Food in Jars

                                                           What to DO with All this Food?



I'd say the chicken compost worked wonders!



        preservation -   putting food by -  canning  -  drying  - fermenting - salting - pickling - freezing
                            - confit  -


These terms mean the same thing:  saving food you don't use now, to be enjoyed later, especially
the enjoyment found in fermenting grapes into wine.

Gardeners preserve their own food, so as not to waste it.
Other reasons to put food by are: the taste of home-produced food, control over the ingredients, no additives, personal satisfaction, economy, gift giving, tradition or a special variety not found in stores.

My list includes: bread and butter pickles, dill pickles, hot peppers, green beans, sauerkraut, spaghetti sauce, tomato sauce, tomato juice, squash pickles, cornichons, stuffed and frozen cabbage rolls and green peppers, frozen veggies, apples for pie, frozen fruit, applesauce, jams and last but certainly not least is the wine from grapes.
