Preserving the Harvest…..Herbs

June 11, 2015 By Angi Schneider 9 Comments

Preserving herbs is easy and way cheaper than buying herbs and spices already preserved. Herbs can be preserved by drying or freezing them, putting them in salt and making extracts.

One of our goals this year was to add more herbs to our garden for both culinary and medicinal uses. Many times those uses overlap. The thing with herbs is that they do not grow year round outside (even in zone 9) and they are not always ready at the same time complimentary vegetables are […]

Fermented cabbage, beet and carrots (rainbow sauerkraut recipe)

March 26, 2015 By Angi Schneider 10 Comments

I love playing around with different ferments. My family thinks it’s weird but that’s okay. I have a slaw recipe that I learned from a friend from Kenya and I wondered what it would taste like as lacto-fermented sauerkraut. It’s tastes great. My family isn’t big slaw or sauerkraut. When I make this slaw I […]

February 11, 2015 By Angi Schneider 33 Comments

Skip the vinegar and pickle peppers the old fashioned way by fermenting them. Fermented peppers give you all the storage benefits of pickled peppers without the vinegar taste. Make fermented jalapenos or fermented sweet banana peppers, the recipe and process is the same.

Fermented peppers easy to make and are fantastic for someone just beginning the fermenting journey. Sauerkraut. Isn’t that where everyone begins with fermented vegetables? I think it must be as there are many, many sauerkraut articles all over the place I think one of the reasons sauerkraut is such a great place to begin is […]

Canning Tomatoes in the No-Waste Kitchen

August 25, 2014 By Angi Schneider 21 Comments

Preserving tomatoes is like preserving summer! Learn how to get the most out of your tomato harvest by using up every bit of the tomato, including the extra juice and peels.

My absolute favorite thing to grow is tomatoes. I love that there are literally thousands of varieties to try. I love the flavor of homegrown tomatoes – store bought tomatoes just cannot compare. I even love the smell of tomato plants – which don’t really smell very good, but I love them anyway. So, for canning […]

Canning Black Bean and Corn Salsa Recipe – The Safe Way

July 28, 2014 By Angi Schneider 69 Comments

My family loves salsa; we eat it on everything from eggs to tacos. My boys can polish off a quart of salsa and a couple of bags of tortilla chips in no time flat. Sometimes I like to serve a salsa that has a little extra nutrition, you know, to counter the bags of tortilla […]

Canning Corn with the raw pack or hot pack method

July 15, 2014 By Angi Schneider 42 Comments

I love keeping home canned corn on hand. Although canning corn takes a little bit longer than canning other vegetables, it's totally worth it. There's nothing like the flavor of locally grown sweet corn during summer, and when you can your own corn you can enjoy that bit of summer all year long.

Making and Freezing Pesto Sauce in Canning Jars

July 2, 2014 By Angi Schneider 26 Comments

Making and freezing basil pesto right in the jar allows me to easily preserve basil all summer long. There are no safe canning methods for pesto so freezing pesto is the way to go.

Every spring one of the first herb seeds I sow are basil seeds. I liberally scatter them in several places in the garden. I do this for one reason…pesto! We love pesto so very much and I refuse to pay $5 for 6 oz of basil pesto. So each summer you’ll find me making and […]

Home canned beef stew is a wonderful way to prepare for emergencies - big or small. Your family is sure to love this recipe for canning beef stew in a pressure canner.

Every summer I find myself spending a few days making canned beef stew, I make other canned soups and stews also but canned beef stew is our favorite. Even though it’s hot, I like canning beef stew during the summer because I can use the produce right out of our garden. My beef stew “recipe” […]
