Did you thaw the berries first? I need to make strawberry/rhubarb but both are frozen

I started some ketchup to ferment today. Excited to try it in a few days

Tried the ACV I started in Sept. Holy crap, it's strong! Started some again today. I'm not gonna let this one go for as long, see what the taste difference is

Strained the apples out of my vinegar today. Now the hard part starts, waiting a few months for it to be finished!

Ambrosia are my favorite apple to eat, by far. They taste like how an apple should taste. Sweet, crunchy, like autumn

I looked into doing this as well. A tip I read said to cut a small slit into each grape, don't cut them in half, just slit them open a little so the insides dry faster. I don't know how that method works, we ended up eating the grapes before I got a chance to try it

I planted garlic the other day, for the first time. Hope it does good! I do dried apple slices. I usually use apples from my dad's tree, Bonnie's Best they are called. Sweet and huge apples. Today, I will be dehydrating the peppers I saved off of my plants I brought inside

I need to get my garlic in. Thanks for the reminder! And good job on the sauce!

Tomorrow, I will be dehydrating the rest of my bell peppers. I brought two plants inside to overwinter and have so many peppers from them. And have a lot of jalapenos. If I froze those, think they would be ok in fresh salsa over the winter?

Nothing wrong with that

Hope it works out for you!

Sorry the pictures are wonky. I tried to get them without a glare. From my Ball canning book. 1 tbsp lemon juice for a pint, 2 tbsp for a quart

Oh, yum! Nice haul! I've grown sweets before and loved them. I just put them in a warm place for about a week then in my basement they went. But follow what @BirdsBeesTrees posted. That sounds better!

What do you do with the peach syrup?

I've had no issues with the Nesco dehydrator I bought at Walmart. It's the basic model but does come with a lot of trays(I think 5) and comes with the special liners to make fruit leather and jerky. It's the only one I have experience with

Started some apple sauce today and apple cider vinegar. I have never done the acv before, hope it works!

Yeah, freeze dryers are out of my budget

I condition them by putting them in a jar and putting a lid on. Every day for about a week I shake them up and make sure there is no condensation on the sides of the jar. If there is, they need dehydrated more. If no extra moisture, I throw a dessicant packet in there and put them on my basement...

I have left mine on. It helps to keep the shape of the tomato and has nutrients that you would lose if you peeled them. And saves time

Good job! I'm making sauce and apple cider vinegar tomorrow from apples from my parent's tree. I dehydrated tomatoes this year, they did good. I plan on adding them to chili or stews
