I looked into doing that instead of dehydrating but I would be the only one to eat them. Dehydrating makes more sense for me. Maybe next year I'll try to ferment them
Picked my garlic scapes today and put them in the dehydrator. They will probably take longer than the 6-8 hours they are supposed to take, it's so humid here and currently raining
Yes. But I did it right before bed so the worst of the smell is gone by this morning. And I actually don't mind the smell. But man, did they make me tear up when I was cutting them! I had a beeswax candle burning and my sunglasses on
What's so great about this is you can add any veggies you want. I also add browned stew meat so it's an all in one meal. With the meat added, it gets pressure canned for 90 mins(quart jars) at ten pounds pressure for low elevations
Made and canned 8 quarts of beef veggie soup, have two different kinds of peppers in the dehydrator, cleaned one of my bathrooms, and did some laundry. I'm beat
I have sauerkraut already fermenting on my counter. It's only in a quart size jar so it's just one small head of cabbage. I don't know how much would fit in those jars
You should make and can veggie soup with all those veggies. It uses up a lot of tomatoes because they are the base instead of broth. And just wash, core(if needed) and chop. That's what I'll be doing today but I'm adding beef stew meat. And beans and carrots from the garden
