I too, would love a cellar. The cottages opposite sit on a hill, and do have lovely cellars... Aah well!Decaff wrote:jansman wrote:Anyhow, back on topic. After this cup of tea, I am processing my second food source. Runner beans ( salted) tomatoes ( chopped and frozen) and shallots for pickling. We have a proper walk- in pantry here, which I have restocked this morning from our 'bunker' as we call it. It is an insulated brick outbuilding, where we keep the freezers and tinned and dry foodstuffs. I keep a clipboard on the back of the door to make a note of what to replace. That is the first source of food sorted.
Oh I have pantry envymy wish list for a house is open fires or wood burner, pantry, cellar, garden that has room to grow veg, an attic... Ooohhhh I hope my wish happens one day

Have you ever water bathed tomatoes in jars??
And no, I have never bottled tomatoes. It is something I would love to learn.
