    I have started doing this for garlic, and figured I would pass it on to you! So, firstly, take any glass jar with a lid, and throw a bunch of garlic cloves in (you want the cloves separated), leaving about half the jar empty. Then shake it really hard! The skins will come off quickly and easily. Then just cut the root end off. Throw all of those garlic cloves in a food processor, process it, then freeze that in ice cube trays. Literally takes just a few hours to freeze up, and they pop right out to store in a larger container. Super handy for quick and easy garlic, and it’s cut my garlic chopping time down significantly. I do this once a month now, and it is such a time saver.

    • @susanfreeman6350
      @susanfreeman6350 Год назад +1

      What a great idea. I think I’m going to give that a try. I’m going to freeze them in the smallest Souper Cube trays (same brand as the large Souper Cube Becky used to make ice for blanching veggies in this video.).

    The amount of dedication you have to feed your family healthy homegrown, home cooked food is just absolutely amazing! I do a lot of prepping, cooking and dishwashing and I’m on my feet for hours on end. I find that my anti-fatigue mat is such a huge blessing to my feet and back. I have a short one at the bottom of the stove and a long one at the sink and counter where I do my prep. I chose one that’s easy to clean.

    I was watching this show where you filled a large stock pot with water in the sink and then carried the heavy pot to the cooktop. It would have been a good idea to have installed one of those pot fillers at the cooktop to save you from carrying heavy pots.

    That is super interesting about the blueberries not needing to be pricked! I bet the variety does play a role.

    I really love your videos! Not only is it fun keeping up with your sweet family, but you really inspire me to keep moving towards our ultimate goal of being able to produce and preserve a years worth of food each year. I've gardened long enough to know quite a bit, but not long enough to be very good at putting it all in practice, so I really feel frustrated sometimes. It shouldn't be so hard to get things to grow well, especially when I'm doing all the things. But I figure it's just the natural learning curve. Sometimes I'm so successful with a particular crop, I can't keep up with the harvest, but never successful as a whole. Thanks for the inspiration to keep going!
