Apricot Canning

I got a whole bunch of apricots from visiting the Central Valley in California last week, 72 pounds. I ended up canning Apricot halves in syrup from Ball, in both pints and quarts. Also Apricot puree (following https://nchfp.uga.edu/how/can/canning-fruits-and-fruit-products/fruit-purees/ ), and Apricot butter from Ball. Super proud! W…

The Greek oregano I started from seed last year is flourishing (so proud!), and about to start flowering. So this is the moment: freeze or dry to preserve it for winter?

1970s Handi-Wrap: Seal It Tight—Keep It Fresh!

This old Handi-Wrap spot feels like a kitchen ritual—cling, seal, and save—before everything needed to be “smart” to stay fresh. If you grew up using wrap to stretch leftovers, this one’s going to hit right in the heart.

Baking with jam

@vaviurka has turned a big pot of leftover onions into onion chutney, some have been replanted to sprout and eat as spring onions and #Schwiemu has taken the rest home (and brought fresh radish and lettuce from her greenhouse).

No waste! :)
