From the garden, with the sun still on it
Nothing forgotten. Everything preserved.
When the garden peaks—
you don't let it go.
Sundried slowly in the August sun. Caught at its hottest. Two things. All of summer in two jars.
In the southernmost corner of Sicily, August arrives like a verdict.
San Marzano tomatoes vine ripened and bathe in the August Sicilian sun. Calabrian Chilis mature on the vine. And what the garden gives in those few weeks — gets kept the only way worth keeping: slowly, in olive oil, in a jar.
