Foggy Mountain Farm and Musings From My Life

Introducing The Carnival of Home Preserving!

Taken from this post at Laura Williams' Musings (my other blog)

I searched and searched at Blog Carnival but did not find a carnival specifically geared toward Home Preserving Methods (canning, freezing, dehydrating, root cellaring).

Home Canning and a few of the others are becoming a dying lot of skills. Canning used to be a standard thing to do come harvest time with gardeners. Now the families are smaller for many people and thus their gardens have shrunk and home preserving skills is going by the wayside. It doesn't have to be that way.

So I decided to create my own carnival and invite others to join in. I'll host the first one and will ask for volunteers to host future ones.

So pass the word around to your bloggy friends (feel free to link to this post) and let's get these old time skills revived!!

Carnival Info: This is going to be A Carnival to Share Recipes and How-To's for Canning, Freezing, Dehydrating (drying), and Root Cellaring of Fruits, Vegetables, and Herbs.

Submission guidelines: Your post should be about one of the four methods of preserving food at home. You can share a tip, a recipe, or whatever you like that involves Canning, Freezing, Dehydrating (drying), or Root Cellaring of Fruits, Vegetables, and Herbs.

Carnival is to be posted by that Monday on the respective Host's blog. First one to be held at: Laura Williams' Musings

Just discovered my blog went missing.

I had neglected it because of lack of time, and just came back to discover it basically gone. All my entries, recipes, etc. gone capoot. At least my friends list is/was still here.

Not sure how often I can keep this thing updated, but I'll give it a shot.
