676: Chs 50-51 — Emma
Ep. 676: Where My Sproing At? | Chapters 50-51 / Volume 3, Chapters 14-15 Book talk begins at 22:17. Frank's letter. Frank has NOT behaved beautifully, but do us a favor - take his letter at face value. Tune in and hear us out as we go over yarn, a vintage chinois, and other updates. --------------------------------------------------------------- • • • • • • • My sock darns—inside • Sock darn—outside • • • • • • • • Notes: Omg, I found the recipe!!! Here’s the recipe for Crabapple Chili ‘cheese’—like a chutney but fewer bits—and the recipe for Crabapple Chili jelly—which Thing 2 said tastes like better than real honey…which means I think I needed to cook it longer/higher, but 🤷🏻♀️ Either way, make the jelly first then save the pulp after straining to make the cheese. I didn’t have access to crabapples so instead I went to our local cidery and asked for the tartest/driest apples they had. She did not steer me wrong. I added a booster step this time: I have an apple peeler so I saved peels and cores, put them in a cheesecloth bundle, and cooked those down separately to get all the good pectin-y bits out. I reduced it by half then added that to the strained jelly. I also made this in an instant pot. I can’t always guarantee I’ll be able to get to the kitchen when a timer goes off, so I used our trusty InstaPot on ‘Manual’ for boiling (takes 1-1/2 to 2 one hour cycles to get a good boil on a vat of Fruit pulp) then I used its “slow cook” for simmering. Worked a dream. I did the cheese in a regular heavy-bottomed saucepan—much less of it to work with. *CraftLit’s Socials* • Find everything here: https://www.linktr.ee/craftlitchannel • Join the newsletter: http://eepurl.com/2raf9 • Podcast site: http://craftlit.com • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CraftLit/ • Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/craftlit • Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/craftlit/ • TikTok podcast: https://www.tiktok.com/@craftlit • Email: [email protected] • Previous CraftLit Classics can be found here: https://bit.ly/craftlit-library-2023 *SUPPORT THE SHOW!* • CraftLit App Premium feed bit.ly/libsynpremiumcraftlit (only one tier available) • PATREON: https://patreon.com/craftlit (all tiers, below) ——Walter Harright - $5/mo for the same audio as on App ——Jane Eyre - $10/mo for even-month Book Parties ——Mina Harker - $15/mo for odd-month Watch Parties *All tiers and benefits are also available as* —*YouTube Channel Memberships* —*Ko-Fi* https://ko-fi.com/craftlit —*NEW* at CraftLit.com — Premium Memberships https://craftlit.com/membership-levels/ *IF you want to join a particular Book or Watch Patry but you don't want to join any of the above membership options*, please use PayPal.me/craftlit or CraftLit @ Venmo and include what you want to attend in the message field.
