I made more Lutenitza today

[merlin]

I took in the last of the toms and peppers this morning, and made 14 jars of Lutenitza. It's a bit nippy outside today, so I recon I can't push my luck any more in terms of the first frost.

Gosh- not bad for mid November!

Are you getting unusually warm weather too?

[Florence Fennel]

14 jars? Blimey Merlin you did that quick, I'd have been at it all day. What's the temperature there at the mo? We have bright sunshine today and I would think above 10 degrees. Really pleased because yesterday it was really damp, dark and dreary.

OK, I'll ask, what's Lutenitza?

[maytreefrannie]

Me too - what's Lutenitza?

We were at it reasonably early, I go out to open the chickens at about six'ish (I have a theory that the catching the first light keepes them in lay longer), I have had my eye on the last of the peppers and toms for a while now. They seem to just 'stay as they are' right at the end of summer until a couple of light frosts, especially the cherry toms. We have kind of slipped into doing the same bits each and getting a few jars done is easily possible in a morning (we are GMT+2). It is a kind of spead really, I love the smell of the roasting peppers! Anyway, last year we made a short film of the process, you can watch it if you follow this link, I am making a web site for little things like this, but it is not very good, i am still trying learn how to do the web site lol How to make bulgarian Lutenitza

[Bren In Pots]

I wouldn't mind making Lutenitza next year so thanks for posting your film link Merlin

[taff]

well, them there films were entertaining..watched them all except the wine growers day one. I especially liked the bad dancing and miming, and the cheesemaking and breadcheesemaking was good, may have a bash

[merlin]

Lol, well I am glad it was entertaining, my daughters think the site is quaint but totally unnavigable, so you all must be as mad as I am :-)

Watched the Luvenitsa film. I could feel the warmth of the sun and the sheer pleasure of cooking simply out of doors. Wonderful!!! Then the bad feelings came over me - jealousy - that you could have a WHEELBARROW full of peppers, tomatoes etc. Enjoy your life - it looks wonderful!
