Summers are always the best time of year for me when I was growing up, except Saturdays, when my mother was going to die with his "awakening" to raise their voices and they all go into the garden early in the morning before pulling the dew grass and weeds. We must all work for a couple of hours and then took us off the hook chain gang for the fun of summer with family.
What I like worse than in the morning wake-up calls in the summer on Saturday, were the fall after school andWeekends, when the canning industry has on our lives.
The house was filled with the smell of jams, jellies, pickles, pears, peaches, grape juice, tomatoes, apple sauce, apple pie filling, green beans and corn.
For weeks, when I got home from school and the smell of moisture in the air by Canner, or a pressure cooker, I was desperately trying to sneak through the back door and enjoy some freedom with the horses, but my mother seemed always find me, like heat seekingMissal of challenge, and I would again be together in the kitchen canning to help with our winter storage of food.
I must say that when winter came, always set our table with the best preserved. I've never seen food as a food shelf, natural flavor and taste that is not easy to describe.
After all these years and all my complaints, I am grateful that my mother "forced" me into the mysteries of gardening, canning and learnCooking.
Pickling and curing are old ways of preserving food by pickling vegetables Mesopotamia 4,500 years ago.
The modern canning process was started by a Frenchman named Nicolas Appert, the end of the 19th century to win a prize offered by the French navy. Appert began experimenting with meat and vegetables obtained by heating and sealed in the bottle.
Each year I plant a garden full of vegetables, and water and fertilizer my trees in the hope thatEnd of Summer will be long days with the smell of a damp house with jam and jelly, beans and corn, tomatoes and onions, sauce and apple butter, applesauce, apple pie filling and other treasures stuffed in my garden. My husband can bring home the meat of the game or the butcher, and the house special is the smell of the past Jerkies be kids snowboard, sled, and the long nights of my husband in his carpentry shop my Christmas gift or for a giftchildren. If not preserved or injections, the smells, the Chamber of dried herbs for cooking meals wonderful winter landscape invite your best friends. My house smells like mint tea, often took young and fresh from my herb garden, dried and sealed to my tea party for girls at 4:00 with his best friends after a cold winter day in school. My husband and son, like the special tea based on my garden too!
In a society where everything is made of a box or a business or become aThe gourmet restaurant, homemade or unique touch.
It used to be the "gourmet" label belonged exclusively to the European market. Americans have always thought in terms of European specialty items that together much better than ours, and in 1982, American Specialty Foods, was much smaller than today.
Today hundreds of small U.S. companies have flooded the market products based on fruit and gourmet vegetables. The National Association offor the specialty food trade Fancy Food Shows two each year are filled with exhibitors from 50 states. handwritten labels, brochures, catalogs and picturesque village are everywhere.
For those who like the taste of home comforts, but can not imagine a collection of garden, sterilized glasses, or face all the steam and the huge pots, is a charm in the phrase "braised" obsolete " and "local."
I recommend growing your gardenor in your garden or in pots on the patio. No insecticides, pesticides, herbicides without damage to the environment, to produce just tastes better. While maintaining their food, their nutritional benefits are large compared to the grocery store.
If you want to try preserving your own food, I recommend the following:
