Hey you guys, it's Carolyn from homesteading family. Now I've been preserving food for almost two decades,

and there are times I wish I could go back to my younger self and tell her what I now know. I wasted so many

hours sweating over hot canners and using untested recipes that resulted in wasted food. But while I can't go back in time, I can share

what I've learned over the years with you guys. So I'm hosting a free live online training

coming up on Thursday, June 19th, all about preserving. I'm sharing the lessons I wish I'd learn sooner, how to decide which preserving methods

to use when, and the basic steps to my top seven methods, and what you can do right now

to increase your food security.

So register now at homesteadingfamily.com forward slash podcast

dash live training. That's all one word. Now don't worry if you can't actually make it to the

live event, remember, it's online. You don't have to show up in person. But if you can't make it

even online on Thursday, June 19th, there will be a replay,

but you do have to be registered for this free event even to get access to the replay.

Hey, I'm Carolyn with Homesteading family and welcome to this week's edition of the pantry chat,

Food for Thought.

This week, I am all alone.

No, Josh, he's actually traveling.

He is right now in Tennessee doing some work on our super secret

special project in conjunction with Anne of all trades. If you guys don't know her, you should go

check her out. She is amazing, absolutely amazing and does so many wonderful things. But this week, we are going to be

talking about something that I'm really excited about, and that is fermentation for preservation,

not just for eating good food that has been sitting in your refrigerator for a few weeks
