It's Monday! π
Let's talk canning. With everything increasing in price these days, alot of people are growing their own food, but what happens when the growing season is over? How do you make your fresh veggies and fruit last longer or until the next season? These are all important questions and good things to think about.
There are a few things you can do. You can freeze veggies and fruit and then use them as needed, dehydrate them, freeze dry or can.
I choose to freeze and can since I don't have a dehydrator or freeze dryer.
Last weekend was a BIG canning day for me. I had so many tomatoes that if I didn't do something with them, would have gone bad.
Canning allows me to use fresh veggies or fruit and turn them into something useful that my family likes to eat and preserve it in a safe way that will last at least a year on the shelf.
If you're thinking about canning, I HIGHLY recommend this book. It's the only book I've ever used and it has taught me so much.
