Similar to my other #staycation 2018 day two post, #foodwaste can be a problem when you #growyourown food. I was so impressed with someone else’s jarred hot peppers that I thought it would be cool to grow my own even though I’m not a fan of spicy hot food. I jarred at least a dozen quarts of hot peppers in a vinegar oil mix with garlic cloves. I still had all but one or two quarts in my cupboard three years later! Though the acid content would help preserve these peppers for eternity, it seemed crazy to store food I’m never going to use, especially with the 2018 major #harvest right around the corner. So I dumped all of the jars into a large bowl and used a stick blender to make a creamy hot sauce. I strained out all of the skin, stems, and seeds. Using recycled glass condiment jars, there are now three bottles of hot sauce for my family to use (they put that “stuff” on everything), and there are several more pints that I put through the water canner to preserve for future use. Some mistakes can be fixed 😊. #hotsauce #lessonlearned #growwithit #foodpreservation #nofoodwaste #hotpeppers #becreative #recycle
Yesterday was day two of #staycation 2018. Since it rained most of the day, it was a great time to clean up and clean out. I’ll be the first to admit that it’s easy to make mistakes with food preservation when you have an ample supply of #homegrown food. Last year, I accidentally confused a pickled beet recipe with a beet pickle recipe. According to the Ball preservation guide, they are very different! On top of that, I thought it would be cool to spiral the beets with the intent of using these fermented beauties on salads. They were terrible! The spirals got mushy. The flavors were so intense that, even after rinsing, they were still too strong for anyone’s palate. So I dumped all of the jars into a strainer and rinsed thoroughly. I added two jars of canned homegrown potatoes (to make room for this year’s harvest) and two quarts of #homemade chicken broth to a pot. Using a stick blender and medium heat, in less than five minutes, I had a creamy three-ingredient soup that was amazing! #nofoodwaste #kitchenorganization #useyourimagination #becreative #simplify #soup #beets #potatoes #makeyourown #growyourown #growyourownfood
