How To Preserve Greens: Freezing, Canning, and Dehydrating

Yesterday evening, my husband came home loaded down with mixed greens the neighbor blessed him with on his way up the driveway.

Turnip greens. Mustard greens. And other “mixed” greens, whatever that means.

I’m not a huge fan of greens. I’d never even heard of “greens” before moving to the south! But Jerry likes them. And they are really good for you.

So, today, I’ll be putting up this big box of greens which is currently overcrowding my countertop. I’d hate to let it go to waste!

I’m a little nervous about canning them. Not sure what canned greens will taste like. But heck, I’ll give it a try! I’m also gonna try dehydrating them as well.

I found a really good article on how to preserve greens by either freezing them, canning them, or drying them:Three Ways To Preserve Greens. I figured I’d just point you their way for now, until I’ve tried it myself!

I’d love to know how you guys preserve your greens! Do canned greens taste okay? What’s your favorite way to prepare them?
