Juicer Favorites/Experiments gone Well

Extended Shelf Life: Apples, Grapes, Bok Choy, Carrots, Pomegranate

Since returning to Laramie, we opted to make a fairly grand purchase of an Omega J8500 Juicer and it has been revolutionary!

I'm confident you'll be seeing a lot of juicer related recipes popping up as we're discovering all kinds of uses for the appliance (if you're feeling a bit impatient and want to learn more now, check out this page about my experience with the Juicer).

For now, know that a combination of Apples, Grapes and Bok Choy is quite amazing!

Equally amazing is a combination of Apples, Carrots and Pomegranate.

Preserving the Harvest: Raisin Making

Extended Shelf Life: Grapes

One of the greatest joys of returning to our dumpster-diving Laramie life is the promise of home-dried raisins. When we discover grapes in abundance, our favorite thing to do is to wash and prepare them for the dehydrator and letting them go for 3-4 days until they are perfectly dried, juicy and fantastically delicious.

If you have an abundance of grapes and a dehydrator, you will not regret home-drying your own raisins.
