Italian Capsicums






I'm really in love with my food dryer, and I had a kilo of capsicums sitting in my fridge that I picked up from Aldi last Saturday. They had kept really well, so I decided to dry them for 8 hours in my food dryer, and stuff them in a few sterilised jars with the following:-

1/4 tsp granulated garlic
1/4 tsp dried rosemary
about 1 1/2 cups olive oil, until the jar was full, and covered the dried capsicums.

Stick the jars in the fridge, and they should keep for up to 6 months.

Use in pasta sauce, in pizzas, sauces, or as an antipasto with feta cheese, olives and whatever else pickles your fancy.

Welcome

Well, this is my trial blog. Just a test really to see if I can set one up, before I start my big food storage rampage. So excited, it's just around the corner to go out on a limb and start all by myself, firstly by ordering a food sealing machine, then to organise some storage space while I save up for Mylar bags and oxygen absorbers. Then I can really get stuck into updating my food storage. Can't wait!
