Homestead Blog Hop 408

Welcome to the Homestead Blog Hop!

Are you canning?

We have been doing some here and there. More this last week than the whole summer. I swore I would not be canning in the camper, but guess what? Yep! I am!

I’m not going out of my way to find stuff to can—just whatever garden produce we pick—so far I’ve put up I think 28 quarts of green beans, and 16 pints of salsa. Maybe a canner of tomato soup base too. Not a whole lot in the grand scheme of things, but little by little, we are getting a few. 😊

I learned a little about cayenne yesterday. It’s not hot when you slice it! 🌶 But it’s a slow burn that you can still feel the next day! I’ve heard that cayenne is an excellent fruit for circulation, and I’ve used it in a balm on my dad’s peripheral neuralgia. From what I feel, with the gentle burn still in effect the next day, it does seem helpful in bringing circulation to damaged extremities.

It’s fun to learn, as long as you don’t get burned! I may think about gloves next time, though! 😉

Homestead Blog Hop will take place every Wednesday and is for all things homesteading: real food recipes, farm animals, crafts, DIY, how-to’s, gardening, anything from-scratch, natural home/health, self-sufficiency, self-reliance, natural remedies, essential oils, & more! Basically anything related to homesteading.
