A WEEK OF PRESERVING THE HARVEST! (with recipes): CANNING, PICKLING, FERMENTING, and DEHYDRATING

#everybitcountschallenge, #preservingtheharvest, #canning, #fermenting
3 River’s Homestead hosts the #EVERYBIT COUNTS CHALLENGE every August, where you are challenged to preserve something every day in the month of August, no matter how small it maybe. The idea is a lot of little projects will end up amounting to a lot of food on the pantry shelf come winter. In today’s video I am sharing us doing a week's worth of preservation projects. Join us as we make pickled green beans, freezing herbs in oil, lacto-fermented sauerkraut (latin american curido style), dehydrated zucchini and squash flour, canning no sugar strawberry jam using Pomona’s Universal Pectin, and getting our cured garlic ready for long term storage! Hope you find some inspiration as you harvest and preserve your own garden produce! Thanks for stopping by the homestead and God Bless!
