• Post-harvest Losses: Threat to General Food Security

  
  Socyberty — Authority: 507
  Imgae via Wikipedia The reality of the problem of post harvest losses in the nations of the world suggests that it is undermining our efforts towards food sufficiency. Over the years successive governments mostly in the developing nations have introduced programmes aimed at building our capacity for food production. ...

• How to roast the perfect turkey

  
  Eat Close To Home — Authority: 115
  I love, love, love Thanksgiving. For 12 years, we’ve hosted Thanksgiving at our house for our phamily. All of us spend Christmas and other holidays with our families-of-birth, but this holiday is spent with friends we made in and after college. Folks come in from out of town, everyone takes a turn cooking, and ...

• The good new is that I’m canning venison; the bad news is that David’s transmission broke

  
  Ask Jackie — Authority: 112
  I’m once again canning up a deer that my son, Bill, donated. It’s lucky he did, too, as we didn’t have much luck this year hunting. I had a doe tag but won’t shoot fawns…or a doe with fawns. And guess what was all I saw every time I went out? Yep, lots of does with fawns, fawns, and more does with fawns. Oh ...

• Squirrel Jerky Recipe

  
  Daily Survival — Authority: 140
  Thats right, Squirrel Jerky, this isnt your average Beef Jerky! No more store bought brands of Beef Jerky sealed in their little plastic bags. Jerky was originally a survival food, not a snack for low carb losers looking to stuff their face while driving to the next ...

• Water Cooler Aims to Preserve Food in Poor Countries. Can It Really?

  
  Trends Updates — Authority: 589
  In most underdeveloped countries, people use mud pots in which they keep water to drink chilled water. These countries are poor and cannot afford refrigeration. In Africa, water is used to cool vegetables and food products when a refrigerator is not available. That idea is now used to create the Thermodynamic Cooler ...

• Mom is home from rehab!

  
  Ask Jackie — Authority: 112
  I brought Mom home from rehab at the nursing home Friday. And we look on it as a major miracle. When she was in the hospital with a severe bladder infection, we were almost sure she wouldn’t be alive in a week; her kidneys started to fail and she slept nearly all the time. When she was awake, she barely knew us and ...

• Red Cabbage Kraut

  
  Homegrown Evolution — Authority: 488
  Homegrown Neighbor here: Red cabbage sauerkraut is my new favorite condiment. I put it on everything including stir-fry, pasta, eggs, salads and soups. The kraut is salty so it is a great addition. No need to add salt or soy sauce to anything- kraut will kick up the flavor. Then of course there is the color. ...

• Crock-Fermented Dill Pickles

  
  Flying Tomato Farms — Authority: 124
  This is my second year making crock dills in cooperation with my friend Cathy, who lends me the crocks her grandmother used.  The cukes come out of my gardens, as well as the peppers.  This year’s dill came from my friend Amy’s garden, and the garlic is Patti’s from Evergreen Farms (certified organic). The ...

• I just finished canning some smoked port shoulder that friends brought up

  
  Ask Jackie — Authority: 112
  It’s deer hunting season here in northern Minnesota, so I’m quickly canning up some great smoked pork shoulder that my friends, Pam and Joan, brought up to me awhile ago. They got a great deal on it and shared with me. I had taken it, frozen, to my friend, Jeri’s house. They’re on grid and had a nearly empty ...

• Will’s fixing Old Yeller and I’m getting the orchard and garden ready for winter

  
  Ask Jackie — Authority: 112
  Our beloved old 1010 John Deere crawler, nicknamed “Old Yeller,” is finally getting fixed. Because Will knew it would be a rough job, he kind of put it off. Parts were very hard to find because it’s a 1962 machine. We looked and looked, all across the country, only to find them, just this week, less than 100 ...

• Naked seed pumpkin

  
  Throwback at Trapper Creek — Authority: 122
  The jury is still out on the naked seed pumpkin in our garden.  The idea of seeds you can just eat straight out of the pumpkin without shelling is intriguing, and I had grown Snack Jack before.  But, with all the harvesting and preserving projects each fall, adding one more job that needed attention at that busy ...

• Sweet Meat

  
  Throwback at Trapper Creek — Authority: 122
  I won’t mince my words, I think mincemeat  should contain meat, or it should be called something else.  Much like the famous turkey made out of tofu or soy hotdogs.  What’s up with that?  If you don’t want to eat meat, don’t.  Just eat the tofu if that is what you want, you’re not honoring a turkey, ...

• We’ve had snow and freezing, but harvest continues

  
  Ask Jackie — Authority: 112
  Today I finished up the last minute harvest in our garden. It was windy, wintery, and raw, but I pulled two five-gallon buckets of rutabagas and another one of carrots. That’s it. I’m done. All but putting the garden to bed for winter. If it gets done, this year… I’m busily cutting old screens I saved from ...

• Baking Day!

  
  Raising Peanuts — Authority: 131
  This week Crystal and Fishmama are co hosting a baking day, and since I haven’t done one of these since before the baby was born, I’m quite overdue! I love having a couple meals in the freezer ready to go, or at least partially finished so it doesn’t take so long to cook up each night. My plan for today is ...

• Goat breeding season is beginning on our homestead

  
  Ask Jackie — Authority: 112
  It’s time we introduced our does to our new Boer buck, Thor. We breed two does the end of October or first of November, for late March or early April kids, and two a month or two later for May to late May babies. This gives two does to provide milk at the same time for both the kids and us. And there is no milk-less ...

• Bartram Blackberry Jelly

  
  E.r.r.a.n.t — Authority: 120
  Back in July when I was working at Bartrams Garden I foraged several quarts of blackberries from the blackberry bush (more like blackberry hedge) in the parking lot. I suffered sunburn and mosquito bites to harvest those berries, then I let them sit in the freezer for several months before getting around to ...

  Flying Tomato Farms — Authority: 124
  Clearing out the last of the tomatoes, so I can move the wire rack I’m holding the excess produce on back into the sunny bedroom window for the houseplants (which is its main function). I had three pint boxes of ripened red pear tomatoes, plus a couple peach lugs about half full each of red and ripening fruits.  ...

• Back to the Canner

  
  Flying Tomato Farms — Authority: 124
  I’ve taken a few week hiatus from the canner as I work on my courses and get the house in shape after the growing season.  But I did buy a big box of apples at the farmers market, and I’ve had my mind set on chutney ever since I got them. My attitude toward chutney might make a traditional Indian cook wince ...
