  • Fruit: dehydrate, freeze, or alcoholic fermentantion. Some fruit have special methods, like sulphured apples or bletted medlars.

    Vegetables: easiest thing is to pack in brine of 3Tbl per Qt, leave at room temperature or a little cooler for a week before eating. I alway throw in some onion and garlic because I like it that way. Lasts like 6 months at room temperature. Most vegetables have additional special traditional preservation methods, but that fermented pickle in brine works for pretty much all of them.

    If you want to be more specific with which foods you need to preserve, I can provide more options.

    I’m writing a book on food preservation, ama.




  • There has definitely been a renaissance of old school forums since social media started to decline. One advantage to them ia that to bother registering and tracking a separate website for one topic, you’d have to be pretty interested in that topic. So the tiny barrier to entry seems like it promotes deeper discussion and higher quality responses.

    Simultaneously, some really cool new forum software has become available with useful and elegant features that the old forums didn’t have, but without the attention traps and monetization of the corporate web.

    If you have a hobby, look for a forum; you might be surprised at how may have sprung up.
