Freezing

Freezing fresh produce is one of the best ways to preserve it for the winter, and it’s a method I rely on heavily as a home gardener.

After over 10 years of gardening and years of experience working with local farms and farmers’ markets, I’ve learned that freezing is a simple, reliable way to keep your harvest fresh and ready to use when you need it most. Whether you’re reducing waste, stocking up on summer produce, or wanting to control the quality of your ingredients, these freezing recipes offer an easy solution.

If you’ve ever wondered how to freeze berries without the mess, I’ve got you covered with this easy guide for freezing berries.

You can also preserve your fresh basil by freezing basil in olive oil, which makes it so much easier to use in the winter.

For those who love a bit of spice, freezing jalapeños ensures you’ll have them on hand whenever you need a fiery kick in your dishes.

Freezing is a great way to extend the life of your favorite fruits and vegetables, and with these easy techniques, you can enjoy the flavors of summer throughout the colder months.

Hi, I'm Rachael!

I’m a self-taught home cook, gardener, and former farmers’ market manager who loves slow, seasonal living.

My kitchen is always full of baskets of seasonal produce, cookies cooling, and the next batch of jars ready for the canner. It’s a little messy and definitely chaotic, but always creative, delicious, and full of fun.

No shortcuts, no canned cream-of-anything soups; just real food, old-fashioned skills, and a little inspiration to bring the seasons into your own kitchen.
