Yellow Pear Tomato

img_1392-001

My bountiful harvest this year includes the yellow pear tomato which was cultivated in Europe in the early 17th century.  It spread to North America and by 1847 was one of three tomato varieties documented grown in the United States.  The one to two inch pear shaped, lemon to golden yellow tomato grows in clusters and is delicious.

Knäckebröd

img_1468-001

I baked more knäckebröd at the 2016 ScanFest than I have at any other demonstration.  The holes would be used to hang the bread for complete drying on a pole.  I have five on my knäckebröd stand and two just completed that I let harden on a drying rack.

After the knäckebröd has been rolled with the knobby roller, the holes are made with the round wood tool in the foreground of the picture.  The holes seem decorative but are functional to facilitate  the quick drying of the bread.

After the mixture of rye flour, water and starter has been rolled thin, cut in a large circle with a hole, a knobby roller is used to make the characteristic design for knäckebröd.   This design aids with the quick drying process after the bread has been cooked.
