Most Cultured Vegetable Cooking

We are so lucky with the abundance of vegetables everywhere, until now.

Since I was small, I saw that the most favorite, most bought, most cooked and most eaten vegetables are green leaves, tomatoes and beans. I used to jump at the back of the truck with my brothers so we can go with Dad to buy baskets and baskets of vegetables, particularly, shallots and tomatoes.

Then I would see my Dad cooked some of the vegetables in syrup and put them in bottles. I realized that was preserving vegetables so we don't run out out veggies during the winters. Today, I have seen how modernization has upstaged the old ways of preserving vegetables, fruits, the making of jellies and jams, and delicious fruit preserves.

I thought these plant-made vegetable preserves are the best, but I was wrong. The old-fashioned canning and preservation has still been considered the most preferred and most cultured process of cooking and preserving vegetables.

Eating crunchy and delicious vegetables has never been easier with my own garden which I call my greenhouse! ...and not just that, I also have enjoyed preserving veggies and fruits. I think this is my biggest share of green!
