Plum Juice

Growing food in our garden is not only healthy but also gives a sense of pride and accomplishment.

It is August and we are blessed with aboundance of harvest this year.

Processing and preserving food from own garden is a privilege.

I am so thankful and so blessed to have the freedom and opportunity to experience and to practice it.

It offers joy and quality life for a healthy living.

I enjoy conserving my garden harvest, especially that my husband and my ever curious girl are always on the go to help me. It is worth an effort.

To store and preserve food, it is important to use sterile utensils and containers to ensure that the processed food will not spoil or get molds.
