My preserving update.. so far

This morning on the way home from my walk I managed to gather another bag of rosehips. After my second walk and a cuppa with a friend I set to and have made another batch of rosehip syrup. Then I bottled up some date vinegar and set another batch to ferment. Next I gathered a pile of windfall apples from my garden and have started a large jar of lacto fermented apples. Now I am sitting down with a well earned cup of tea and a browse through some of my favourite blogs. I have taken a little tally of my preserving so far and was amazed at just how much I have made for virtually free.

Lacto fermented cauliflower

One jar of lacto fermented apples.Two jars of Sauerkraut. One jar of lacto fermented cauliflower and six bottles of rosehip syrup. In my fridge there are two jars of pickled watermelon rind, a jar of rosehip syrup, a jar of elderberry syrup and a jar of  lacto fermented runner beans. The lavender will be used to make a small jar of lavender sugar to sprinkle on pancakes and porridge

Two jars of date vinegar and my Rumtopf filled with apple cider vinegar

Four jars of rhubarb and bramble jam, one jar of greengage jam, one jar of marmalade and one jar of strawberry jam. My only cost was sugar and my time
