Smoothies!
Nov. 5th, 2010 01:03 pmIt's just past harvest time here in the PNW and we've been doing a lot of canning and freezing. We canned some marinara sauce because we eat a lot of pasta, though that cost more to do this year because of the bad tomato crop. I've sort of fallen in love with freezing, though. It's easier and safer to do than canning, and we have a large deep freeze in addition to our regular freezer, so there's no reason not to. We roasted pumpkins and scooped them out into freezer jam jars, and we juiced some carrots and tossed the pulp into the marinara and poured the juice into icecube trays to use for smoothies.
