While the heat and drought have paid a toll on leafy crops, the summer crops are thriving. This week we are going heavy on the night shade family. We have plenty of peppers, tomatoes, potatoes and eggplant. For those of you interested in canning/preserving, we are offering a special on sweet banana peppers (9 peppers for $3, +/- 2lbs). Every year, we ferment lots of them using this recipe. We put them on everything, from salads to sandwiches. They are delicious and heavy on probiotics. They are also wonderful pickled and are very easy to can. We usually can quite a bit of it too for our own consumption and for Christmas presents. We are not including banana peppers on the regular shares but they are available as extras. Happy canning and blessings from the homestead.
