Summer Sampler--Preserved Veggies & Jellies

A bounty of produce from Barry's garden this summer has kept us quite busy preparing recipes that are "tried and true." Below is a sampling of his garden veggies + a link to our trusty recipes. Instead of canning the pickled okra and beets this year, I  simply refrigerated them. Along with the refrigerated pickles, we've had ready made relishes/salads all summer long!

A few of our "tried & true" caniing/preserving recipes include . . .

Pickled Okra— this year I just make refrigerator okra by adding all the ingredients 

to a saucepan and heating for about 8 minutes and then just adding to a refrigerator jar 

Pickled Beets -- also did refrigerator-style avoiding the canning process

Refrigerator Bread & Butter Pickles

Sweet Pickle Relish

Salsa -- Barry makes this & uses about half the sugar called for in Sandi's recipe

Hot Pepper Jelly

Crabapple Jelly
