22.01.2022 Growing and Using Horseradish http://joybileefarm.com/horseradish-passover/ April 19, 2016 by Joybilee Farm I nibbled a horseradish leaf yesterday. It started innocently enough. There really isn’t that much up in my garden, it being just the middle of April. 2 weeks ago my garden was still covered with snow. But this week we’ve had some warm 70F weather, and the dandelion greens and rhubarb are vibrant. The curly, feathering leaves of horseradish were just starting to ...Continue reading

20.01.2022 Nettle Tea Three Ways http://joybileefarm.com/nettle-tea/ April 5, 2016 by Joybilee Farm Culpepper says that stinging nettles need no introduction.

The stinging nettle has tiny hollow hairs covering the surface of every leaf and going up the stems. Even the flowers and seeds are covered in these tiny hairs. And when someone brushes up aga...Continue reading

15.01.2022 Preserving Parsley for Food and Medicine By Homespun Seasonal Living http://homespunseasonalliving.com/preserving-parsley-for-f/ Parsley is one of those things many of us are used to seeing, eating, and possibly growing. It seems to be the most common garnish at restaurants and in many homemade dishes. Parsley can be so much more than just a garnish, however. It is a powerhouse of an herb that deserves a spot on spice racks and in medicine cabinets alike. Thankfully preserv...ing parsley for food and medicine is quick and easy. The Benefits of Parsley Parsley is chockfull of nutrition. It’s high in vitamin K, vitamin A, folate, iron, zinc and vitamin C. It’s tasty and adds a great depth of flavor to many dishes. The flat leaf supposedly has a stronger flavor than the curly leaf type but both are great so use what’s near. Parsley is high chlorophyll meaning it helps remove garlic and onion odors(that’s why it’s often on dinner plates). Parsley is a strong and safe diuretic helping to remove toxins from the body and helping relieve water retention. It can act as an histamine blocker providing relief to seasonal allergies or a runny nose. Parsley can help dry a mother’s milk during weaning as well. Preserving Parsley for Food and Medicine All of these methods require very little hands-on time but provide huge flavor ands medicinal punch. Dry It: Tie bundles of fresh parsley together and hang out of direct sunlight until crispy. Once completely dry, strip the leaves from the stems and store in an airtight container. Make a parsley tea by steeping 1 teaspoon of the dried leaves in 1 Cup of boiling water for 20 minutes, strain and enjoy. Drink the tea to get all the medicinal benefits discussed above. Infused Vinegar: Fill a jar 3/4 full with chopped parsley and cover with vinegar. Let steep for 1 month, strain and bottle the infused vinegar. Use the infused vinegar as a base for homemade vinaigrette, to flavor hot and sour soup, or anywhere you would use plain vinegar. Freeze It: Chop parsley finely and put a teaspoon into the compartments of ice cube trays. Fill with water and freeze until solid. Once frozen remove from trays and store cubes in containers. Melt the frozen cubes into soups, stews, casseroles, etc. for a hit of fresh flavor. A Word of Caution Unless specifically allergic to parsley, it is considered safe for anyone to eat in small quantities usually found in food. Drinking parsley tea can cause issue because of the concentrated levels. As mentioned above, it is used to dry mother’s milk, so breastfeeding women should avoid the tea until it is time to wean. Pregnant women should also avoid the tea. Make the most of the herb garden this summer by preserving parsley for food and medicine to last through the winter.

14.01.2022 Preserving Sage for Food and Medicine By Homespun Seasonal Living http://homespunseasonalliving.com/preserving-sage-for-food/ Sage often grows in abundance in many home gardens and has a multitude of culinary and medicinal benefits. Thankfully, preserving sage for food and medicine is relatively easy with very little hands-on time.... Dry Sage Simply cut the fresh sage, before it flowers, from the plant about an inch from the ground. Hang the herbs in bundles in a dry, dark place until crispy. Remove the leaves from the stems and store in air-tight containers. Infuse Honey Fill a jar half full with fresh leaves (1/4 full if using dried leaves), fill the jar leaving 1/4 headspace with liquid honey. Cover the jar with a tight-fitting lid and place in a sunny window for 1 month. Turn the jar over now and then, to move the herbs and honey around the jar to infuse fully. At the end of the month, strain the herbs from the honey and store the flavored honey in an airtight jar. Freeze Sage Chop the sage finely and place 1 2 teaspoons in each compartment of an ice cube tray. Fill the tray with water and freeze until solid. Remove from the tray and store in labeled containers. Infuse Vinegar Fill a jar 3/4 full with chopped, fresh sage (1/4 full with dried sage) and fill the jar with apple cider vinegar. Store the jar in a cool, dark cabinet for 1 month. A the end of the month, strain the herbs and put the infused vinegar in a clean airtight jar. Using Preserved Sage for Food Toss dried sage into soups, ground meats, eggs, and more for a flavorful addition. A bit of sage infused honey in herbed biscuits or cornbread provides a lightly sweet herb flavor. Add a sage ice cube to sautéed veggies and cook out the water for soups, casseroles, meatloaves, and anywhere else a hit of sage would be nice. Use sage infused vinegars as part of marinades, in salad dressings, etc. Using Preserved Sage for Medicine Sage has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antiviral properties. It helps calm sore throats and soothe frazzled nerves. Combine dried sage with chamomile for a soothing herbal tea at the end of a stressful day. Put the infused honey in herbal tea or a cup of hot water to help soothe a scratchy throat. Gargle with the infused vinegar to help with laryngitis and sore throats. Drink sage tea to help with hot flashes. Fill the spice rack and the medicine chest with preserved sage this summer’s abundance and keep your healthy and bellies full with tasty food all winter long.

04.01.2022 I have used the following recipe for years and years now. Once we are operating fully I will be teaching Soap Making. One that my family loved to bits, especially my mechanic minded husband easily removes oil and grease gently from hands and clothing. I hope that you give the following Homemade Laundry Powder a try. If you are in an area that has what is known as "Hard" water, then you may need to use a little more powder in your wash. Unlike commercial powders this one does ...not create a mass of foam. Infact you may see very little foam at all depending on the structure of your water. The Academy’s Homemade Laundry Powder by the Founder and owner of Academy of Alpha To Omega Homesteader inc. This laundry powder makes a large amount that should last a family of four well over six months, making it very economical. 1 container Borax 3 bars Laundry Soap 1 packet Washing Soda (found in the detergent section of the supermarket) Your favourite essential oil customize to scent (optional) 1 ten litre Bucket with a tight fitting lid (or an container/s that can be well sealed) Finely grate your soap bars. I just bought an old grater from the op shop specifically for this. Place the grated soap, borax and washing soda into your bucket and add the essential oil if using. Mix really well and place lid on. Tips: 1. The finer that you can grate your laundry soap, the quicker it will dissolve in your washing machine. 2. Adding a cup of vinegar to the rinse cycle of the wash cycle helps neutralize the soap residue left in fabrics from the wash cycle. 3. Homemade dry laundry powders are made to be used in warm or hot water, not cold. The powder will not dissolve properly and will not clean as well as they should if used in cold water. To Use: Add 2 rounded tablespoons to a normal wash load. If the clothes are particularly dirt as with men’s work clothes or extra dirty from gardening work, then add - cup of powder to the wash depending on just how dirty the clothes are.
