Feels like Fall

September 30, 2017 / phillipsfarmbatavia / Leave a comment

This morning is the best of both worlds. I came out on the front porch with my breakfast - homemade bread topped with cheese, bacon and some of my final luscious Black Krim tomatoes - only to have to go back inside for a blanket. I can see my breath!  I love the crispness of … Continue reading Feels like Fall

Pears in Red Wine

September 26, 2017September 22, 2017 / phillipsfarmbatavia / Leave a comment

I'm finally nearing the end of my huge harvest of pears but found one more recipe I wanted to try: Pears in Red Wine.  This one comes from my favorite canning cookbook: Canning for a New Generation by Liana Krissoff. To begin, I set my canning pot on the stove to boil and sanitized my … Continue reading Pears in Red Wine

Another tiny farmer in the making

September 24, 2017September 22, 2017 / phillipsfarmbatavia / Leave a comment

Last Sunday at family dinner, my little nephew Landen had his first mobile experience with chickens.  He's just beginning to get stable enough on his feet to walk in the yard by himself.  My brother brought him out to the chicken coop to see what he'd do. He got out in front of the workshop … Continue reading Another tiny farmer in the making

Perry Mead: A Yeast Experiment

September 22, 2017September 22, 2017 / phillipsfarmbatavia / 2 Comments

I recently ordered a new cookbook called Drink the Harvest: Making and Preserving Juices, Wines, Meads, Teas and Ciders (Nan K. Chase and DeNeice C. Guest).  In it, I found a recipe for a fermented pear cider called "Very Perry Holiday Mead."  I was super excited to try it and also glad to have another … Continue reading Perry Mead: A Yeast Experiment

Farm Kids

We enjoyed a visit today from my former coworker Allyn and her children. Little Nina is almost four and enjoyed herself tremendously last time they visited, early in the summer. She sat on the tractor, ate beet greens straight from the garden, collected eggs and even swam in the pool. Allyn said Nina had been … Continue reading Farm Kids

Caramel Pear Crumble

September 15, 2017September 11, 2017 / phillipsfarmbatavia / 1 Comment

This pear crumble recipe was inspired by the big old pear tree in our front yard, which I've been writing about all week since we picked over a hundred pounds of pears from it last weekend.  I thought a pear crumble would work well with the texture of the pears. They are firm, similar to … Continue reading Caramel Pear Crumble

Spiced Pear Butter

I love apple butter.  I mean, who doesn't right? My go-to recipe for apple butter is from one of my favorite canning cookbooks, Canning for a New Generation by Liana Krissoff.  I was excited to find that Krissoff includes a variation on her apple butter recipe for pears.  Since I have an abundance of pears from our … Continue reading Spiced Pear Butter

Juicing Pears for my Favorite Fall Cocktail

September 12, 2017September 11, 2017 / phillipsfarmbatavia / 2 Comments

Another one of my favorite uses for our pears is juicing.  It's a fairly easy way to use a lot of pears and it makes a gorgeous golden juice. First I remove the stems and any yucky spots on the pears and then cut them in half. Then they go into the juicer about 8 … Continue reading Juicing Pears for my Favorite Fall Cocktail

Pear Harvesting

September 10, 2017September 11, 2017 / phillipsfarmbatavia / Leave a comment

We have a huge old pear tree in our front yard that drops loads of pears in the fall.  My neighbor Rita and her husband Frank planted the pear tree many many years ago, just after Rita's mother passed away.  It's been producing fruit for decades now, here on this farm.  No one is quite … Continue reading Pear Harvesting
