Strapping down the farmstand with the sketchy weather headed in! Did someone forget to tell me it is spring again?!? Such weird weather in November.

Bringing this video back around with canning season right around the corner this is good practice for beginners. No risk of scary "B" words and it can help your confidence when moving onto water bathing foods. Being prepared doesn't make you a prepper. These first aide jars cost us nearly nothing and we've stocked our pantry with essentials tools for natural disaster or when our livestock give birth or suffers an injury.

Cleaned up an antique wood burning stove to replace our smaller one. Going to be a harsh winter, I feel it in my bones.

Homemade sauerkraut is so easy to make at home, there is no reason to buy it in the store!

Homemade Sauerkraut

* 1 medium head green cabbage (about 2 lbs)
* 1 tablespoon non-iodized salt

Instructions

1. Remove outer cabbage leaves and set one aside.
2. Thinly slice the cabbage and place it in a large bowl.
3. Sprinkle with salt and massage for 5–10 minutes until the cabbage releases plenty of liquid.
4. Pack the cabbage tightly into a clean quart jar, pressing it down so the liquid covers the cabbage.
5. Place the reserved cabbage leaf on top to keep everything submerged.
6. Loosely cover the jar and let it ferment at room temperature for 1–4 weeks, checking occasionally to ensure the cabbage stays below the brine.
7. Taste after 1 week. When it reaches your preferred tanginess, refrigerate.

Store in the refrigerator for up to several months. This is a great basic recipe for beginners and can be customized with carrots, garlic, dill, or caraway seeds.

I've been dry canning for the apocalypse since 2018. This is the best way to prevent critters from ruining your dried goods. Plastic is just not an option for long term storage.

Right now is the perfect time to build up your herbal medicine cabinet. This remedy along with a hot tottie is a go too remedy for our family. When this is ready we add a little bit of honey to tone down the spiciness level.

I think my family thinks I’m joking but it’s very serious 😆
