Not sure if better to removed the string holder and rub mix in or to just rub over the strings...?

Baked in marie bain for 1hour - till still juicy

Recipe states 1.5 hour at 150 °C
My oven clock stopped working so will try again with regular wall clock.

Kiddo sandwich with bacon, nothing to do with the the pastrama in the fridge and not used here.

Btw, the pastrama is best sliced thinly and this is easiest done when cold after refrigeration.

Best dates, Medjool (1 Kg)  just 30 nis a box

Taste of Summer!

Picked cucumbers

4 trays 20 nis (5 nis per box)

Super small and cute
End of the day Friday - shuk Ha carmel

When all dissolved, add cold water.
Wait to completely cool.
Pour in jars.
Seal.

Optional:  add garlic, dill, chili, black pepper...sky's the limit :)

Ready in a few days.

I have long since stopped buying preserving jars, all these are jars whose contents were fully savoured, beautiful glass jars spared from the bin.  Re-cycled to a new and  useful life for family and friends to enjoy. :)
