Thanks. There’s a great deal of satisfaction looking at those jars. Seems like canning is a dying art.

Maybe not for long, though, if times get tough.

See post 5856 above, for information on finding food to can.

I think that the rice shortage, last spring woke up a lot of folks, they came out in droves, wanting to learn how to survive and get by on just a little.

I am glad you can can, have you tried making your own dehydrated foods?

That also works well and is easy to store.

One year, I did what felt like a ton of squash and it works fine to throw into a pot of soup, lasted for several years.

You have earned the right to feel proud.
