Of course, visits to pick up orders are welcome by appointment; we are located in western Shelby County about 30 minutes from downtown Louisville. Don’t trust GPS or Google maps, though!
would like some info on an easy way to preserve food, i.e., tomatoes?
Bill, hummm, preserving tomatoes without much fuss. Rough cutting and dropping into freezer bags is the easiest, of course, if you have the freezer space.
I also do traditional hot water bath canning but it is a bot more of a production.
I also dehydrate….shelf stable for ever! If you do not have a dehydrator than try using the interior of your car. On a sunny, warm day point twords the sun, put thinly sliced tomatoes on parchment paper-lined cookie sheet, put cookie sheet on the dash and roll up the window! An audience member from the Louisville Free Public library taught me that one.
I also make Sofregit, a Spanish condiment great with bread, eggs, anything. Super simple just takes a while. In a stock pot saute diced onion in oil for a few minutes add choped tomatoes and simmer for as long as you can stand. Yes, there is only onion, oil and tomatoes and a little kosher salt. It cooks down to this amazingly sweet savory thick stuff! I freeze it in little containers.
Hope this gives you some ideas. Jeneen
