I’ll have to start doing that.

I haven’t been doing this long other than loading up a deep freeze and making sure I have whatever I need to make anything we want for dinner.

I only started canning a couple years ago because I was too chicken to use a pressure canner and I was really afraid I might do it wrong and make us all sick. I sure wish I would have started sooner! I don’t have that much put up but it’s a lot for me. Being limited on space I have it on display in the room divider and a bookcase.

I know what you mean—I had always done water bath canning of tomatoes, pickles, and beets. Had a pressure cooker for 2 years-hubby insisted we get it, before I started using it.

I love canning roasts and chicken breasts when they go on sale. They are so tender and fast to make up something.

Some of your stuff could be dehydrated, which takes up less space. I do that and put it into mason jars-then use the food saver to vacuum seal it.

I’m dehydrating 2 lbs. of hamburger—beefy jerky tonight for protein snacks.
