We forgot to buy mince for fresh dogfood. Thankfully I had canned some ‘Ruby food’ not long ago….

I had some dehydrated mint and found some clove after reading some benefits - adding it is also great for supporting blood sugar….doesn’t taste too bad either

• Improves Digestion & Gut Comfort: Clove stimulates the production of digestive enzymes, which helps reduce gas, bloating, and indigestion. Meanwhile, menthol in mint acts as a natural antispasmodic to relax the muscles of the gastrointestinal tract.
• Relieves Respiratory Issues & Congestion: Mint contains menthol, which functions as a natural decongestant to break up mucus and ease a scratchy throat. Cloves contain eugenol, which offers anti-inflammatory and mild numbing properties that soothe throat irritation and coughs.
• Fights Bad Breath & Oral Bacteria: Both ingredients have strong antibacterial and antimicrobial actions. Clove oil and mint help neutralize odor-causing bacteria in the mouth and leave a clean, fresh breath.
• Provides Antioxidant & Immune Support: Cloves are exceptionally high in antioxidants (such as eugenol) and manganese, helping protect cells from oxidative stress and supporting overall immune defense.
• Calms Stress & Promotes Relaxation: The aromatic profile of mint combined with the gentle warmth of cloves creates a comforting ritual that helps unwind after a busy day or a heavy meal.

I picked up a bag of pickling cucumbers and almost threw them out. I looked up a pickling recipe and 5 jars later……
They did smell ok, I’ll water bath 4 and leave one in the fridge to try in a weeks time

I came across Bitter Melon in the supermarket and thought it looked interesting. I grabbed one and looked up the properties when I got home.
- Blood sugar management
- Cholesterol support
- vitamin A & C
- Weight management
- Antioxidant & Immune support

I decided to take the easy way and dehydrate this one so I can use it in tea

I will break these up more - add to a reusable t-bag and pour over hot water
