#GreenChilliPickle pt4

The salting is there for 2 reasons, to extract some of the moisture from the veg, and also to start the #preserving process. I will get through the whole 750g container. The excess gets washed off tomorrow

I still have dried spices, fresh green chilli, lemons ( zested), pears ( i usually use apples, but i scrumped these) and vinegar

These are examples to Jedi heroics from Linux community towards common good, yes.

"Linux is open source, it’s easier to keep Linux versions of games running. Rather than wait for whatever 'solution' Microsoft comes up with" ...

Steam has an actual Linux platform now - SteamOS - with a dedicated device: Steam Deck.

Way too hot to go over the #allotment and do the things I need to do, so made some prickles instead. #growyourown #preserving #lactoferment

Squeezing in a bit of #preserving in today, these #allotment eggplants needed something done to them so I am trying Chunky Chunky Melenzane* — Italian style melanzane sott’olio, similar to: https://memoriediangelina.com/2020/08/08/melanzane-sottolio-eggplant-cured-in-oil/

Amazing how 5 kg of Shepherd red peppers will, after roasting them, fit into 5 small ziplock bags.

5 pints of marinara sauce for the win! I grew the tomatoes, basil, and garlic. #Freezing #Preserving #GrowYourOwn #Food

@BroadforkForVictory I like the design simplicity of these jars, and I cannot be relied on to "burp" anything — we'd end up having a messy accident. I've got 6 of them I bought a few years ago for #preserving and like them enough that I've ordered this box of them from Germany which is far cheaper than any UK source I can find. We do also use various reused jars, just not for #fermentation.

Internet canning recipes have always been sketchy, but search engine optimization (SEO) is now forcing the worst of the worst to the top of searches. AI articles and dunces like Brad Leone only intensify the damage. Please only use recipes from trusted sources. #canning #preserving #fermenting

The Ball website is good

So is the National Center for Home Food Preservation

Finished putting away the tomatoes, a whole tray fit into two small snack bags. Tried pickling a few pickling cucumbers and some cucamelons, started making apple butter which will take all day. 10 cups of apples chopped, 9 apples used from our tree #food #cooking #preserving

@levampyre @richrollgardener My family freezes sweetcorn. Cook the ears as usual, then cut off from the cob when it’s cool enough to handle. Freeze in quart bags on sheet pans so they lay flat and are stackable later. Not quite as good as fresh from the field, but worlds better than a bag from the store
(I just wish I had an effective freezer container that didn’t involve single use plastics)

@Jerry
Ketchup is mostly about cheating the tastebuds. is not really part of "cooking" for a dish, and especially not for a savoury dish, in our opinion.

Relishes for #preserving are a different story, too. For preserving the sugar is fine, but adding sugar while one is cooking with tomatoes is just wrong.

Take that thought with a 'pinch of salt', though.

Help!

Was given about 8 BIG zucchinis by my neighbour a couple of weeks ago. They are elbow-to-wrist and larger.

It has been too long and we haven't been home enough to use them.

I love when they are crunchy, but any preserving will probably do away with that. We usually slice them in 2 lengthwise, hollow them out, fill them and grill them until they are hot but still have a bit of a crunch.

What can I do with them - cook/freeze, freeze or make raw for cooking later?

My next adventure is going to be into the world of canning. I ordered some books from the library to help me along. I have some jars already so I just need to get some lids. This will be fun and a useful skill for when we move up north.

I'll be bringing home about 20 or 30 lbs of these mangos next week. I will make and can some delightful mango preserves and some fantastic tangy/sweet n spicy mango chutney. 🤤 #eatlocal #foodie #cooking #preserving #homesteading #hawaii

When Sunday falls on a Tuesday and you have plenty of time to finally get around and making jam again.

FYI, this is what I did (if anybody is interested). To ferment 1.6kg of #limes:

✅ Chop limes into eighths
✅ Add 2T non-iodised salt (I used coarse sea salt)
✅ Add 6 or-so cloves of garlic (peeled)
✅ Add 1t of chilli flakes
✅ Add 1t of whole black peppercorns
✅ Stir with wooden spoon to ensure salt dissolves and coats all ingredients
✅ Keep stirring
✅ Once a good amount of juice has been drawn from the fruit, force the lot into your chosen vessel (I chopped one too many limes, and had to discard a few pieces - I should have stuck to 1.5kg...)
✅ Top-up lime juice with water if necessary to submerge all fruit, and agitate to mix
✅ Apply airlock
✅ Go do something else for at least a week

Enjoy!
