Labor Day is the unofficial end of summer, so why not bid the season farewell with an outdoor celebration. This menu includes delicious foods that are perfect for outdoor entertaining, but can be prepared inside if the weather does not cooperate. For the main dish, I chose roasted or grilled pulled pork butt roast, served as is or in sandwiches. The meat is bathed in a vinegar-based barbecue sauce, a popular Eastern North Carolina staple. The simple sides include my favorite potato salad, bean salad, coleslaw, a must with pulled pork, and deviled eggs. Dessert is peach crisp, a delicious way to use local peaches, served with homemade or store-bought butter pecan ice cream. All of the recipes, any of which can be prepared at least one day in advance, provide links to alternate choices. Preparation notes are included to help you plan for the event. Enjoy and have a great Labor Day!
Anyone who maintains a garden knows that, in a successful growing season, there are certain vegetables that produce larger yields than a single household can possibly consume. Many of us look forward to the surplus so that we can preserve it to enjoy throughout the year. Posted on my site are some of my favorite recipes for preserving, as well as those using preserved foods, such as canned, frozen or dehydrated vegetables, herbs, pickles and condiments. In addition, I share tips from my own experiences, as well as suggestions for additional sources that provide extensive information on safety procedures.
