I've been amazed that I have been able to convince Little Critic that stewed rhubarb is a breakfast food. I just heat some up in a pan with a little water and maple syrup and she eats it with a spoon. I was shocked when she requested more "soup rhubarb," so this will definitely make the list of things that gets preserved for the winter. There are lots of things on Big Critic's list that Little Critic likes but the additional things on her list are apricots, cherries, gooseberries, peaches, plums, raspberries and cherry tomatoes; notice a fruit theme? I am also adding fiddleheads, cauliflower, kale, zucchini and eggplant to the list. I know my two Critics won't eat them straight out, but I am creative enough to puree it and hide it in soups.
So, there we have it. Step #1 complete. This is the rough list of things that I know our family loves to eat and things I need to find a way to preserve. Next up on the list is to look into the nutritional aspect of seasonal Ontario eating. I've got to get moving on this as rhubarb, asparagus and fiddleheads are at the peak of their season now.
