Holiday Preparations

 We are down to the line with Xmas preparations.  My daughter sent me this pic of her tree last night.  Good job daughter!

 I am having an open house on New Year's Day so I've started making condiments for my charcuterie platter.  I made some pineapple and mango chutney.

 Winnie's favorite place to nap.

 I made pickled grapes too.  I've made pickled green beans, pickled red onions, truffle mustard and compound butter. Slowly it is coming together.

 Julie Chow is my constant companion.

 She watches every move.

 I gave her a green bean to chew on!

I must admit that I've never even heard about pickled grapes! It sort of sounds both delicious and gross at the same time :-) :-) :-)

I'm almost finished with the ham, all I need to do now is to grill it with the mustard, egg and breadcrumb mix and I'll do that tomorrow morning.

Have a great day!

Christer.

Even though I cannot eat pickled grapes, I do make things for others. Do you have a recipe for this? Julie?
