Bountiful Harvest – Make your own Groceries
One of the best ways to save money is to make your own groceries. Chances are, if you look in your own cupboards or pantry right now you have a few factory canned items such as tomatoes, jams or jellies and canned fruit. Not only are these items heavily laden with salt and sugar, but they are also so over-processed they no longer have decent flavor. Here are several of my favorite home canning recipes, step by step, with photographs.
 | MYO: Watermelon Rind Pickles– these delightful pickles taste a bit like cinnamon apples, so much so that my son didn’t believe me when I told him they were made from a watermelon! |
