Another mega jackfruit harvest Our jackfruit trees are laden with fruits! We are struggling to keep up with the processing of them all. So far our go to method is lacto fermenting the green fruit. This allows us to preserve them outside refrigeration for weeks! We've been making green jackfruit hash, lasagna, and more.

Get hands on experience and great info on how to start, or how to continue caring for your space.

Lemon Balm Mead (Honey Wine) is bubbling away in the basement and I'm seriously looking forward to this one. The recipe comes from a new book called "Artisanal Small Batch Brewing" by Amber Shehan (@amberpixiespocket).
We still have sooo much lemon balm and I'm thinking I should have made a 5 gallon batch...still time I guess =)
Recipe Here, along with info on where to pick up your own copy of this sweet brewing book (clickable link in bio) ~ https://practicalselfreliance.com/lemon-balm-mead/

The @mtairylavender springhouse. This springhouse has been such a great help with our research. It’s served as a marker in almost every deed transaction. Also described are the conveyances and shared rights for its use, stating that all surrounding properties benefited. The Mt. Airy Lavender Farm springhouse is interesting as there is a finished room above with what looks to be a former chimney for a stove. “Others were almost small houses with a second story and a fireplace to heat water. Hired men could live on the second floor. Because the inside atmosphere tended to be humid and moderated by the flow of cold water, the larger spring houses also served as a storage place for apples, beets, carrots, turnips and other vegetables and foods.” - Berks Mont News, Robert Wood Columnist. This is a great article about Springhouses, their construction and uses. We’ve posted the full link in our bio. Happy Reading!!#springhouse #foodpreservation #naturalsprings #springwater #pioneers #historyrocks .

Side note: the last image is the lower level of the springhouse. Note the reflection of the window in the water. So neat!!
She is filling back up! I think I may need another shelf!

By staying inside more to avoid the heat, I’m getting caught up on canning. Canned 12 pints of freezer pickles yesterday. This is a sweet pickle and when thawed the pickled cucumber, peppers and onions are surprisingly crunchy.

Crisp pickle tips, because ain't no one got time for soggy pickles.
.
Grow or purchase picking cucumbers. My favorite is the Chicago pickling (heirloom variety of course).
.
Always pick in the morning before the heat of the day. Don't pick overripe cukes, should have ridges and be prickly, not smooth. Put in fridge or ice water (depending on recipe) immediately.
.
Remove the blossom end of the cucumber. It has enzymes that make pickles soggy.
.
If doing fermented pickles, add a grape or oak leaf (the tannins help keep 'em crunchy).
.
Don't have leaves, use 1 tea bag or 1 teaspoon of black tea leaves to 1/2 gallon of brine.
.

My fave is garlic dill followed by mustard pickle, then bread snd butter. Now I'm off to eat crunchy pickles.

Samples of most of the different foods I have freeze dried over the last 6 months. I love freeze dried food! The texture is amazing, it keeps more nutrition than dehydration, can be stored up to 25 years, and the flavor is enhanced over fresh. That being said, find out why I'm no longer freeze drying my food in my harvest right freeze dryer in my latest GYG episode at https://youtu.be/PQ7ExG7fpj8 #freezedried
