Preserving Your Harvest

[BReeder!]

I just wondered I am making 1 quart of pickle that uses all vinegar with mustard(dry) in it. Recipe is out of canning book I will let you all know how turns out.

All vinegar... good bless! I use equal parts vinegar and water and my picks tend to come out pretty sour, which I like. All vinegar would be too intense I think.

We are in a heat advisory so I did a bunch of work inside today.
This got done:

13 Jelly Jars of Jalapeno Jelly.

Anybody save sunflower seeds? I have a few sunflowers growing. Considering keeping the seeds for snacking if it's easy enough. Do I need to roast them?

For cucumber chips this is what I looked at:

As far as sunflower seeds, I had some last year and pretty much put them in a bag and fed to the chooks for treats, she’ll and all

You would need blanch carrots then freeze to preserve

Oh I was hoping to keep them whole like fresh from garden . Sorry I guess I didn't explain well.n

That's what I thought but they're not bad so far I just don't know how long fermentation will take. I think since there is no heat involved they raised the acidity. I tasted brine and not bad so far. My normal pickles that have heated brine. I use about half and half h20 and vinegar.

I guess after they're fermented if I want to I could water down brine be I can but once they're done it's almost too late.
