Putting By for Winter Meals

This change of season brings out the squirrel in me. No buried acorns but I do buy half bushels of fruit for jam, cook up the dribs and drabs of the garden for soup and find other ways to prepare for winter eating.
If you’ve never done it, you can begin with easy and satisfying jams, jellies, relishes and chutneys. Just follow the instructions that come with packaged pectin for the jam or jellies. Chutneys and relishes usually call for a mix of fruit and vegetables, chopped finely, simmered in vinegar and sugar and packed in hot jars. Onions, raisins and mustard seeds are often part of the mix too. Try plum chutney with a few hot peppers or a green tomato relish.
Oh yes, I used to have the full water bath rig for jars of tomato sauce and so. These days, however, I look for the most basic ways to save and I’d recommend several really easy ways to put a little by for your family. When kids are part of the process, the whole family will remember the mild day you picked or bought the produce and the adventure you had getting the food ready to wait for winter. One of the winter dishes that incorporates what they’ve helped to put up might even become a favorite.
