Yeah I read that too. Incredible.

Amazing. That wasn’t my canning though! Haha. I’ve only done it a handful of times so I’m still not 100% confident in my abilities to not kill whoever eats what’s inside!

30 year old honey sounds amazing. Like wine. I could see that selling in high end natural foods stores...

2009???? Oh my god! I’m freaked out about trying things just a couple of years old. I’m amazed canned items hold up that well for that long!

8 year old tomatoes???? Was that using pressure canning or regular canning? I’m new to canning and so this was a project to preserve ample tomatoes from the garden in a new way. I typically make tons of “sun” dried tomatoes in a very low oven, but then freeze them in ziplock bags.

No buldging, no mold, no moisture buildup inside, nothing floating on top of sauce. The taste is not what I remember making, however it had been sitting a bit longer than I intended. Might try a bit again today... and hope for the best! Thanks for the help!

I had plans last night to try some of our canned tomato sauce last night. However when we tasted it, there were some strange flavors like beef bouillon or Worcester sauce. It didn’t taste sour or bitter, however it is likely to be 2 or 3 years old. Any advice? Thanks!!!!!!

It’s the only way I’ve ever known. Suburbia! You either grow your own, pay for what you pick, or buy from the grocery store. We’d have to get away a bit to find wild and free anything. We do get lucky with things at the state park which is pretty close to us. But the park rangers drive around...

That’s some beautiful imagery! You certainly know a lot about that area too. I’m not sure I know anywhere I’ve lived that well.... though I guess I haven’t spent 15 years in one place yet either. I’m always looking for new items to forage and places to forage. Perhaps this spring will bring...

Are those wild fruits growing on their own or abandoned by previous owners?

Nope. No snow here ⛄️ 😪

Well yeah, that’s excessive. I don’t live as far north as you. But snow here and there is our usual in the winter. Having 2-3 feet of snow lingering around until March is what we’re used to. Not much last year, and so far 1 dusting which melted immediately this year. I don’t need Maine level...

Beautiful! I so wish we had snow. What’s the point of winter if you can’t watch a beautiful snow fall and then take the kids sledding. 😕

In the 40s here today and a small break from rain. But more rain is coming in a bit, 4th day in a row! Tomorrow Rainy and 54. 😬

My babes “holding up” a pole when her daddy was building the chicken run this weekend. Yes those are Peppa Pig pajamas!

I can’t believe there is more, that’s a hell of a lot right there! You’re pretty much living off the land!!!

Wow! Very cool! We have lots of mushrooms around our property, I’ve always been afraid to try any in case they’re not what they appear to be.

Sounds awesome. What are beauty berries? Never heard of those.

Wow! That’s what’s it’s like here too. It seems like all people care about is pretty and ornamental. Fruit falling would be considered too messy and a hassle! Ugh!!!😔

Jealous of the pecans! I take it you’re down south!
