Episode 194: Preserving Peaches
Today we talk about canning, jamming, drying and freezing peaches along with tips I have learned over the years to make things go smoother.
Urban Homesteading Workshop in Charlottesville, VA
Hack My Solar Workshop in Clinton, TN
Amazon Highlight: Zyliss Garlic Peeler
Tales from the Prepper Pantry
- Peachapalooza – jam city
- Out of jelly jars and low on canning jars and have not yet done beans, corn, dilly beans, green chilies or salsa
- Focused on eating through the freezer – still haven’t done the summer audit
- JulyChallenge Update – chocolate rations story
- Assessing weaknesses – bourbon, chocolate, snacks – not a true weakness
- In-Season means in-season (Onion problem is not really a problem)
- Paper supplies are mostly well managed but it is going to be close on some items
- I do not plan my pet food well
What’s in Season
- Jewel weed
- Red amaranth
- Nother wild green that is packed with nutrient
- Harvest young flowers to eat
- Seeds are a grain that is gluten free
- >>I always identify it when it is a bit late to eat the seeds but plan to cultivate a patch on my wild food hillside
Operation Independence
- 14 jars of peaches, 55 jars of jelly – $50 and a relaxing weekend of canning invested
