How many of you have a garden? And how many of you have more cucumbers than you know what to do with? Pickles are the perfect thing to can with all of those cucumbers. What about the squash and zucchini? They can be used to can relishes or just slice and freeze! Okra is also really good pickled!
Before you know it tomatoes will be coming in by the pounds which is my personal favorite! I love to can salsa and Italian sauce.
Living off the land is a lot of hard work but truly pays off at the end of the season. Aside for canning, freezing is an easy way to put up corn, peppers, beans, squash, and more. Fill that freezer and stock up the canning room because when the winter rolls around it will provide the perfect food for a good bowl of soup or a country dinner! AND don't forget the BERRIES for pies, cobblers, jellies, and jams! Boy oh boy let's get to work!
