What is the best way to preserve my tomatoes?

Posted by admin on February 23rd, 2010 and filed under the preserve | 6 Comments »

I have an abundance of tomatoes from my garden and would to to keep them over the winter. What is the best way to preserve them. Do I boil them and then take off the skins and then freeze them?

If you’ve never home canned before, dehydrating or freezing is definitely the way to preserve tomatoes safely.

Be sure you first check the tomatoes for signs of decay, rot, or bug infestations. If they look fine, the tomatoes can be prepared for freezing. This is done dunking them in boiling water for 20 seconds, then slipping off the skin before placing in a freezer container.

What I do to save on freezer space is to sauce a big batch of tomatoes, along with onions, green peppers, and Italian seasonings. The veggies are cooked for about 4 hours, pureed, then ladled into freezer containers (available at grocery stores). During the winter, the tomato puree is added to soups or turned into homemade marinara sauce.

At the end of the growing season, you can pick any unripened tomatoes and wrap them individually in newspaper. Over the next 6 weeks, the tomatoes will slowly ripen.

What is the best way to preserve fresh olives ripe from the tree?

Posted by admin on February 21st, 2010 and filed under the preserve | 1 Comment »

I have just cut about 2kg of olives. They are are a bit bitter in taste but the olive flavour of these fresh olives is just sublime. How should I preserve them so that I can use them later?

A strong brine solution, that is the way the Italian people do there’s, this done for 2 weeks, the brine solution (50% salt to water)drained off and then a light solution (20%) applied, at this time you can add things like bayleaves, garlic, hot peppers, fennel seeds or vinegar.

After that period, it should last another 1 week, you can jar them up, preferable in snap top sealing jars, they can be left at room temparture, chilling for serving purposes.

How can I preserve an arrowhead in acrylic?

Posted by admin on February 19th, 2010 and filed under the preserve | 3 Comments »

I asked this question before. I don’t want to know that this isn’t the best way to preserve it or that rocks don’t need preserved. This is for my child who would break it if it wasn’t put in acrylic. If you can’t answer, please don’t bother. I’ll try a new category under parenting. I think parents will understand better than geologists.

Hobby Lobby, and pretty much any craft place, would probably have what you need. Basically it is a pour-in acrylic resin, and it describes the process very well on the container. It is usually in the woodworking or decoupage areas of the store. When I have done it, I place resin in the small container I plan to use as a cast for the resin, filling it about halfway. I then place the flat object (in your case, the arrowhead) in the container, then gently pour in the rest of the acrylic to the top of the container which is then removed. What you are left with is an object suspended in acrylic. I hope this is what you are looking to do!

What is the best way to preserve newpapers?

Posted by admin on February 17th, 2010 and filed under the preserve | 2 Comments »

I have the Chicago Tribune and Sun Times from the day after the election. I would like to preserve them as much as possible. What is the best way to do this?

Depends on just how perfectly you want to preserve it and your budget for doing so.

Simply storing it in a dark, environment between 60 to 70° F and between 40 to 50 percent relative humidity will slow the rate of deterioration. The attic (gets hot), basement (gets damp), or garage (both) are not good — a central location in the home is usually best.

Also important is to store them flat and in contact with stuff that won’t add to the deterioration — a chemical change or “acid migration” can happen to papers touching each other. To keep this from happening, the quality of storage folder and/or box is important, and materials within the folder and/or box should be interleaved with "permanent quality" paper. These (acid-free archival folders, boxes, and paper) can all be found at office supply stores, but you may have to ask for them to be ordered.

Newspaper can also be protected by encapsulation (developed and tested by the Library of Congress to protect fragile and brittle papers) or in plastic sleeves. It involves putting the sheets between two clear sheets of a polyester film and sealing the edges of the film to itself (not to the paper) either with a double-stick tape, or by melting it (of course, you have to be careful going that route). Safe plastics for this include pure polyester, polypropylene and polyethylene, which have no additives or surface coatings that can harm the paper over time. However, even papers that are encapsulated or placed in plastic sleeves will generate acidic gases that will be trapped inside the envelope and cause deterioration. There is an additional procedure that can chemically stabilize the acidic gases (called deacidification), but I doubt you want to go that extent of trouble and expense.

Congaree Bluffs Heritage Preserve

Posted by admin on February 16th, 2010 and filed under the preserve | No Comments »

The Congaree Bluffs Heritage Preserve comprises 201 acres and contains steep, undisturbed bluffs bordering the Congaree River. Located in Calhoun County, the preserve harbors significant stands of American beech, oak-hickory and bottomland hardwood forest. No comparable sites exist in the coastal plain of South Carolina. There are several other sites nearby on private lands, but these areas, along with the preserve, are unique. Similar systems in and around the Florida Panhandle have been documented to have the greatest number of trees per unit area within the temperate forest of the eastern United States. More than 100 species of trees, shrubs and woody vines exist in the preserve from the ridge base to the crest of the bluffs. Woody plants may number 200 species.
