Cut cabbage in one inch bands Separate leaves Place in large bowl Sprinkle with 2 T of salt save 1/2 T for final mix and mix salt in well making sure every leaf gets some Cover and let sit for 6 hours or so until cabbage is wilted Rinse well
After wilting I like to sift through and break in half vertically some of the larger thicker pieces of cabbage from closer to the base of the leaves Not required but I think it makes for a better balanced final product
Cut Daikon into matchstick pieces 1 to 2 inches long Chop green onions across in bands or lengthwise in strips as preferred Mince garlic and ginger I usually do this preparation while the cabbage is wilting
Mix everything in bowl then pack semi-tight in jars and put on lids

Yum
Grease a 6 cup capacity ovenproof dish generously with the butter or margarine then smear the garlic around the bottom and sides of the dish
I use a round glass pyrex dish Peel potatoes and slice thinly into rounds
I use the slicing blade of my food processor
Line the bottom of the dish with a single layer of overlapping potato slices
Sprinkle generously with salt pepper and nutmeg
Repeat this layering and sprinkling process until you have used all of the potato slices
In a large jug combine cream and milk and stir well
Pour this mixture over the potato slices gently easing the potato away from the sides of the dish to allow the liquid to penetrate evenly
Place the dish onto a microwave safe plate and cook uncovered in a microwave on MEDIUM HIGH for 15- 20 minutes
Check occasionally
If the liquid in the potatoes boils over simply pour it from the plate back into the dish and continue cooking
Microwave just until you can push the blade of a sharp knife through the potato layers without feeling any crunchy resistance
Having reached this stage you can go on to cook the dish in the oven or cover with plastic wrap and keep in the refrigerator for several hours or more before cooking
Pre-set your oven to 180C 350F
Sprinkle the top of the potatoes with the grated cheese and place the dish on an upper shelf in the oven for 20 minutes or until the top turns golden brown
This may take slightly longer if taking the dish straight from the refrigerator To serve cut into wedges and remove each wedge carefully with a spatula

5 -5 1/2 lbs pumpkin preferably a cheese or pie pumpkin
5 cups sugar
2 large lemons juice and zest of minced
1 large lemon sliced thin
Steps:
DAY BEFORE CANNING Cut the pumpkin into large chunks
discarding the stems
seeds
and stringy innards attached to them Pare the skin from the chunks Slice each chunk into pieces 1/2 to 3/4 square
as evenly as you can Stir to combine the pumpkin pieces in a large glass or ceramic bowl with the sugar
lemon juice and zest
and 1/2 cup water Cover and let the mixture sit overnight
or a few hours longer
at room temperature It will give off a good bit of liquid
DAY OF CANNING Prepare 5 or 6 half-pint canning jars by washing thoroughly Place the jars on a rack in a boiling water canner
but DO NOT add water yet
Spoon the pumpkin mixture into a large heavy saucepan and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat Reduce the heat to a bare simmer and cook
covered
until the pumpkin pieces are quite tender
but still hold their shape and have become somewhat translucent in a glaze of thick syrup
about 30 minutes
As soon as you have reduced the heat for the pumpkin mixture
fill the canner with water; water should be at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars You may need to add 1 cup of white vinegar if you have hard water in your area Boil the jars for 10 minutes to sterilize It will take about 20--30 minutes for the water to come to a boil Start timing from the time it reaches a good steady boil
While pumpkin is cooking
blanch the lemon slices in a small saucepan of boiling water
just enough to soften them
and drain Stir the lemon slices into the chips just before removing the preserves from the heat
Once the jars have sterilized and the pumpkin is ready
remove jars from canner to a surface covered in heavy towels or layers of newspaper NEVER place hot jars on a bare countertop
as the difference in temperature could cause jars to shatter Spoon the chips into the hot jars
leaving at least 1/4-inch head space
Process the jars in a boiling water canner for 10 minutes Refrigerate jars after opening

1 1/2 lbs wild mushrooms cleaned and finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh thyme chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt more to taste
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper more to taste
6 cups vegetable stock

Add shallot
cook until beginning to caramelize
stirring infrequently
Add mushrooms
thyme
salt
and pepper; cook

until mushrooms have released their liquid and liquid has mostly evaporated
Add broth and any soaking liquid
scraping up browned bits Bring to a boil
reduce to simmer
and cook until mushrooms are tender Adjust seasoning
Remove from heat
cool slightly Puree soup with stand blender in batches or immersion blender until smooth Add more liquid if you want it thinner broth or water would do
Serve
NOTES I used a combination of fresh mushrooms including cremini
chanterelle
hen of the woods maitake
and beech bunashimeji For depth of flavor
I added some some dried shiitake mushrooms Soak dried mushrooms in 1-2 cups hot water for 30-60 minutes before use; add the liquid with the broth discard sediment; if using shiitakes
discard stems too
they are tough Instead of separating the thyme leaves
you can just tie a bunch of sprigs together and fish the bundle out before pureeing The original recipes suggested leaving it half-pureed and rustic but I found it grainy so I pureed it completely This soup can be made ahead Reserve 1-2 cups broth and add it while reheating on medium-low This is what I did for garnish per serving When the butter and olive oil were hot
I cooked some pretty slices of cremini and reserved them On each serving I drizzled about 1 tsp cream
eyedroppered very few drops of truffle oil
sprinkled a couple of thyme leaves
and floated a reserved mushroom slice
