was very interesting and did not use much gas up
Oh wow Debs as I looked it up, itβs part of the Christmas launch vegan selected meals. Absolutely yummy from the description. They have 2 kinds last year: Root Vegetable Vegan Nut Roast with pistachios and cranberry sauce centre, Root Vegetable & Camembert Nut Roast with cashew nuts & a melting camembert centre. ππ
This is the newest launch this year with walnuts instead. Do you enjoy it Debs? I think cashew and walnut would be my choice. I need to see if our Aldi here carries these. π
I did enjoy them Koko, They had a slightly sweet taste. It made a really nice change. Aldi does some lovely vegan sausages - they are so delicous even though the texture is a little shall we say rubbery π
I think Aldi in the UK carries much more options than in the US. For my location, i can only rely on WholeFood Market as my go to if I want to look for vegan varieties.
Very interesting texture, thanks for letting us know. Iβm so glad you enjoyed it and yes we like to experience varieties of vegan goodness. ππ
I went in Aldi by my parentsβ house they sell more stuffs like regular market, few vegan items, bunch of sugary drinks and household items. π
Thereβs another one called Gelson that one has good stuffs but itβs in the area that parking is inconvenient so I just go into WholeFood instead. π
It is amazing whatβs out there now. What a difference from the days where one had to go to specialist food shops to be able to buy soy milk which was brown and beany!
