Comments on: Preserving the hardy kiwi http://musicandcats.com/2007/11/preserving-the-hardy-kiwi/ "There are two means of refuge from the miseries of life: music and cats." --Albert Schweitzer Sat, 05 Nov 2011 10:08:30 -0700 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Kimberly http://musicandcats.com/2007/11/preserving-the-hardy-kiwi/comment-page-1/#comment-62599 Kimberly Sat, 10 Nov 2007 20:25:06 +0000 http://musicandcats.com/2007/11/preserving-the-hardy-kiwi/#comment-62599 'mouse: You're right! I do owe you a jar of something preserved... and would be happy to send you this. Sophie: One of the things that I love about buying most of our food from the farmers markets is that there's always something to look forward to. Vicki: Thanks -- an alien visiting only my kitchen would think that all humans spend lots of time leaning over simmering pots with their cameras. I never cared much for fuzzy kiwis, either, but these really are different. I eat those roasted tomatoes like fruit, too. Mom: There's a jar of kiwi-lemon preserves with your name on it. (Not literally, of course.) The USPS can be trusted with preserves, if packaged well, so you'll get yours before next summer. ‘mouse: You’re right!

I was going to ask you to save some for your next trip to Texas. But if you don't check luggage, the feds would make you dump them. Does this mean I have to wait until next summer to try them? Will there be any left? Love, Mom The kiwi/lemon preserves sound delicious. I was going to ask you to save some for your next trip to Texas.

I am not a fan of kiwis-there's something about the texture- but perhaps with some tartness and in the form of preserves. It certainly SOUNDS good. BTW, my tomatoes are done! Storage will not be a problem- I keep eating them like apricots. That’s such a wonderful photograph, Kimberly.

I'll keep an eye out (and I'll plot how I can wheedle a jar out of you... Hey, wait a minute, didn't I win a contest a couple years ago for which you owe me a jar of my choice from your larder?) Oh, and here's some <a href="http://www.kiwiberry.com/kiwi%20berries%20css.htm" rel="nofollow">more info I found</a>. "Presently, there are less than 200 acres of commercially grown hardy kiwi (A. arguta) on the planet." Wow, I never heard of ‘em.
