RE: The Making of a Homestead Pantry & Empowered Life
That is seriously so cool. I know that's a ton of work, making it even more of a beautiful sight! I'm still working through our orchard apples, too. And I'm happy to say I've also got my first batch of sauerkraut getting happy, as well. Thank you for being an inspiration to encourage people like me to do even just a little more to empower ourselves! #pantrygoals 😉
This is such a lovely comment @plantstoplanks, thank you. It warmed my heart to read it. What are you planning for your apples?
I do always enjoy your posts, so it makes it easy to write nice comments. :)
We have been working our way through the apples with lots of daily munching, but I've also been putting them in my cooking everywhere, haha! I made a slaw yesterday with kohlrabi, daikon and apple with some of the lemon balm that is starting to explode in our garden again. I do need to make a few more batches of applesauce to save for later as my boyfriend is already making it through what I had already made. He also likes a little bourbon in his tea on occasion during cold weather, so I have some apple peels infusing in a bottle of that for extra flavor. I've already made some apple muffins to pop in the freezer, but I may do a few more batches of those. I think that's most of what I have planned, but perhaps I'll come up with a few more things before the dwindling haul is totally gone. :)
my husband likes a drop or two of bourbon in his tea also (on occasion) I will have to try infusing some peels in one of his bottles - that sounds lovely and I would have never thought of it! The muffins would also be very practical. I am weaning my husband off sugar and trying to replace it with apple sauce and other naturally sweet things but he isn't easily converted. You've given me some more ideas - thank you!!
