It’s not much but it is expensive 😂

This is my first year canning AND my first year gardening. I have learned a ton. I know this skill set and materials will serve me for decades to come but when I tell you the meat sauce is the most delicious, and expensive jarred sauce I've ever used I am not kidding. I would [...]

Two open jars of red jelly an a hearted shaped smear of jelly on a piece of brown bread

Whew. That was a lot of prep work but it's worth it. Way too many mushrooms to eat in one sitting means finding ways to preserve them as deliciously as possible.

I opted for dry sauteeing and pickling most of my finds, also dehydrating the pigs ears and Boletus/Suillis sp. I remember reading somewhere that Suillis pore layer and surface skin can be dehydrated, ground into a broth powder, and it eliminates any GI distress these parts of the mushroom normally cause when eaten fresh, so I'm going to try that.

Also trying to make a broth powder from the Gomphus sp (purple "chanterelle"), which has a characteristically strong neutral umame flavor. No GI issues for most people with that one, but the flavor is also... Well, it's just challenging to work with. Oddly good with Worcestershire sauce and pickled onions on tacos. Wondering if maybe the dry powder is easier to do something with.

My Applepocalypse has come to an end 🍎

I got through all I could before they got too soft and pesty. The last round of applesauce got washed, labeled, and put up this morning. I might do a few more pears – they’re holding up better. I might buy some apples cheap. But mom’s apples are done for now. by mckenner1122

Need a replacement gasket

Hello I recently inherited this pressure cooker but I can’t figure out what replacement gasket kit I need. It’s a national no7. I tried the presto 9907 and it was to large. I would really appreciate any help you can provide by Perfect-Victory5369

So yeah, as @afewbugs pointed out, it's best to NOT dehydrate spicy peppers (or onions) using a dehydrator inside one's home!

Choosing the Right Peppers

Not all peppers are created equal when it comes to dehydrating. Here are a few factors to consider when choosing peppers for dehydrating:

- Variety: Choose pepper varieties that are known for their flavor and aroma. Some popular varieties for dehydrating include jalapenos, habaneros, and Anaheim peppers.
- Ripeness: Choose peppers that are ripe but still firm. Avoid peppers that are overripe or soft, as they may not dehydrate well.
- Size: Choose peppers that are uniform in size, as this will help them dehydrate evenly.

Cleaning and Slicing Your Peppers

Once you’ve chosen your peppers, it’s time to clean and slice them. Here are a few tips to keep in mind:

- Wash your peppers: Rinse your peppers under cold running water to remove any dirt or debris.
- Pat dry your peppers: Use a clean towel or paper towels to pat your peppers dry. This will help remove excess moisture and promote even dehydrating.
- Slice your peppers: Slice your peppers into thin strips or rings, depending on your desired level of dryness. Thicker slices will retain more moisture, while thinner slices will dry more quickly.

Dehydrating Your Peppers

Now that your peppers are prepared, it’s time to start dehydrating. Here are a few tips to keep in mind:

Temperature Settings

The ideal temperature for dehydrating peppers depends on the type of pepper and your desired level of dryness. Here are a few general guidelines:

- Low temperature: 135°F – 140°F (57°C – 60°C) for 6-8 hours. This temperature setting is ideal for peppers that you want to retain some moisture, such as bell peppers or Anaheim peppers.
- Medium temperature: 145°F – 150°F (63°C – 66°C) for 4-6 hours. This temperature setting is ideal for peppers that you want to dry slightly, such as jalapenos or habaneros.
- High temperature: 155°F – 160°F (68°C – 71°C) for 2-4 hours. This temperature setting is ideal for peppers that you want to dry completely, such as ghost peppers or scorpion peppers.

So yeah, I have cast-iron spice grinder and a food dehydrator on hand, and I plan on making my own paprika powder! I just need to make sure I wear gloves when I handle them, since they are on the spicy side of the paprika spectrum!

#KudzuBlossom Jelly

by Molly53

"#Kudzu blooms the end of July through September. It has attractive bunches of delicate purple flowers with a fragrance reminiscent of grapes which may be used to make a unique jelly to spoon over cream cheese, or melt and serve over waffles and ice cream. Make sure picking area has not been sprayed with chemicals to kill the kudzu. Overnight steeping is not included in the preparation time. Posted in response to a forum topic."

Preserved weeds. In this case, the mint that grew on the side of the potato bed, dried in the attic and now stuffed into a recycled instant coffee jar.

Hmm, should add a spoon of that new honey 💡
