In an effort to continually minimize our ever increasing grocery bill, I am looking to get even more out of our garden. Right now, I'm on a mission to find medium-term storage "snack" solutions. By medium-term, I mean something that will last in storage until I the next growing season. By "snacks", I mean between meal, grab-a-handful, bag-o-chips replacements.
As an example: right now I can a lot of pickles. They store well for a year or more. They also are great as a "side" to a meal, and the occasional snack. But, you can only eat so many pickles.
I have also played with the dehydrator, drying banana chips and apple chips. But, I have to buy those.
So, any ideas on what I could be growing in the garden? Or, other sources, and other ways to process something into a "snack"?
