Black Berry Season
The Superfood
It's black berry season and my garden vines are producing such amazing fruit! The black berry vines are adequately hydrated, pruned in December, exposed to sunlight, and draped on trellises. The fruit is organic that burst in flavor that can liven-up any recipe. My family's favorite is black berry chutney and fresh black berries for snacks. Black berries are a superfood whereas they contain vitamins, fiber, minerals, and antioxidants. My most recent canning projects consists of canning pickled napoles/prickly pear cactus with Vidalia onions, garlic, carrots, and jalapeno peppers.
Canning fresh produce has always been a favorite, for I learned this art from my mother. She was raised in the hills of Virginia in 1932, where her parents raised 10 adorable children. Preserving food is security, economical, thrifty, and enjoyable. Preserving specific food that may be unique or rare to find provide longer access to that food. It's a wise skill whether one's preserving food by dehydration, air drying with a cord or string, freezing, or canning.
