Traditionally grown by the Calusa, Creek, and Miccosukee peoples, Seminole pumpkins remain one of the tastiest and most reliable pumpkins for Florida gardens. The Seminole people gave the name "Chassahowitza" to a region on the gulf in Southwest Florida. The name means "pumpkin hanging place." It's likely that the pumpkins they were referring to were Seminole pumpkins, or a related variety. Seminole pumpkins take the south Florida summer heat and humidity in stride and require little to no maintenance.

Mashed homegrown purple sweet potato cooked in homemade local wild hog broth and fat from a hog Keith caught, homegrown avocado, the same local wild hog’s ribs smoked by Keith on his handmade smoker on homegrown native oak wood, and homegrown green papaya slaw (dressed in homegrown raw duck egg mayo, homemade homegrown star fruit vinegar and local raw honey). The hogs Keith hunts and butchers are a delicacy to us, and considered to be “invasive”/free game here in Florida. What a treat

A goodbye to Florida’s delicate veggie season (winter) with pickled homegrown radishes and greens for the year 🥬

Recipe:
Chop and put your veggies in clean mason jars with spices of your choice.
Brine ratio: 1 1/3 mild/strong vinegar of your choice: 1/3 local raw honey (optional): 1/8 natural salt: 1 natural water (we used well water)
Boil and pour into your mason jars, place lid on tightly.
We found them to seal and last a year just fine with out the water bath canning process. Remove rings after they have cooled to prevent a false seal!
