Hey All! I just subscribed to your email notifications. I have been reading since Sarah F first linked this blog on Facebook. Who knew such fun stuff was going on a mere 3 hours away?
And, to answer your question. . .I would love to preserve some salsa this summer! There are so many yummy options for salsa and I think I would like to try multiple recipes, especially one with corn.
We can tomato sauce every year to get us through the long, cold, sunless winter. On a good year, we can a hundred quarts using tomatoes, garlic, onions, basil and peppers that we grow in our gardens. On a bad year, like last year, we buy tomatoes and can 25 quarts.
I love your blog and great idea for the giveaway! We have so many cucumbers this year that I would love to preserve some homemade pickles…In general, I would love to become a bit more savvy with preserving and canning our garden products.
Tomato salsa – our family consumes this staple in large quantites.
I been getting your RSS feed for a couple weeks and have immensely enjoyed it.
Sounds like Philip K and I are on the same wavelength: I also plan on making salsa (in part, with produce from Kilpatrick Family Farm, the remainder from my garden — or should i say it vice versa? 🙂
I just subscribed to the email service! I am really happy to have found you (I’m up in LkGeo.)
Happily left a link on my FB page about your blog and contest
jam, relish and pickled garlic
I have been getting the feed for a few weeks, since Chris sent it to me.
I have a above ground garden with herbs and veggies and I know I’m not going to be able to eat or give them all away and I don’t want anything to go to waste. So I would love to know how to save/preserve everything that I have left over!
Now all of my friends on Facebook can see what you guys are up to.
I love the looks of this book and may need to get my hands on it even if I don’t win it. I’ve subscribed and will post a link! As for preserving, I’d like to figure out a new way to make chutney from farmers market goods (does that count?).
Absolutely Alexis. And there are recipes for chutney in the book. Good luck!
I am clueless about preserving so this book would be great!
I jumped ahead without reading rules 🙂 I would like to preserve blueberries as they are my favorite summer fruit!
I already subscribe:)
posted about this on facebook!
visted sherri brookes site!
tweet done! Phew:)
Well, I would have to say we would eventually try to do it all! First would have to be a watermelon salsa. Thankfully we have a fantastic variety of fruits & veggies in our garden and this would be a big step towards reducing any waste.
Subscribed but it stops here with me….we do not facebook or tweet! Good luck to all and regardless I need to pick up this book! Thanks for incuding me in this.
Visited Sherri’s site. . .good stuff!
Posted it on my Facebook page! How fun!
I have been reading for some time now. The book sounds so good to me. I may have to hijack my canning supplies back from Sarah F, since she got them from me (her mom). Oh, and I have signed up for the email subscribe service.
The book sounds great to me. I’d love to do some salsa and some yummy delicious pickles for satisfying my preggo cravings.
I would LOVE to preserve some upcoming butternut squash. Can’t get enough of it!
I preserved 60 quarts of dill pickles, a summer tradition with my sister.
I subscribed! Love it!
We love to make jam, but would also like to try preserves! Looks like a great book!
YAY Jodi!
