Processing the harvest into food

Yes, I admit it. We cone a lot of harvest straight from the garden. A young carrot from the fist or a ripe juicy hand pear that is within reach ...

But if we want to enjoy our harvest from the vegetable garden for a long, very long time, it can be very interesting to learn how to preserve your harvest. In the harvest processing section of our Pickers site you will find some simple techniques to preserve your harvest.

You won't believe your eyes, ears, nose and taste buds when you open a bottle of tomato sauce during the winter months.

There are several techniques to preserve your harvest for a later time. For example, you can easily freeze your leek to make soup later. I dry my Cayenne peppers every year to make chili flakes. But you can also ferment, sterilize, pickle or simply store in a cold shed in a container.
