carnival of home preserving

Welcome to the August 4, 2008 edition of carnival of home preserving.

The Harvesting and Preserving Season is in full swing for many of us.

Friday evening, we came home to find a milk crate full of regular tomatoes and what was equal to another milk crate of Roma tomatoes. We know who it was that dropped them off. Without a doubt it was the local farmer that gibes us tomatoes each year and/or allows us to glean from his fields after his harvesting time is done. What a blessing he is to us!

I hope these carnival participants' posts will be a blessing to you this week.

Enjoy!

Although is not a true home preserving post, I thought I would still include it as it does entail using your freezer to make some make-ahead-meals. Myscha Theriault presents Assembly Cooking for Newbies | Wise Bread posted at Wise Bread, saying, "Thank you for considering my article."

Miscellaneous

Christy Jordan presents How To Make Peanut Butter Balls posted at Southern Plate, saying, "Peanut Butter Balls are a filling and nutritious snack to offer your children in place of the empty calorie laden candy bars offered at checkout counters! These can be made up in advance in large quantities and served straight from the freezer! My kids and husband love them! They are a lifesaver when I'm running a little late on supper!
