The last few years I have kept a record of the food I have preserved throughout the year.
I love to look back at what I have squirreled away and see the comparison from year to year. Sometimes Ill try a new recipe and we devour it... so I love the prompt to make it again. Other times Ill make something that isnt a hit and I know we can delete that from the recipe list.
Here is what made it into a jar (or freezer) in 2024 -
In the jars -
5 x Roasted Tomatoes (Size 20)
3 x Chilli Jam
10 x Apricot Jam
3 x Mulberry / Strawberry Jam
3 x Apricot Chutney
9 x Peaches in light syrup (pints)
9 x Plum Jam
6 x Sweet Chilli Sauce
2 x plums in light syrup (size 27)
4 x Peach Salsa
12 x Stewed Apple
3 x Onion Jam
4 x Beetroot Relish
I love to freeze in plastic butter containers - they make the perfect brick size for using in a recipe and they stack well in the freezer too.
In the freezer was -
4 x Marinara Sauce
9 x Roasted tomatoes and garlic.
7 x 400g bags of shredded zucchini
2 x large bags of green beans
2 bags of chopped capsicum - some diced - some strips
3 x stewed apricot
3 x stewed peach
large bag of Dehydrated apple
4 x stewed nectarine
5 x thai chilli sauce
2 x kilos of dried sultanas
