About this episode

This episode covers various methods for preserving summer harvests to enjoy year-round.

Hey Neighbor! The garden is flourishing and we are enjoying all the fresh produce, but what happens when you can't eat it fast enough? Tonight, we’re walking through how to preserve your summer harvest so you can enjoy the fruits of your labor year round. From corn and beans to tomatoes, cucumbers, and more, each crop has a best method for preserving flavor, texture, and nutrition. We cover freezing, pressure canning, dehydrating, pickling, and even fermenting so you can choose the right approach for your harvest. Learn why low-acid vegetables like corn and green beans require pressure canning, how easy it is to freeze peppers and tomatoes, and the best ways to turn cucumbers into pickles or berries into jams and freezer staples. Whether you’re stocking the freezer, filling the pantry, or trying to reduce waste, these simple methods will help you make the most of every harvest. If your garden is producing more than you can keep up with, this is what you should be doing. Let’s put that harvest to work.
