I use garlic often in my cooking. It lends a vibrant flavor to even the simplest of savory dishes.
Here’s how I easily plant, harvest and preserve the garlic harvest.

The final harvest of all my fresh herbs from the garden happens before the first killing frost of the season. Then preserve them to use all year long.
A Facebook follower asked about my herb-drying setup. Y’all know I’m all about simplicity! So I thought I’d show the simple way I dry my fresh herbs.

I grow & harvest lots of garlic every year. So much so that there’s no way I can use it all fresh before it goes bad. So to preserve some of the garlic further I also like to keep a jar filled with peeled garlic cloves in my freezer.
But ugh, peeling that many cloves is going to be a long, sticky chore, right?
Come see how I can peel whole heads of garlic cloves in seconds.

It’s easy, inexpensive & healthy to make homemade nutritious bone broth yourself. To preserve broth you can freeze it – or pressure can it to make it shelf stable.
Don’t be intimidated by a pressure canner, y’all. Canning broth is easy.

I only planted a few okra plants in the garden. So how will I accumulate the few okra I harvest each day until I have enough to fry?
I keep a dry seasoning mix in my freezer. Then I’ll add the cut okra to that mix each day until I have enough to fry.

I have a couple of bags of frozen blueberries in my freezer. But right now freezer space is at a premium. So I need to empty some of its contents and one of those bags of frozen blueberries needs to come out.
I’ve got plenty jars of jelly/jam in my pantry so there’s no need right now to make more Blueberry Jam. And a person can only (healthily) eat so many Blueberry Muffins.
So my thoughts turned to ways to dehydrate some blueberries for my pantry instead. Turns out it was pretty easy.
