Our journey to producing more and consuming less on 1/8 acre in the middle of the city. Urban farming, through keeping backyard chickens and a top bar hive of honey bees, practicing organic vegetable gardening, taking care of several fruit trees, maintaining a compost pile, canning and preserving our harvests and trying our best to do it all ourselves using reclaimed materials where possible.

Canning Fool!
It's official. I've become addicted to canning. Everything I see now...fruit, vegetable, whatever... I wonder if I can stick it in a hot water bath and save it for later. It's a problem. There truly are not enough hours in the day.

Too funny! Isn't it so satisfying though!!
ReplyDeleteLooking at your beetroot canned jar I feel inspired to try preserving them too. But I am still really a novice on preserving food.
ReplyDeleteThis is my first year canning and it's been lots of fun and a bit of a learning curve! I definitely recommend trying it...it feels so good to see your own canned food on the shelf, just waiting to be eaten!!!
