Sometimes "Old" Tricks are Best

I read online somewhere about reviving wilted carrots.  The hint was to remove the tops of the carrots and place them in a baggie with ice cold water, seal the bag, and pop it into the fridge overnight.  Guess what?  It works GREAT!

It's Fall, time to pull out all of my veggie garden that isn't being over-wintered.  Some of the items left were carrots, and silly me forgot to put them in the fridge right after cleaning and they got limp.  I followed the advice and I now have crunchy carrots once again.

My garden is a lot of work, but I just can't beat tomatoes fresh off the vine, fresh lettuce, beans, peas, etc...  Fresh is always best, and since I grow most of my own, I know what's been put on/in the plants and get the best results from canning.  Now that I know how to revive carrots, I'm going to need to learn how to can them too.
