RecipeDescription
Blueberries for muffins First frozen, then dehydrated, then frozen for storage. 
Canning notes Peaches, pears and applesauce especially. 
Cranberry Sauce Sugar and cranberries macerated overnight and lightly boiled make an intensely cranberry compote. Also the option to use honey and NO sugar! 
Dehydration Notes Don't forget to keep the dehydrator working. 
Fat - Tallow or Lard Beef fat! Beautifully rendered into a shelf stable semi-solid. And Pig fat even more precious. 
Fermentation for Veggies The beginning of my lactofermenting! Pickles take just a few days on the counter then a week in the fridge and they are ever so good, and healthy! 
Fermented Green Chile Salsa Makes 2 quarts. This Green Chile Salsa acts like a base; not only is it a delicious green salsa as is, but it’s more—you will have ready-made flavor to keep on hand to add to many dishes. Try a few tablespoons in sour cream for a dip, with mashed avocado for a guacamole, or dump the already-prepared chiles, veggies and spices into the pot like a seasoning packet (with ingredients you can pronounce).

Jam or Compote - Honey or Maple Macerate using honey or maple syrup to make a very soft jam or a chunky compote. 
Jam or Compote - Macerated Very simple yet intense fresh taste with time and just a little boiling. 
Mexican Red Cooking Sauce Made from fresh tomatoes roasted until sweet and a combination of freshly made chili powder and fresh peppers. I use it as a salsa, for huevos rancheros, and mexican casseroles. 
Peppers Such beautiful colors! Don't forget to rejoice in their beauty alone. 
Pineapple  
Play dough from Mountain Rose Herbs 
Poached Pears or Peaches Poaching allows you to enjoy the flavor and texture of canned pears or peaches without committing the time to canning them. 
Rhubarb Notes on rhubarb! 
Soaked Nuts I don't soak many things but nuts are really yummy.
