magicheide I am using the last of my supply of fermented flavored vinegar (made from peary) for sweet pickle peaches. The vinegar was in the A&S pentathalon in Caid five years ago along with Rose vinegar, and a cooking entry using vinegar & herbs with baked fresh bread. -Astrid My sweet pickle peaches recipe is: Clean and sterilize six 8 oz jars then add to each: 3 whold cardamon pods 5 black peppercorns(whole) 3 whole cloves One strip bark of cinnomon (not a whole stick but a good size peice) One star anise a thin slice of a halved nutmeg pod taken from center One whole large truly *ripe* peach, peeled and pitted, cut in 6-8 slices In a small saucepan heat 2 cups sugar, 1 cup water and 1/4 cup flavored fruit vinegar to rolling boil. Pour just enough into each jar to come to 1/2 inch from top. Increase liquid if needed, but usually if peaches are big and stuffed in with spices, each jar will not take much liquid. Add sterilized lids and rings and can as usual. Leave 1 month to three months before serving for the spices to permeate and pickle the peaches. Great served warm over ice cream, eaten alone, or as a treat over cereal. Makes great Yule and Twelfth Night presents! -Heide
Oooh. That sounds GOOD.

Imzy Woo! go Arithrel, you can dooooo it! wink Seriously, if I can do Italian Ren, anyone can. smile I, for my part, am working on making a new shirt for my lord, from a McCalls pattern a friend lent me. This should prove to be interesting since I've never worked wholly from a pattern before, and never on my own. eek And this pattern has a LOT of gathering around the sleeves and cuffs, and I'm not quite sure how to go about doing that. More than likely I'll be calling up the friend who lent me the pattern and begging her for help.
hey, asking for help isn't as bad as it seems... you get to do it correctly, and learn how to do it correctly all at the same time. it's all good!

*grins* yeah, that's how I learned how to do the italian ren style dresses I've made. I had a pattern that was sorta like the dress I had pictured in my head, except there were a few changes I wanted to make.
For instance, there was no way in hell I was putting a ZIPPER in the back of my medieval gown. But I didn't want it to be a back-lace dress because I wanted to be able to, y'know, dress MYSELF. and I didn't have the faintest clue even how to begin, I was terrified I was going to ruin everything, and I only had so much fabric (I was making the dress out of a twin size bedspread).
So one of our local members came over to my house and basically held my hand, showed me how I could easily modify the front/back pieces, and then showed me how to make the skirt really simply by just taking a big rectangle of fabric and cartridge-pleating it onto a band, and then sewing that to the bodice we made from the pattern.
It turned out really, really well, and after that I was confident enough to make the sleeves from the pattern all by myself. smile And later, I even made a whole new gown based off the same pattern, all by myself. smile
