Foster Cheese Haus

Here are some pictures from a delightful store/restaurant in Western Wisconsin called the Foster Cheese Haus, which features locally grown foods like artisan wine and cheese. The soup and the bread in the pictures are homemade, the salad greens are locally grown, and the atmosphere is positively remarkable (check out the boulders in the pictures)! They also have a large collection of local beers, a bakery, and cafe.

Three Sauces in One Outcome

It was ambitious but last week I did complete Janet Chadwick's 3-in-1 canning project I described in a previous post (and managed to be in bed by 10:30 pm every night). Above you see (left to right) seven half-pint jars of chutney, seven pints of sweet and sour sauce....

and below, seven pints of Indian BBQ relish...

It took me several days to prepare...one night to prepare the peaches and another to prepare the tomato puree. But it was worth it.

The entire process quieted my mind and relaxed me during a stressful week with school finally back in session.

I can't wait to crack open these sauces to serve with different dishes throughout the fall and winter.
