Lady chef, how do you pretreat the mixed veggies for dehydrating?

Questions for you all on the saurkraut. Read the whole thread and have a little confusion (that's pretty normal for me). I have my cabbage chopped in a stainless mixing bowl, two medium cabbages. How much salt and can I pound it in that container? I will transfer some to a quart jar to ferment...

Just going through every thing you already have is a mind blowing affair. I know I am a food hoarder. I am seriously trying to use what I have but always think of recipes for things I don't have. Please don't let me look at the weekly food ads.

Ladychef and Punkin, The liquid, most of it boiled out of the jars. Followed canners instructions, had the book right next to me. All that pot liquor gone. What did I do wrong? Free Motion, I did a salt fermented refrigerated kraut in the spring. Is there an easy kraut recipe that I could can...

Mine are in the canner right now. Got 5 quarts and 2 pints. Extra pot liquor will be frozen for soups. That's my excuse for waiting to let the chicks free range until it warms up even a little. I put hog jowl chunks in each jar. My little pantry is growing. Now on to nine heads of cabbage. Ideas...

First I have to invent it. Thanks delia. I wondered if people really got to enjoy them or were being polite after throwing the stuff away. Then start seeing if the ingredients will come together in a tasty way.I am experimenting with whole wheat peanut butter bars this year too. I will post a...

Canning collard greens. Just had a hard freeze last night so I now have 2 garbage bags of collard greens on the kitchen floor. I remember seeing somewhere that some put a chunk of salt pork in the jars. Do you need to cook the meat first? Do you just follow the pressure canner time for greens or...

No, they are all in the USA. Just keep trying to find a way to share my eggs with them.

My kids are in their thirties with kids of their own. I would attach an " Open Now" sticker. I know people ship cookies and brownies overseas. I wonder if they arrive in eatable condition. Whole wheat is because my kids don't want to eat a lot of junk food. Any body send baked goods and received...

Does anyone here use whole wheat flour in their pound cake or twelve egg cakes? Have any of you mailed either of these in Christmas packages? I would love a way to share my bounty of eggs with my grown children but they all live too far to deliver myself.

Saved on food, kinda. Cleaned my large upright freezer and my refrigerator freezer and made a list of what was on each shelf and how much. Found steak taco meat I forgot I had and lots of other tidbits. Then sat down and made a list of all the dishes I could make buying as little add ins as...

Rural King in TN too

Can anyone enlighten me on how to clean chicken feet to use for stock? Oh I miss my Mexican grocery store (we moved) where I could get all the great feet I wanted. My stock seems so less flavorful now.

I get like that when the things on the to do list are all the ones I keep moving forward and I hate them all. Don't want to pretend I'm happy, don't want to talk, watch tv, hang out with the chicks. Then when you do force yourself something else always comes up from doing it. Yuck days, I'm...

We have just planted apple trees and saw a spray schedule of tons of chemicals. This should probably be on another forum but a few quick tips...

My book said scramble, dry and pulverize. Cannot be used as fresh for cooking. There was no info for rehydrating or using them.

Thankyou HannaLee. I too am a big fan of red palm oil. It was in a recipe for Brazillian shrimp stew, so began the search as the recipe stated iy would not be the same without it. Ordered it and coconut oil off the internet and did nutrional research on those oils and I was hooked. Dinner for me...

Does anyone here scramble eggs and dehydrate them. I would like to send my sons some for Christmas but my dehydrating book is vague about it.

Coconut milk lends a mild coconut taste, I up the flavor by using coconut oil to saute. I love coconut flavor in any winter squash recipe, like it in a thai shrimp soup too.

Not canning today but wanted to thank all of you for this very cool thread. Thanks to your generosity, I have canned my first dried beans and my own chicken broth. Want to make some of the cream of soups if I ever find a bargain on mushrooms. Bones for stock making are rare here too. Most stores...
