Is anyone doing any kind of end-of-season preservation? (canning, freezing, dehydrating, etc) If so, what are you doing?
My husband LOVES basil, so I always plant tons. He asked me to rescue the end of the basil before frost and dehydrate it for him. DONE! (but why? I ask you - basil tastes so much better fresh! LOL!) I also took half and made a gigantic batch of pesto and stored it in canning jars.
I didn't get any tomatoes again this year, so I didn't get any sauces made or anything like that. (what am I doing wrong with these tomatoes?!)
Anyone else want to contribute some good ideas, tips, tricks, etc for preserving end-of-season? THANK YOU!
