Thank you to WTHR-13 and Treeboy for the opportunity to demonstrate how to can vegetables on live TV this morning. Let's start with our most Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's) based on this morning's show:
-Yes, Tree Boy is very tall.
-No, we are never awake canning before 7 a.m.
-Yes, Karen is capable of appearing on live television without speaking. (You have to see it to believe it.)
-Yes, we really did pickle okra.
More importantly, do we really live the 100-mile diet? Yes, we do. We enjoy visiting local farmers' markets, participating in a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program and visiting farms in the area. We can, store, dry and freeze enough produce to last us through the winter. Today you saw one of our favorite items to can - tomatoes.
If you are interested in more information about how to can your summer bounty, please leave a comment on our blog or visit National Center for Home Food Preservation. You can get the specifics of how to can most common garden items at this website.
Trust us, you can do it.
