Preserving Your Harvest

[tripletfeb]

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 enough big tomatoes to make salsa next week, as soon as my new turkey fryer propane regulator shows up.

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

If a small head goes into a quart jar, 4 small heads should fit in my gallon jar. Thanks!

I worked with basil this morning. I removed the leaves from three plants, threaded the big ones onto skewers and hung them to air dry.


And I made basil butter with the smaller leaves, with a few walnuts and almonds and a bit of salt. I'll be able to slice off pieces of the frozen roll as needed. A hot knife should work.

That butter looks AMAZING! What do you have those skewers stuck into. Mr tg would not approve of me punching holes in the side of my cabinets! lol

Thanks! There were 2 screw holes and a nail hole exactly where I needed them to be!

Lucky you. My first thought was "Wow, what a great idea." quickly followed by "Mr tg would kill me"... lol

Take a picture off the wall and replace it with basil wall-art.

I already have bundles of stuff tied up and hanging from various items around the house drying, jars of tinctures making, and powdered everything.

So, he wouldn't be too surprised to see that!
