Hi Achternaam, Since it’s feeling a lot like spring these days, I thought I’d make today’s email focus on some seasonal articles for you. So let’s dive right into it! 😁 Strawberry Season is Just Around the Corner! Strawberries are one of the first berries of the season to ripen and they’re oh, so good…but also highly perishable. Thankfully, there are lots of recipes for preserving and using this favorite fruit. Find Strawberry Recipes here. See Pineapples at the Grocery Store? ‘tis also the season for some types of fruit at the grocery store, including pineapple! The quality of home canned pineapple is fantastic. Whether you’ve found a great deal at the store or harvested a homegrown crop (lucky you!), here are some beginner-friendly instructions on how to can fresh pineapple—starting with chunks, plus a quick look at slices and crushed pineapple too. Learn about Canning Pineapple here. Don’t Buy Bags of Frozen Asparagus! Find a local farmer and stock up on asparagus (in peak season right now) and then freeze it yourself. Hint: Freezing preserves its texture way better than canning. 😉 Learn How to Freeze Asparagus here. Want to Can More Food This Year? It starts with knowing how to can! My Canning Basics Course will teach you canning equipment, methods, and how it all works. Includes a full guide and printable recipes, making it great for beginners.
