#Canuary
Canuary continues — a couple of nights ago a few bags of shallots were unclaimed from the charity waste collection.

So I am guessing today’s task is going to be some Balsamic pickled onions!!

Waste not want not - and they are delicious of course!

Was organised last night to get day 7 #canuary sorted!

2 bags of slightly soft lemons - sliced and into the dehydrator overnight to make a jar of lemon slices that are perfect for me to add to a pot of tea!

I can remember the days when lemons were a luxury so it’s nice not to have to waste any.

Frozen blueberries being turned into blueberry lemon thyme jam here on the Croft this morning.

I defrosted an iced over freezer this week - this fruit is being repurposed from there!

Hoping for three lovely jars in about 30 minutes!

I have been challenged to can something every day in Jan- don’t know how practical that is going to be cos we are also doing a pantry challenge where we are eating from our stores!

Today a quick red pepper and onion pickle from veggies in the bottom of my fridge. Cooling now!

Easy project on the croft today!

Thai pickled birdseye chillis.

Bit intense for a Sunday morning with all the fine slicing and hot vinegar - but Day four of #canuary is done!!!

10 jars of spicy Salsa Verde are done! This is mixed with grilled tomatillos, yellow pear cherry tomatoes, onion, jalapeno, small peppers, touch of lemon juice, and smoked salt. Delicious! #themistymushroom #canning #homesteading #canuary #wecandoit #growyourownfood

The mushrooms I dried and dehydrated are now in a jar and in my pantry!

The weekend is coming so time to plan some more exciting things to add!!

Lots of milk leftover from last nights Charity waste collection. It’s out of date now so I can’t legally give it away but I can make fresh cheese from some of it & repurpose it that way!!

So today will be a cheese making day!

But first - a quick jar of pickled Thai chillis for #canuary day 4!

Balsamic pickled shallots!

Smells lovely - fruity and warm rather than vinegary and sharp.

These are cooked pickled shallots so need only 24 hours of so to be ready to eat.

Day five of #canuary is done!!!

More shallots that went unclaimed - so made proper old-fashioned “chip shop” sized pickled onions!!

Peeled raw onions squashed into a jar and then a hot spiced brine is poured over to completely submerge the onions.

Lid on for a month or so and they will be done

Canuary?

What do people generally can in January? I bought some big jars for storage yesterday and this cheerful older woman was like, "Oh someone's celebrating Canuary!" which was adorable but then after I was like, wait winter foods are getting canned? Citrus? (Not that I'm going to. Just curious.)

6.30 am - time to shake a leg!!!

Hammering down sleet today so don’t think a hour or so in the garden is going to happen before lunch.

Got some red cabbage to deal with so that’s my #canuary goal for today

And setting the dehydrator off with another batch of carrots would be great!

Let’s go!

Every month is canuary

Pears kind of makes sense to me. I know some people enjoy preserved lemons. But I didn't think it was a big enough event to have have a cute title. Canuary! So cute.

Today I canned 13 cans of ham stock from a random ham hock that was lurking in the freezer.

Only a few have scraps of ham in them - but every jar is full of lovely smoky stock for soups and beans in a really convenient form.

So day three of #canuary is in the jar (literally) LOL
