Preserving the bounty — whether you grow it yourself or you snag a great deal from a local farm — is surprisingly easy. Lots of foods can simply be chopped and frozen, frozen whole or with simple cuts, or chopped and dried. No need to slave over a hot stove and a hissing canner (though you can if you want!).
This is the tune sung by Megan, the Creative Vegetable Gardener, and I completely agree.
Find out how to figure out what foods you should be preserving and how to do it super easily in today’s podcast.
