15 WAYS TO KEEP FOOD FRESH
Ever wonder about how to keep your fruits and veggies fresh? Whether you buy them in the store or grow them at home, it is no fun to see them deteriorate almost right before your eyes. I am always in search of ways to keep my fruits and vegetables at the peak of freshness for as long as possible, so when Hometalk approached me and asked if I would share my board on Keeping it Fresh I jumped at the chance. I knew this would be valuable to you, my readers, and it would also give you a chance to check out the great things going on at Hometalk if you haven’t already.

So glad you enjoyed the information!
I tend to just buy my fresh foods when I need it because I don’t want them to go bad! Or I just buy FROZEN! š

That’s a great plan and why I freeze so much of my fresh produce. Knowing how to keep what I have from the garden fresher also helps too!
You have a beautiful blog Shari, thanks for inviting me to join in for Foodie Friday, I look forward to it!

This is great Shari! I’m always looking for great ways to make my produce last longer. It’s always bought with the intention of being used up quickly but far too often it ends up sitting there in the rotter (that’s what I call the drawer in the fridge that has the word crisper on it.) Thanks for sharing. Going to make sure to pin these now so I have them handy.

Shari, YOU are the guru of preserving for sure! Being thrifty and frugal is as important with food as it is in a budget. I appreciate so much your post and all the effort you took to put it together. What a treasure this is. Thank you. Carrie, A Mother’s Shadow
Thanks Carrie, you are so sweet. I truly dislike wasting anything. Learning how to keep things fresh longer helps.
Shari,
I love your ideas for preserving food. I have tried the herbs in the ice which works great. I need to try to sun dry my tomatoes. We always have plenty.
Thanks for sharing!
Stumbling, pinning, tweeted.

Thanks Diane, I am so ready for fall and the end to the madness. It is always nice when everything is put up and tucked away for the year.
This is a great list, Shari. I especially love the tip for storing in glass jars and wish I had known this a long time ago. I also love your herb preservation post and am sharing it on my FB page today. Great post – pinning and sharing this one on Twitter.
