What does your 2010 Store Cupboard look like now we are in the hungry gap?
I have run out of all the following.............
 
BNS
Parsnips
Leeks
Swedes
Toms
Peppers
Chillis
Peas (didn't have much of these top start with)
Broad beans.
Sweetcorn.
Raspberry's
Rhubarb (but the 2011 crop is on-line)

I still have a sack of Wilja Spuds (what a great spud Wiljas are)
1 Garlic Bulb
3 lonely Onions (These will be in a Chilli tomorrow night)
1 Jar each of Raspberry Jam and Tomato Chutney

[JaK]

i only have two jars of green tomato chutney left from last years efforts 

[Lardman]

I have a small bag of broad beans in the freezer - although Im not sure what year they're from  and 1 takeaway tub of tomato sauce made from small cherry toms which Im saving to do something special with.

Its been a very long and very hungry gap here.

[fatcat1955]

I have about 1 weeks supply of runners and french beans.

[Nige2Plots]

In the freezers, we have left Carrots, Sweetcorn, Cauliflower and Runner Beans albeit only enough for a few more meals!

[mumofstig]

funnily enough I just did a new list of the freezer contents and there's not much left at all  
I used the last sweetcorn and squash to make a chowder this evening!

6 x 400g bags of frozen toms, 2 portions french beans, 4 portions snap peas, 3 x 500g bags blackberries.
In the cupboard 2 unopened chutney, 2 jars passata and 3 jars of crabapple and chilli jelly

[peapod]

lots of parsnips, swede, runner and french beans and pickled beetroot

Oh, yes garlic too 

[suziet88]

Oooh - not much in the freezer - few broad beans, some prepared potatoes ready for roasting and some spicy kale.  Got quite a lot of jars though - some tomato chutney, beetroot, 'marmalade' (which is grated carrots and lemon juice), courgette chutney, and Alys Fowler's 'Dily's green beans'.    Quite a few garlic bulbs and some chillis.  So it's a weird combination of food for tea!

[JamPan]

I have 2 corn cobs and some french beans left.  Also a few jars of chilli jam and green tomato chutney.  I ran out of pickled beetroot ages ago... definitely growing larger quantities this year!  There's bound to be some courgettes lurking at the bottom of the chest freezer, though all the courgette-based soups were finished ages ago.  I might have a few weeks without potatoes before the new crops.

@mum... tell me about frozen tomatoes, please.  What variety, how do you freeze and what do you use them for?

[compostqueen]

I still have loads of dried chillies, half a jar of each of cannellini and borlotti, oh and some red kidney beans.  I used the last of the pumpkin the other day for a curry.  Oh I forgot I still have some onions left in the shed    About half a dozen small ones

I could kick myself for not having any garlic left and I had to buy a bulb at the weekend

@mum... tell me about frozen tomatoes, please.  What variety, how do you freeze and what do you use them for?

I grow plum tomatoes just for making pasta sauces. Last year I grew Incas this year it's Rio Grande outside and San Marzano in the greenhouse.
Some I freeze and some I make into jars of passata. For freezing I put them into water and bring to boil, as the skins split I take them out with a straining spoon and place on a big dish to cool abit. As soon as they are cool enough to handle I remove the skins and halve if big. When completely cold I portion them up with some of the juice...400g is about a normal can size, and freeze in small zip lock bags.
Just take them out of bag and heat through in the microwave (or leave to defrost but I never remember to take them out in advance) and use to make a sauce just as you would use a tin of toms

[JamPan]

Excellent stuff, ta @mum.  I've Evernoted that for the appropriate time.

[solway cropper]

I have chard and lettuce left from a late summer sowing but that's it for fresh stuff. In the freezer there's still plenty of beans, leeks, celery, stewed apple and tomato pulp. The preserve cupboard has enough jam, pickles and chutney to last a couple of years.

[SkipRat]

Still got in the freezer 15 cobs, 5 large heads of calabrese, 3 bags of cauli, 2lb broad beans 25 garlic cloves, quite a few bags of runner beans, borlotti beans (dried),cabbage, frozen tomatoes, on the plot I have spring cabbage, a few savoys. so were not going to starve for at least a few more weeks 

[rhysdad]

Some courgette chutney, loads of frozen cayenne peppers, 25lb frozen damsons (Wife STILL giving me evil looks about them)  Spiced apple chutney and some homemade passata. I'm going to make more use this year of the apples i get from my employer's orchard. He has about 2 acres of Organic Cox, Spartan and Bramleys and last year i had so many they rotted away. I'm definitely going to try Delia's 'caramelised apple tart' and freeze them for winter treats!!
