Usually when recommending gifts for gardeners, I suggest tools, gloves or seeds but any good edible gardener knows that you need the right equipment to process what you grow.
Think about food-related garden gifts like tomato strainers, herb-keepers and cherry pitters.
- Strainers can process not only tomatoes, but other fruits and veggies into seed-free sauce perfect for cooking, canning and freezing.
- A glass herb-keeper to keep herbs fresh and give your favorite gardener a mechanical cherry-pitter to save lots of time pitting the fruits by hand.
- Make-Your-Own Kits for crafting everything from mustards, pickles, fermented vegetables, to hot sauces. Plus, they make for a fun project to do with loved ones over the holidays.
And now for this week's tip: Keep garlic bulbs covered under an upside down clay pot in the kitchen to prevent them from drying out.
