A few remaining images from last week's photo shoot for the "Canning & Preserving" book. The fig & thyme jam snuggled up in this phyllo-wrapped baked brie had everyone's mouths watering, and Jenny, the photographer's assistant, scheming of grabbing it and running off down the street, with crumbs and gooey cheese and jam smeared all over her face. 
The rhubarb on the right was from a farm in nearby Burnsville, N.C.. The stalks on the left were just-picked from Chris's yard (Chris is the Art Director at Lark books, and the owner, along with his partner Skip, of the home where the photos were taken). After misting the rhubarb, Nicole, my editor, said it was christened with "garden sweat." I choose the euphemism "morning dew" instead. Take yer pick.
Chris torched a glaze over a game hen to make it a bit more crispy. You'll find this little bird (Chris kept calling it "Max Headroom") alongside the recipe for Winter Squash Chutney in the book. 
Finally, Nicole juxtaposes the runnyness of liquid pectin versus the powder of dry. We had a blast. One more photo shoot to go on this book, then we'll take a breather before heading on to bee photos. And speaking of bees, I attended a bee club field day this weekend at the 4-H club. Photos and anecdotes forthcoming.
