Freeze drying is a process that has been used since the 15th century but became popular when astronauts needed food for space missions. The food is frozen to about -40 C and then the water is removed from the food using a vacuum. This allows the moisture to skip the liquid stage and be extracted as a vapour. The process takes about 24 hours in a home freeze dryer and the resulting product can be stored in oxygen and light proof sealed mylar bags or vacuum sealed canning jars with an oxygen absorber. Food prepared in this way is said to retain close to 97% of original nutrients, can be stored for up to 35 years and is re-constituted using water an hour or two prior to being consumed. Meat, dairy, fruits and vegetables all freeze dry well. If you have questions, contact Barb at 204-886-3029. July 21, 2017 Mid-Summer Update....
The 4000 strawberries that we planted this spring are busy growing and getting ready to produce beautiful berries for the summer of 2018. Asparagus did well and we expect a decent crop again next summer. If you would like frozen or freeze-dried asparagus, call the farm line at 201-886-3472. Saskatoons were not plentiful this year. Perhaps next summer. Cherries and black currants are ripe and ready to be picked, raspberries are at the beginning of their season. We also have over 1000 small square hay bales that will make some horses very happy this winter. Grandpa is here for a few weeks helping with maintenance. The baba buggy (people moving wagon) has been repaired and painted a fresh white so we will be able to transport you, your baba and all your berries to and from the fields. |

Sour Cherries:
Sour Cherry Jam
Ingredients
Sour Cherry Jam
Ingredients
- 6 cups pitted sour cherries
- 2.5 cups sugar
- Prepare a boiling water bath and 3 - 250 ml jars. Place the lids in a small saucepan, cover them with water, and simmer over very low heat.
- Stir together cherries and sugar in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Boil rapidly for 20-40 minutes (time will depend on the size of pot, etc), until it passes the wrinkle test*.
- Remove the pot from the heat and ladle the jam into the prepared jars. Wipe the rims, apply the lids and rings, and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes. Or put into jars/tupperware and freeze for up to 6 months.
- Turn off canner, then carefully lift jars out and set on a towel on the counter to cool. Let sit 24 hours, then check that all have sealed. Label and store in a cool place.
