    I'm sorry about your grandmother.

    I think you could dehydrate frozen ones without any further treatment. The point of blanching is to get rid of the waxy "bloom" on the skins so the insides will dry. I've tried both ways and much prefer blanching. Slicing each berry takes forever and I don't have that much time! When you blanch, it's just a quick dip in and out of boiling water.

    Sarah, I'm trying to comprehend all this. When you say "grand mal" type 1 diabetes, are you saying that it is accompanied by seizures or just comparing a very sudden onset?

    Well, of course Ihad to go to Amazon and look. I love the cover! I enjoyed the Grit article too. congratulations TMC!!

    Last summer, Dd and I saved all our tomatoe skins when we canned tomatoes and dried them. It does make a good flavored powder. We added it to some Tofu cream cheese and it was really good. We also did that with too-large cucumbers and made powder. Makes a yummy sandwich. I want to try other veggie powders too.

    Pansey, would you tell me how the berry screen works? Does it really screen out all the seeds?
  7. Daylily
    I guess you use the berry screen? I've been thinking about getting one and wondering if it really worked! AH, that's funny about the cat wiping the steam off the window with her nose!

    Butter Beans are not the tiny green limas that you find frozen in the store. Butter beans are large dried limas.

    This is so funny! We eat beans and cornbread every single day and sometimes twice. That's the main dish and anything else just goes along with it.

    The links don't seem to work anymore. I see lots of threads here I would like to read! Are they still available? How can I find them if they are?

    I've wondered that very same thing! I think it would be difficult to write a different "reality"

    We dry lots of yellow summer squash and zucchini. I don't blanch it. I've dried slices and chunks. Both work great. I just reconstitute it as a vegetable all by itself. Very tasty.

    That happens to me too.

    We would have been playing our musical instruments and singing, eating beans and cornbread and enjoying each others company! The girls would probably have cooked up lots of goodies for us. Merry Christmas!

    Ok, I don't remember but I must have.

    Thanks Cat, but all I see are the results with no boxes to check. At the bottom of the poll there is one button that says Delete My Vote.

    I can't figure out HOW to vote

    38 pints of pear chunks.

    Nothing I'm sick with a cold. DH and DS picked 4 bushels of apples from a friend's tree Friday. He didn't want them. We gave 1 bushel to another friend. They need to ripen a little more. We NEED to be canning mustard greens, okra, and probably more.

    out of the ordinary, haven't dried oregano but with the basil, we found that sifting the dried leaves in a regular old flour sifter makes the basil just like "store bought". When you get to the last of the batch the stems will start to come through the sifter so we stop sifting and toss that.

    We dry green and colored peppers and the skins seem to rehydrate fine.
  22. Daylily
    Today, 14 quarts of mustard greens. Hope to can apple slices in apple juice tomorrow and dry more cherry tomatoes.

    I've been thinking about canning our small potatoes. DH's cousin always cans the little ones. Last week, canned 22 pints carrots, 8 pints okra, 20 pints tomatoes. This coming week, we have blueberries, apple slices and I hope more tomatoes to can. Maybe mustard greens too.

    TurtleMama, come on over! The nectarines are yummy! Good for your DH knight:) We're still drying cherry tomatoes. They are SO good! We've been canning tomatoes and drying the skins for tomato powder; also drying summer squash.
  25. Daylily
    Nectarines and Sungold cherry tomatoes. Our peppers are just now starting to bloom! We have one variety, Sweet Rain, that Pinetree sent as a substitute for Gypsy that has lots of peppers on it.
