We approach our carrot preservation a bit unconventionally, given our subarctic disposition.

Runner beans are far more common to find grown as food in European gardens than North American ones, which tend to treat this crop as ornamental. Nonetheless, they are a robust and prolific crop when grown in subarctic soils [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[One of our next major harvests for preservation purposes looks like it&#8217;s going to be our snow peas! They are coming in strong and starting to plump up, which means we need to harvest them imminently! For the uninitiated, peas have a ridiculous number of names that basically describe very similar and sometimes identical types [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[And so it begins! Our blanch &#38; freeze effort, which is our hands down favorite food preservation technique! We have a lot of resources on this subject, which we&#8217;ll link down below, but we&#8217;ll also describe it briefly. Blanching your foods is the process of briefly boiling your food for a specified period of time, [&#8230;]]]></description>

We&#8217;ve had multiple days of snow, have several inches on the ground and we&#8217;ve completed our final winter checklists!

We are definitely some of those &#8220;weird people&#8221; that actually like Brussels Sprouts. Not just growing them, but eating them as well. They are definitely [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[So, this year, we decided to fully preserve almost all of our carrots from the season using the blanch and freeze technique we often employ. The decision really comes down to having less than optimal storage conditions available to us and our desire to hit at least one year of storage time for preservation.

And that is to &#8220;right size&#8221; the packaging (size, amount, weight, etc) of what you preserve for the appropriate situation. We remember when we first started canning.

We&#8217;ve learned not to sit on these for too long as their field hardiness is quite limited. We&#8217;ve played around with a ton of different varieties of snap [&#8230;]]]></description>

With temperatures in the Interior pushing mid-80&#8217;s, there was no way we were going to do that preservation indoors! But, this goes to show that the blanch and freeze technique [&#8230;]]]></description>
