The refreshing rains and warm sunny days of summer have prodded the plants in the garden to bloom and grow. Let’s be sure to put up some of that produce for a winter day. The best way to taste summer in the cold of winter is to open a bottle of home grown and canned produce! We show gratitude to the Lord when we make the best possible use of what He gives to us, and that includes our gardens. If you have extra, you can always share with a neighbor or someone who did not get a garden in. President Brigham Young suggested we should be grateful for wheat, corn, and vegetables rather than gold and silver. Summer canning and freezing is a great way to further our preparedness.

LOL, I am one who needs a map to get to the end of my driveway sometimes! Anyway, I LOVE the idea of the everlasting yeast. To use it, do I just use this for the amount of liquid called for in a recipe? I really want to try this. You should see how much yeast I go through!
ReplyDeleteIn response to the question about the everlasting yeast - yes, I would use the liquid as the recipe amount of liquid, keeping in mind you are also using some flour. You would need to adjust your flour accordingly. I have used this in bread and never really measure flour - just go according to the texture of the dough.
