Thanks for the tip.
Sauerkrout, eh? My parents used to make their own and it was so good. I’m so spoiled. Never learned how to make my own preserves or how to can food. I’m too afraid of botulism to even attempt it.
I taught myself how to make sauerkraut. Well worth it! As to the canning; I only can things that you can do in a water bath canner - Jams, pickles, relish, tomatoes, peaches, syrups, etc. I don’t have a pressure canner, and I’m not too confident about canning anything that needs pressure canning. I just freeze those things. Works well for my family. I’ve also started using my dehydrator for some things. Last year I dried Roma and Cherry tomatoes. Also dried apples. Delicious! Next, I want to learn to make cider vinegar!
