Fall Weather.

October 3rd 2017.

Beautiful Fall Weather and Activities.

In Southern Ontario, Canada we are into Fall weather, warm days and cool nights. We even had a bit of frost on the roofs across the road from us but no ground frost.

The leaves are changing rapidly and it is so nice to see the fall colours.

Even the flowers are still blooming and the fall flowers are giving us a pretty show. Here are a few pictures from around the campground near the office where we have the trailer parked.

Along with fall flowers comes the time we start to make jams and jellies. And put things in our freezer for the winter months. I don't make as much as I used to when the kids were at home living but I still do like to make some jams and my Red Pepper Jelly. Which my friends from my Sew What group like to get around Christmas time.

Here is the recipe which I promised to share with you.

RED PEPPER JELLY.

5 Cups granulated sugar
2 Cups finely chopped sweet Red Peppers or Green Peppers. About 3 Med.
1 1/2 Cups White Sugar.
1 Bottle of Liquid Pectin (170mls) = 2 pouches.

Combine Sugar, Red Peppers and Vinegar, stir and bring to full boil. Boil over med heat for 15 mins. Skim foam. Remove from heat, blend in pectin and stir for 2 mins. Pour into sterilized
jars, I always put wax on top to seal.
Never tried but you could put in a hot pepper maybe one to give it more kick.
