I canned my tomato soup (different than campbells, it's gluten and dairy free and not a concentrate,) pasta and pizza sauce, and a chunky green salsa from the garden. I'm afraid that is about all I'll get from there. I froze peaches, some rhubarb, and strawberry freezer jam. Without having the land to grow a good garden on yet, but living next to a national forest, I still forage for a lot of my food.
Miatake, honey, oyster, and some turkey tail mushrooms were all added to the panty this week. <3
My wild ramp and garlic cooking wine from this spring came out excellent, and the cranberry (purchased on sale after thanksgiving) and black raspberry wine from last fall is lovely and ready to bottle. I didn't find many berries this year, but I should have enough to do a mixed berry and wild grape wine.
I guess I still have to can a cornelian cherry (cornus mas) jam for my daughter, and after that, we'll gather chestnuts and hickories, and a few ginko nuts. I'd really like some sassafras roots if I'm lucky enough to get out that way before snow sets in.
A lot of what we bring home amount luxury foods instead of staple calories, I suppose, but it sure saves me money at the grocery store, and probably at the Dr's office too.
