I'm going to ask for a vacuum sealer for Christmas to use for next year because I'd like to freeze some berries too and of course tomatoes, and other veggies from the garden that I don't like the taste of then they get canned.
My later father in law gaves one the last Christmas he was alive. We love the thing! I love to use it for marinating (speeds things up), and for green beens. Not bad for freezer packing meat.
Mmmm...now that's a great idea! Here at Casa WKWE; we have loaded up on chips and tons of home-made salsa.
