Preserving Peaches (Without Sugar) | Real Food Outlaws. By I am a firm believer in eating organically, locally and in season. To me, preserving the summer bounty extends the season and the fruits of the farmer’s labor. This is only my second year canning. I’ve dabbled through the years in jams and applesauce but have really gotten into it these last two years. Some tips before we get started: I don’t like using sugar when I can do without it. I get beautiful no-spray peaches from my local farmer at $25 for a 25 lb box. Okay. What you’ll need: Peaches Freshly squeezed lemon juice (Figure on 1 teaspoon per jar) Honey Water Large measuring cup or bowl Paring knife, cutting board, vegetable peeler Ball jars, lids, and rings Canning tools, tongs, magnet, etc.
Start out with ripe, just soft to the touch peaches. Peel the peaches with whichever method you are most comfortable with. Slice peaches into about 1/4 inches thick slices. Ahem! When all the jars are full add 1 teaspoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice to each jar to preserve color. Voila! Enjoy! The Beat Goes On - Martha Stewart Holidays. Pinecone Picture-Frame Ornaments - Martha Stewart Holiday & Seasonal Crafts. DIY Braided Bead Bracelet - Honestly WTF. It’s been awhile since our last bracelet DIY.
I don’t know about you, but our wrists have been begging for another colorful addition for months now. So after playing with some materials that were already on hand, we’ve created a tutorial for a braided bead bracelet, which is a not so distant cousin of the hex nut and wrap bracelet. Because honestly, you can never have too many . . . You’ll need: Cut the waxed linen cord into a 26″ and 19″ piece. Tie a knot about half an inch down from the loops.
Start braiding the strands. Push the bead against the base of the braid, and cross the left strand over the middle. Keep a finger at the base of the braid, holding the beads in their place and keeping the braid tight. Finish the bracelet with another inch of braided cord, measuring it against the wrist. Thread on a two hole button – two strands through one hole and one strand through another. Trim the end. Your bracelet is finished! (all images by HonestlyWTF) How to cut glass. I posted a picture about 1 week ago on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter of me cutting glass using just string. I got LOT’S of requests for a tutorial on how I DID THIS! So here it is. FINALLY! You will be able to learn how to cut glass. I want to warn you. It’s best to triple your yarn because it will burn longer! Soak it GOOD! I like to tie my yarn where I want my glass to “cut” then quickly pour polish remover over the string again.
Get a big bowl with ice and water ready. VERY IMPORTANT! Slowly turn your bottle. You can’t let the flame go OUT then dunk it in the ice water. YAY!!! I reallly hope you enjoyed this tutorial because I had ALOT of requests for it! © Copyright jaderbombllc, All rights Reserved. A Useful Re-use of Plastic Bottle Caps.
