Food Preserving

 

Every year I garden and go to the Farmer’s Market looking for yummy things to dry, can and freeze for my family.  I am a bit of a squirel putting things away for the winter.  My goal every year is to can more than the year before and see how long we can go before I need to buy at the store each winter.  It’s a little game I like to play in my squirrly geekness.  I have such strong squirrel tendencies that I even went through the process to become certified as a Master Food Preserver.  Yeah, I have a deep love for my canners, baby!

I also love that some of my friends (you know who you are!) who have teased me about my canning obsesion in the past, are now calling to learn how it’s done.  Well, they may still be teasing, but now they can help chop too!  Having canning friends makes it so much more fun!  It’s interesting that the weird little hobby I have has now become a cool thing to do.  Yeah, I’m a total trend setter!  Heh-

As I go along with this food preserving series, I’ll be posting on the whole process of processing- the ins and outs of ‘putting up’.  I’ll post links to each  veggie, fruit or what have you as I go along.

In the meantime, you’ll want to read up on the different food preserving processes I use:  freezing, drying, fermenting, water bath canner, and pressure canner.  You want to become familar with the techniques and lingo so you are ready to go when your food is.  And, yes, we will talk about the dreaded B word (botulism) and acid levels, so we are on the same page and all canning safely.  Now, let’s have some fun!

 

The National Center for Food Preservation has a free, self-paced, online course for those wanting to learn more about home canning and preservation.

I am so happy when someone tries one of my recipes. I do ask, though, that you link back to the recipe instead of posting it on your site unless you have made major changes. I have big plans for some of my recipes. Please remember, recipes are for personal use only. I do NOT give permission for any recipe, article, photo, etc. partially or in whole from angelaskitchen.com to be used for profit on another site, in published medium of any kind, or to be copied in part or whole. You MUST contact me for permission if you would like to use a recipe on a paid/membership website, in a restaurant, store, bakery, etc. for profit even with your adaption (this includes any “clubs”, membership sites, etc. that repackage other bloggers work for a fee, even if the original had been adapted or put into another form). THANK YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING. 🙂
