Preserving the Harvest…Zucchini

June 28, 2017 By Angi Schneider 6 Comments

We are in the height of zucchini and summer squash season right now and while it is overwhelming at times, it’s also a huge blessing. My grocery budget is happy! Because we often have a problem with vine borers, I try to begin preserving zucchini and yellow squash at the beginning of the season. Anything […]

Preserving apples in a no waste kitchen – can, dehydrate, freeze, and ferment

September 13, 2016 By Angi Schneider Leave a Comment

It is almost apple season and my family is so excited. While I will buy apples out of season for eating fresh, I won’t buy them out of season for anything else. Apples make a great snack on the go or to pack in a lunch so I buy the year round. I like preserving apples […]

September 8, 2016 By Angi Schneider Leave a Comment

Wanting to preserve the harvest? Water bath canning is a great option because you don't need expensive equipment. Learn how to safely and efficiently preserve food for the winter with these tips and free download.

Water bath canning is usually the first canning someone does, and for good reason.

Preserving the Harvest…Peaches

July 14, 2016 By Angi Schneider 12 Comments

Preserving peaches is an annual event here. We preserve them by canning, freezing and dehydrating so we can have a variety throughout the year.

We got seven peaches off our peach tree this year. Oh my, they were so very good! But obviously, with only seven we just ate them and didn’t even think about preserving them. So, I did what I do every year. I purchased peaches so I could actually preserve peaches for the rest of the […]

Canning Chili con Carne {ultimate meal in a jar}

June 30, 2016 By Angi Schneider 6 Comments

Cannning meals in a jar is a great way to make sure you have meals for those super busy times. Learn how to easily make chili con carne in a jar. This is family favorite, in fact some family member pray for a few failed seals so they can eat this right away. Yep, it's that good.

I know, who can think of soups, especially heavy soups like chili in this heat? I do. In fact, every summer I spend a couple of days canning chili con carne and beef (or venison) stew for the winter.  Why? Because it helps me feed the family home cooked meals even during the busy school […]

Tips for Using a Pressure Canner

June 22, 2016 By Angi Schneider 11 Comments

We’ve been canning up a storm lately and most of has been done using a pressure canner. We ordered extra meat from our meat co-op and canned some with onions and garlic like we do venison. We also canned some chili con carne (recipe will be on the blog next week). A friend gave us […]

Tips for Preserving the Harvest

September 15, 2015 By Angi Schneider 38 Comments

Many years ago, I canned about 30 quarts of pear chutney. I had never tried pear chutney, in fact I had never even heard the word “chutney” before that day. But our pear tree was producing a bumper crop that year and I decided it would be fun to try something new. {ahem} No one liked it…not […]

Preserving the Harvest….Blueberries

July 23, 2015 By Angi Schneider 12 Comments

Want to taste summer all year? You can! Learn how to can, freeze, dehydrate and ferment blueberries to enjoy now and later.

We kicked off July 4th weekend by going blueberry picking . Yes, we have blueberry bushes but they are not producing. Last year fire ants got into the pots and destroyed the roots. We bought new plants but they are still young.  Normally, we would just go without but because of all the rain we […]

There is so much you can do with your tomato harvest. Learn how to can, freeze, dehydrate and ferment tomatoes for now and later.

Preserving tomatoes is a summer tradition in many homes. But preserving tomatoes can be more than spaghetti sauce and salsa.  There are so many ways of preserving tomatoes and really, you need to do what is best for your family. Because I’m pretty simple, I mainly can tomatoes with onions and garlic and dehydrate tomatoes […]

Preserving the Harvest….Cucumbers

June 17, 2015 By Angi Schneider 47 Comments

Canning pickles is not the only way to preserve cucumbers. You can also ferment, dehydrate and even freeze them.

It seems to be feast or famine with cucumbers at our little homestead. Some years I just cannot get them to produce at all and other years I’m wondering what in the world we’re going to do with them all. We’re in a feasting year this year. Normally that would be a good thing but […]
