Scratch English muffin. Scratch strawberry and blackberry jam including scratch made pectin from backyard apples. Scratch made elderberry mead from backyard elder plants. 6 years old
Not scratch: the peanut butter.
I’d like to thank prednisone, ibuprofen and amoxicillin and past me for making this possible. Past me for making the mead, preserves and, from a few days ago, the dough.
The very first scratch meal I made was a PB&J sandwich. I paired it with a homemade porter.


I made the English muffin from flour, yeast, salt and water. The jam was made from strawberries, home grown blackberries and pectin made from my apple trees. The mess was fermented from honey and yeast and the elder flowers from my back yard.
The only thing that left unchanged from when I acquired it was the peanut butter. The rest was stuff I grew or bought and processed into something else.
