Our New Life in the Country is busily freezing, bottling and preserving food for the winter and has a challenge of eating for free for as long as she can. It's a worthy challenge which will save money in the long run. I've found that in the summer months we live off home grown veg. and fruit rather than buying it in. I thought I'd call the preserving, freezing and bottling of this bounty -
Harvest Hunkering,
saving our excess to use up in the winter months as opposed to buying in produce. I am joining in this challenge and for myself I shall endeavour to use up the harvest in the freezer though out the cooler seasons.
Hey that's more organisation for my Filofax - now I need a shopping section and a freezer section in order for my Harvest Hunkering to work smoothly. :}

PS 12 more plum crumbles have been cooked and frozen along with 2 bags of plums for the making of jam. Now I'm off to cut up those prolific courgettes and bag them for the freezer.
Happy Hunkering!
PPS Now what can I do with grapes? I've tried freezing them whole but I didn't eat all of them.

I really love grape jelly : )
ReplyDeleteI want another freezer. I've got far more to put in the freezer than I have space available.
I've been doing a bit of Harvest Hunkering myself with the damsons: chutney, gin and jam. I'm going to start stewing apples next and stocking the freezer with a few crumbles xx
ReplyDeleteA couple of years ago I made some grape jelly. Delicious on toast.
