Homemade Raspberry Jello Recipe {From Scratch with Real, Healthy Ingredients}

February 9, 2019 by crystal@wholefedhomestead 2 Comments

I’m not starting tomato seeds anytime too soon, I’m not starting tomato seeds anytime too soon, but I am thinking about it! Here are some varieties that are on my definitely-will-grow list for this coming season! These are standard must-grows for me, with the exception of the two new varieties I mention. I’ve been honing this list for many many years!
.
🍅Juliet (mini-Roma, excels at everything)
🍅Chocolate Cherry (deep flavor, stunning color)
🍅Valentine (dark, meaty, rich for a cherry)
🍅Sunrise Bumblebee (she’s a looker)
🍅Russian Rose (gorgeous rosy red, delicious)
🍅Big Rainbow (multi-colored, good acidity)
🍅San Marzano (classic paste variety)
🍅Super Sauce (gigantic meaty paste)
🍅Pomodoro Squisito (new, elongated paste)
🍅Tegucigalpa (new, rare, tapered paste)
.
There’s one more variety I’m excited about, it’s a chance seedling that popped up in our garden last year. We have a lot of rotten tomatoes on the ground every Fall, which means we have a lot of volunteer tomato plants every Summer. Most are tilled under, but this one survived hiding amongst the potatoes. It produced really cool tomatoes like I’ve never seen before!! I saved the seed and will plant them and see what we get!
.
We’re fortunate to have some amazing greenhouses in the area, so I always pick up a handful of unique tomato plants-whatever catches my eye- from them every year too.
.
We plant close to 30 tomato plants every year- they’re one of my very favorite things to grow! (Can you tell?!) 😜

Feels like sunshine getting this gorgeous glowing Feels like sunshine getting this gorgeous glowing citrus delivered every month! What an amazing way to brighten the dull winter here!
.
In partnership with @uscitrus, who ships the most delicious, juiciest, fresh citrus! That gorgeous smoky pink-orange one is a “Super Red” Grapefruit. It was spectacular- check out my stories today to see the inside, plus see the other citrus that came in my box this month!
.
This citrus is grown on small farms in Texas, picked when it’s perfectly ripe, and shipped directly to you for a very reasonable price.
.
I’m eating a grapefruit, orange, or tangerine nearly every day, and I’m making copious amounts of sparkling water with lemon and lime juice... what a wonderful way to get my daily vitamin C. I LOVE IT!

Finished shelling the last of the “Cascade Ruby Finished shelling the last of the “Cascade Ruby Gold” flour corn today! I really enjoyed growing this one— it was a fast finisher, which I appreciate for our short growing season.
.
The colors are wildly stunning! Each ear was one of four colors: yellow, light red, dark red, or orange. I’m not sure if planting a yellow seed kernel made a stalk with yellow ears, or if the genetics are such that it’s totally random and a yellow seed kernel can produce red or orange ears... but I’d love to know! Perhaps an experiment for next year if I grow it again.
.
Now we just have to grind it and then it can be used as cornmeal for cooking and baking with. It’s supposed to have amazing flavor, so I’m looking forward to giving it a try!
