The Post and Rail is a Cooking, Gardening and Art School in Compton, South Australia. Near Mount Gambier in the gorgeous Limestone Coast. These videos are a flow on from the wonderful lifestyle of having my hands on some of the best produce, from a large orchard and vegetable garden, working and running a farm shop, nursery and cafe (in the past) and just wanting to share some of my experience as I believe my recipes, tips and hints are all about one less dish, one less step and still getting a brilliant result. Thanks for watching.

You have the best recipe!!! specialty the part that you tipped the jars over worked perfect all of them popped
Good tip thanks you. Use caution....your saw sees no difference between the stems and your hand!
Why would you grow lavender just to chop it down and not use it. What a waste
Awesomeness! Thank you. Love your measurement bloody hot! Can we use the whey for something?
Cindy you are such a dagg lol ! Looks so good 😊
Yummy , thanks Cindy
Nice .. thank you..
I need a recipe for apricot jam that’s easy
Beautiful! 🥰
Thanks Cindy. I've been searching for recipes but should have known that you would have the answer. I don't have a fancy pressure cooker like yours, but I'll try it in the old-fashioned PC - hopefully tomorrow. 😃
thanks just started a jam business got 5 kg apricots coming so will try this do you turn jars upside down every time you make jam? and lids on streight away
Hi Jason, yes upside down straight away and lids on straight away. This is how the lid and jar get sterilized, by the heat of the jam. I haven't cracked a jar yet by putting in the hot jam. Many blessings for your new business. :)
hi thanks just done blackberry seedless jam so have done what you advised had good set on the plate first was perfect!
@@jasonclarke6983 That's great news. Mmmm, blackberry jam. (insert drool emoji!) :)
Have just seen your video, thank you so much for sharing! May I ask please what you use the quince paste for? I have not grown up with it, nor with relishes, or chutneys, so I feel a bit lost with these things. Also, is it easy to get them out of the jars when they are really thick ?
Hi Juanita, This quince paste works perfectly on a cheeseboard. Pair it with a creamy brie or if you like blue cheese, these two work perfectly together. It's a great question! Because Quinces are so tart, when you cook it with the sugar and make quince paste it's the perfect combination of sweet and sour, so with something salty is the perfect trinity for our taste buds. Well that's how I look at it anyway. Also great to liven a slow cooked lamb tagine type dish or to glaze pork chops at the end of grilling. It sets so thick that it mostly comes out in one or two attempts. :)
Great advice on the self sterilising of the jars and lids ..thanks for your time
not sure what to do, mine has not set in the fridge 😢
This hasn't happened to me in this dish, but I am always discovering "happy accidents" in the kitchen. Perhaps you've just invented Quince Jam or a wonderful new way to enjoy it. I don't know what variety of quince you used, but I did hear a long time ago, that some Quince varieties set better than others. I've only ever had my hands on Smyrna and Champion varieties but perhaps if yours was a different one, it might have behaved differently. xx Cindy
Hi from New Zealand! I got given a box of quince and found your video. My daughters and I had a giggle as we realised we have the same pressure cooker, coffee machine, kitchen aid, microwave and Kmart tea towels as you do 🤣. Very excited to try your recipe!! Thank you!
That is so cool. We obviously all have fantastic taste! bahahaha!
Thank you
😲 Hysterical! 😂❤ Located in Horticultural class: Tender, Gorgeous Perrennials: Wack Job 101 😜🤣💝
I'm glad you find it funny too! It's also very, very enjoyable.
I'm really enjoying your videos. wonderful recipes!
Thank you, that's very encouraging. xx
thanks so much for sharing this! I really love your method. I dont have a pressure cooker but I found the slow cooker on highest setting does a good job and best thing is it doesnt splash! I dont know what varity my quince tree is.
Thank you. Slow cookers are great!
Love your work! I felt like I was in the kitchen either you. What fun.
Thank you. xx That's so encouraging.
But you did twist it. I saw you! Haha! I am going to try this recipe! Thanks!
You're right! bahahaha.
That looks really yummy Cindy. Thankyou so much..😊
Thanks Janet. xx
I made the Muesli and it’s delicious! I also make my own almond milk ‘ so the left over almond pulp I dried in my dehydrator and put that also in the muesli instead of using almond flour . Mark said it’s a 10 out of 10 . Thankyou so much for the wonderful way you teach 🤗
That's such a great idea. And a good use for the almond flour. xx
Thanks Cindy great as usual 🤗
Thank you. xx
Love it! Thanks for sharing 👍
thanks for the beautiful plates and cups. They are made to be photographed. xx
Love your enthusiasm and love your tips! These looked yummy!
Yummy
You are so informative
And what could I do in the future about the bugs
Hi Polly, those bugs are the larvae of the cabbage white butterfly, the grubs eat and love all brassicas like cabbage, cauliflower and broccoli and because we live in canola country (a brassica) there are always heaps of them around. They are around the least over winter which is why we plant in autumn and harvest everything by early to mid spring, but to completely avoid getting the butterflies landing on the leaves and laying eggs that turn into the larvae, the best way is to cover with an insect cloth, like a fly screen as soon as you plant them. People are having loads of success with this, some making a makeshift cage with bambo stakes, others are selling the complete screen online. (but I don't know where.) xx C
@@cindycross4482 thanks Cindy appreciate that ,have a blessed day .ps I love watching your Vlogs .
Hi Cindy it’s Polly ,I had a beautiful crop in winter so pretty,but just before harvesting some bugs ate it all . I pulled out the plants 🌱 are you saying I could of left it and it would have come back
Cindy can I use garlic from the supermarket?
Yes you can. The bigger the bulb the better. I even tried an imported bulb of garlic, broken up into cloves to plant. Probably 15 years ago before Australian Garlic was easy to get. All the cloves grew really well.
@@cindycross4482 fantastic I will try ,thankyou Cindy
So good Cindy ❤
The second one you cut looks like a pimply squash.
Brilliant!
I've never seen such large quince 1. I was cooking with the seeds and skins in there and I kind of felt guilty cuz nobody else was but I found you thank
Thank you. xx
The first one is called Galeux d'Eysin, a french variety.
thank you for that. xx
Hi Cindy - I just found your channel and you’re wonderful! Please forgive my stupid question but do you peal the apricots?
Definitely no need to waste your time peeling Apricots. The skin goes soft when you cook it. Thanks for asking the question though. xx
@@cindycross4482 Thanks for your very quick reply and for not laughing at the way I spelled peal 😂😂😂
What size is the scoop
Thanks Cindy. Very informative. I think I'm going to make some!😊
Thanks for this Mrs god luv ya
Thanks for vedio😍
What do they taste like?
They taste sweet and sour and intensely floral, all at once. They're very very sour and that's why this works, because it can handle the sugar amount and it balances it well.
Delicious... I have a slimline oven in my small flat... The oven is 54cm..... Everything burns on the bottom no matter where i set the racks 😢
That makes it hard for you. My oven is only a 60cm one. But in the past I used to have an oven that did that and the one thing I did that helped me was to put a sacrificial tray in the very bottom of the oven and whenever I bake, I used to put a cup of water in the tray. The steam from this helps circulate the heat around the oven and this reduced the burning on the bottom for me. I hope this helps you. xx
She's cute💕
Lol she’s a funny mom happy mothers day
Well I’m a bit hard of hearing and I can hear her just fine. Turn up the sound ladies!
I can't hear a word she says.
Do you have measurements for the ingredients, please?
