I make little pkgs for sandwiches or to use with eggs....and a HUGE pot of pea soup.
Are you feeding an army?? Or just teenagers.
I grew up poor on a farm, so we always put away the harvest. More a Hillbilly than a farmer, but we survived.
We constantly butchered, usually deer, pressure canned, dehydrated, froze, whatever was required.
I do it now as I enjoy it, and give it to family and friends.
