🍊It’s citrus season—and it’s the perfect time to fill your pantry! 🍋
If you missed it, I’ve already shared a step-by-step canning video using fresh winter citrus. This is one of my favorite winter pantry projects—bright flavors, budget-friendly fruit, and jars that bring a little sunshine to the shelf during the cold months.
✨ In this video:
• Preserving citrus at peak flavor
• Simple, classic canning methods
• Tips for avoiding bitterness
• Ideas for enjoying citrus all year long
If you’re focusing on thrifty homemaking, food preservation, and using what’s in season, this one’s for you.
