High sugar foods do well for a long time, too.<br /><br />I've just re-discovered some 11-year old raspberry syrup I'm going to break out soon. It will either a) be great on pancakes, b) have fermented and get me drunk, or, c) kill me. Whichever way, I still love raspberry syrup.Weetabixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06106614092497408546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32278169577563552.post-26247272490191545552010-09-28T18:33:55.905-04:002010-09-28T18:33:55.905-04:00I grow a lot of tomatillos, and I just freeze them...I grow a lot of tomatillos, and I just freeze them and make salsa during the winter months by thawing out a few as needed.<br />By the way; if you leave a few on the plant at the season's end, you won't have to plant them the next year. I've had volunteers for over five years now, and the only thing I have to do in the spring is thin them out so they don't turn into a jungle. When I was a kid, we used to find them growing wild in vacant lots and eat the ripe fruit.BobGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15405172215849046373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32278169577563552.post-91189019474823502482010-09-28T13:17:09.186-04:002010-09-28T13:17:09.186-04:00I don't can much as I have a black thumb, but ...I don't can much as I have a black thumb, but if the produce makes it onto the kitchen counter, I'll do something with it.

She has never, in all the years she's done it, had a problem with preserving any nasty bugs or had anything she's canned go bad. If you're reasonably careful and pay even minimal attention in the process, you shouldn't either. The salsa looks yummy! :)NYEMThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08376647828923494384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32278169577563552.post-19815670334753805242010-09-27T14:07:04.886-04:002010-09-27T14:07:04.886-04:00Good!
