Things have been crazy around here like usual! We are trying to find a new normal while fitting in gardening and preserving in every waking moment it seems like. Then comes the editing of the week long video. This was actually a 2 hour, 45 minute video cut down to approximately 31 minutes. I want you to see what I do but I don't want to bore you to death. I hope you enjoy watching! I loved some of the new things I tried this week. I can't wait to get them on my shelves in the larder.

Here is the link to the pantry challenge. I did earlier this year so that you know what I was talking about in the front of the video…

Here are some links to recipes I used in this video...
Instant Hummus In A Jar Recipe:
Prep your chickpeas/garbanzo beans by soaking overnight. Alternatively you can bring your chickpeas to a boil for 2 minutes, turn off the heat, and allow them to sit for an hour. Drain off the water and rinse well. Add the chickpeas back to the pot with 1 quart of water per pound of chickpeas. For 6 pints you will need 1 pound of chickpeas. I did 12 pints, so I used 2 pounds of chickpeas. Divide the chickpeas evenly among hot, clean jars. Add in your flavorings as listed below, and top off with hot water to 1 inch of headspace. Debubble, adjust headspace, and add lids fingertip tight. Process pints in a pressure canner for 75 minutes.

To Serve:
Drain off some of the liquid and set it aside. Add the contents of the jar to a blender or food processor with 2 tbsp of olive oil. Add liquid until the desired consistency is reached. If you choose to omit the sesame seeds during canning, add 1/4 cup of toasted sesame seeds now or 2 tbsp tahini.
