#RefrigeratorPickles #QuickPickles #Recipes #FoodPreservation #Pesto #FreezingHerbs #DryingHerbs #FreezeBerries #ZucchiniBread #OvenDryTomatoes #RefrigeratorJam #FreezingCorn #HerbalVinegars

Excerpt: "Store Long-Lasting Crops

Little or no special equipment is required to put these goods away until you want them:

#Apples: Apples keep well for about 6 months at temperatures above freezing but below 45°F. If you don’t have a root cellar, a double cardboard box in a cool basement can approximate the conditions.

#Carrots: After harvesting, remove the green tops and brush off any excess dirt. Put the carrots into a cardboard box and pack dry sand around them. Store the box in a cool basement.

#Onions and #Garlic: Hang mature, dry-skin onion bulbs in a mesh bag in a cool, dry, airy location. Braided onions and garlic can also be hung.

#RootVegetables: If covered with a thick layer of mulch (hay, dried leaves, straw), carrots, garlic, horseradish, leeks, parsley, parsnips, radishes, and turnips can be left in the ground well into the winter and harvested into the spring."
