Canning beets
If you like having simple vegetables ready to go, Canning beets is an easy project. The beets stay tender and hold their color beautifully once they’re packed into jars.
They’re great for salads, quick sides, and adding something bright to winter meals. It’s a no-fuss way to keep beets on hand all year.
Would you eat these warm or chilled from the fridge? 😄👇

I've heard of fruit leather snacks, but not #VegetableLeather snacks!
"Vegetable leathers are made similar to fruit leathers. Common vegetable leathers are pumpkin, mixed vegetable and tomato. Purée cooked vegetables and strain. Spices can be added for flavoring.
Read about Leather Drying methods and tray preparation on Fruit Leathers and then try these recipes below.
Mixed Vegetable Leather
2 cups cored, cut-up tomatoes
1 small onion, chopped
1/4 cup chopped celery
salt to taste
Cook over low heat in a covered saucepan 15 to 20 minutes. Purée or force through a sieve or colander. Cook until thickened. Spread on a cookie sheet or tray lined with plastic wrap. Dry at 140ºF.
Pumpkin Leather
2 cups canned pumpkin or 2 cups fresh pumpkin, cooked and puréed
1/2 cup honey
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon powdered cloves
Blend ingredients well. Spread on tray or cookie sheet lined with plastic wrap. Dry at 140ºF.
Tomato Leather
Core ripe tomatoes and cut into quarters. Cook over low heat in a covered saucepan, 15 to 20 minutes. Purée or force through a sieve or colander and pour into electric fry pan or shallow pan. Add salt to taste and cook over low heat until thickened. Spread on a cookie sheet or tray lined with plastic wrap. Dry at 140ºF.

@rooftopjaxx Sounds delicious! Tagging for #SolarPunkSunday !
Our plum tree produced a massive crop this year. No possible way I'll preserve all of it, but here's yesterday and today's jam and canned fruit.

So many grapes in today's produce rescue. I have juiced a bunch. Some of the leftover pulp went into a fruit salad. Other pulp I'll use in a fruit leather experiment. Also have a couple trays in the oven in a raisin experiment. It's a chance to try some ideas from Put 'Em Up by Sherri Brooks Vinton.
I was going to use a bottle of red wine to dye eggs tomorrow, but now I'm thinking of just trying grape juice with vinegar.
This afternoon I made a couple of jars of basic brined pickles. I'll let the cucumbers soak up the brine for a few days and then test how they turned out.
I made the poor life choice of planting some seedlings in the spring and now I have more cucumbers than I know what to do with. I've been putting them in a lot of meals and giving them away but they just keep coming.
So, mom-in-law gifted us with canning supplies and a food dehydrator. Looking forward to getting back into preserving food again (we had taken a canning course a few years ago, but never bought the supplies. We mostly stick with pickled beets and sauerkraut and pickles, which can be done without the supplies, though they have to be kept in the refrigerator and don't keep as long). And, in the spirit of being neighborly, I will be offering use of the food dehydrator with my neighbors, especially the one growing edible mushrooms!

Canstravaganza! A view of part of the shelving in my garage dedicated to my canning output.
Last night I got strange spasms in my left hand that went clear up my forearm. I attribute it to an entire weekend of food prep, holding heavy pans with my left hand so I could do things with my right, general overuse. My husband had to uncurl my contracted thumb slowly and hold it out to end the worst spasms.

I'm making more #Teochew #Chinese #preserved #SaltedLimes today. We use same method as our families overseas have used, for generations. The link below is similar to what I do. We have several jars of assorted fruit based salted preserves sitting in our backyard on our natural fermentation table.
We use salted limes & salted lemons & salted plums year round, to make traditional fermented hot/cold drinks & for cooking purposes.
Make your own:

Our home came with two apple trees which have become increasingly productive over the years. Usually I just try to prevent Bertie from eating himself sick, but this year I’m trying to get some applesauce made and put up for winter.
Most of the apples have dropped off the tree and are bruised. Over the past week I’ve picked up the least damaged and stashed them in the fridge. I managed to reach a few from the trees, which I’ve reserved for eating raw.
I’ve processed just over half our windfall apples and have them in the big slow cooker. My original thought that I’ll be small-batch canning has been revised to planning to put my big canner into service. Perhaps both the small and big-batch going at once!
Our house smells amazing.

@DrTCombs @jonberger Thanks! I'll let you know how it turns out. I went looking for information on what my mom used to do with paraffin wax and found this post from a master food preserver complete with a fun participatory way to demonstrate pathogens and sugar interacting with your jam and a link to a recipe for corn cob jelly. Way to use everything! https://ucanr.edu/blogs/blogcore/postdetail.cfm?postnum=43505#:~:text=The%20traditional%20method%20of%20preserving,down%20to%20force%20a%20seal. #canning #recipes #food #PreservingFood #jam
Expert home canning folk, I want to make this recipe https://larderlove.com/cranberry-gin-jam/ to use boozy cranberries from making their cranberry gin last year for gifts. Asked about hot water canning and they said it isn't done in UK/Europe and the preserves keep without it. Your thoughts and recommendations? (And why don't they use this process? Oven canning instead?) I'm inclined to treat it like jam, process for 10 minutes. #cooking #food #recipes #canning #HomeCanning #preserves #PreservingFood
It’s time to make some sauce, y’all!

The ginger is #fermenting in the sun, after being soaked in #fermented salty mung bean juices. Sour plums are on day 3 of dehydrating in sun & coming along nicely (coarse salt & cane sugar used).

summer in Brisbane means the #basil will bolt. before that happens harvest and preserve the leaves while they are abundant. to keep them green and fresh, strip the stems off, blanch briefly in boiling water, cool in icy water, and pat dry. then pack the wilted leaves in a freezer bag without too much air. now freeze it. your (almost) fresh basil will keep for months. #preservingfood #kitchengarden
