Strawberry season is finally here. Several batches of honey sweetened jam are preserved, aw well as some dehydrated and some saved in the freezer. This year I hope to have enough to last us through the winter. A bit of strawberry jam in the cold months is a reminder that warm weather will be on its way! Preserving a seasons harvest is work. I certainly feel that I put in more hours than I would for a full time job! But it is definitely worth the taste of freshly preserved produce all year long. It is a treat we can enjoy in addition to the butter on our pancakes!
This is a journey, and often a struggle, finding ways to feed my family nourishing food on our modest income. I hope to record my budget saving ideas and tips I find along the way.
