Sweet potatoes are supposed to 'cure' to get the best flavor. Ours were too small this year to do much with so I just threw them in with peppers, regular potatoes, beets and onions in a roaster in the oven with olive oil and my favorite spices...ginger, cinnamon and pepper. We grew Hungarian Black Peppers this year and they were a total success, 29 to 35 peppers per plant, jalapeno sized and sweet but hot flavor. Not as hot as jalapenos but very nice. Black peppers ripening to a deep dark red. Beautiful purple flowers too. Just a success! We are so enjoying your blog.<br /><br />Fiona and RalphFionahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05348495575211204989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7003348645601520194.post-58541316923624419172013-11-06T20:50:42.871-06:002013-11-06T20:50:42.871-06:00Salt pork!

She'd make a stew of the salt pork, beans, and onions. Now I realize why hers was so salty.

We too are somewhat relieved to have the garden done with and get out the yarn buckets and quilt squares and fire up the wood stove! Love the season and the cold!Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18209722078916803400noreply@blogger.com
