This time of year ...I love, love, love my freezer. This time of year it is totally jammed full of stuff preserved from the garden: freezer pickles, julienned green peppers, sliced peaches, freezer olallieberry jam. All the hard work of the summer, ready to be enjoyed all winter :) We bought a used upright freezer when we were first married more than 25 years ago, and it is still perking along. It's probably 50 years old by now. It's one of the very favorite things I own. Last year I did an inventory sheet to help me use up what was in there. On the left side of the page I wrote what I had (8 jars of tomato sauce, for example). Then across the top I wrote the months of the year. In pencil, I put a mark in the month's slot when I planned to use the ingredient (so for the tomato sauce I would pick maybe Nov. through June, and allow myself one jar per month). As I pulled the jar out and used it, I'd mark over the pencil in pen, so I always knew what I still had in there. It worked great! It's time to make this year's inventory list.Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16562989307286675615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5550235196991576571.post-26063188541281256822010-10-28T15:31:18.828-07:002010-10-28T15:31:18.828-07:00i made a spicy onion & garlic jam this week......i made a spicy onion & garlic jam this week...full of onions, shallots, garlic and a bit of jalapeño...very slowly cooked in extra virgin olive oil...perfect way to use use up a bunch of onions... http://napafarmhouse1885.blogspot.com/2010/10/onion-jam-no-sugarthis-is-savory-dish.htmlNapa Farmhouse 1885https://www.blogger.com/profile/12448265276212974105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5550235196991576571.post-32219506658672375052010-10-27T18:50:23.338-07:002010-10-27T18:50:23.338-07:00I live in Florida and the Stash is not that often....I live in Florida and the Stash is not that often.

My favorite thing about owning a chest freezer is the little treasure I find in March that somehow didn't make it into our log book!!brandeehttp://www.crawfordandassociates.comnoreply@blogger.com
