Cooking seasonally is a good way of reducing food waste. Apples are very much in season now, so this can be a good time to make mincemeat. 

Surplus cabbage and root vegetables lend themselves to being turned into sauerkraut which is good for our gut biome and can be a handy part of a salad or – if heated – main meal.

Whilst harvest is often celebrated in September, harvesting is ongoing throughout summer and autumn. To provide for the winter months, fruits and vegetables as they are harvested, can be preserved as jams, chutneys and pickles or they can be bottled. All these methods of preservation don’t need a freezer or fridge. Follow this link for chutney-making and other  preserves https://greentau.org/tag/chutney/

With a glut of apples, this can also be a good time to make mincemeat ready for Christmas. Find a recipe here – https://greentau.org/2021/09/09/count-down-47/
