Vegetables and Fruits to Store and Use

​

The Home Storage center offers dried onions, apples, carrots. Very useful in food storage recipes. 

I desire to keep 'extras' on the minimal side without sacrificing taste, variety, and nutrition. Best to store vegetables and fruits in several different ways aside from using fresh. Such as: frozen, canned, home-bottled, dried, and freeze dried.

You might wish to store/use several kinds of frozen vegetables and fruits, but freezer storage time is limited to about one year, so it's smart to have other ways with longer storage times. Look for sales when buying frozen. Watch for case lot sales for lowest price possible buying canned items. Find best prices and sales on #10 cans of dried and FD items. Decide on what to home bottle if this is a skill you either have or want to learn. Vegetables must be processed in a pressure canner, not water bath method.

Using Tomato Powder:

 

Caution: tomato powders vary in intensity of acid/flavor, so start low and add more if needed....

​

​

​

Tomato Paste: equal parts of water and tomato powder, 

such as up to 1 T. tomato powder + 1 T. water = 1 T. tomato paste

​

​

Tomato Sauce: 1 c. water + 3 T. tomato powder

​

​

Tomato Juice: 10 oz. water + 1 T. tomato powder
