In our neighborhood are many fruit trees, where the fruit is not being picked and just falls to the ground or gets put out on the street by the gardeners. I talk to the neighbors and pick up the fallen apples to make apple sauce.

these are brilliant and I never thought to do my own coconut milk!

Anne Marie, like many of your readers, I prefer homemade stock or bone broth to store-bought. Rather than packing the stock in plastic, I'm looking for a glass substitute. Recommendations?

I have been making roasted tomato sauce with my tomato crop. I vary according to what I have in the garden: herbs, onion tops, cherry tomatoes, slicing tomatoes, olive oil, salt, and roast at 300 degrees till soft and reduced in liquid. I am using a food mill with the medium screen which removes skin but not much seed. It is an easy, rich sauce.

This is a fabulous post. Thank you so much. I’m going to see if I can get your book from the library or purchase it. Such brilliant ideas. I didn’t even realise that tahini was so simple to make. I will definitely try the coconut milk as well. Do you use glass containers for all your freezing?

I love all your ideas. I've just finished making my third batch of tomato sauce. I'm definitely going to try your homemade coconut milk. Although I am able to get good stuff at Costco for about 2 bucks a can. I also love making my own yogurt. I'm in Canada and pretty sure that food is more expensive than the US. All the more reason to try all your great ideas!
