canning

I would like some ideas for canning some different foods for preps. I've always been more of an ingredient prepper, canning my ingredients one thing per jar then opening/combining jars to make a meal. I've got plans to can my spaghetti sauce with meatballs, Manwich, Chicken soup, Beef Stew etc...

I am looking into canning. My grandmother would can almost everything in the summer/fall kitchen but I haven't been around it since I was around 9 years old. We just built raised garden beds (4 ft wide, 16 ft long and 3 feet deep) that we plan on using the square foot gardening method and Mel's...

I would to, ahem, “invest” in some canning jars but apparently it’s the wrong season and I have to order them from Walmart to either pick them up in the store or have them delivered to my house. I read that Kerr and Ball are owned by the same company, and probably made in the same lines, but...

Thought I'd try to get some action in the room again and I know a lot of people are busy putting food up and/or starting to freeze/pressure can meal for the Winter Months which are almost here. This year we've got a lot of apples I've been trying to keep up with, my Kitchen Aid thingy is...

Hi didn't see a thread up today for this and thought people might want to grab these two (and please list others). I Can Can Chicken and a book on Flat Breads and Pizza Flat Bread Book here...

Hi - once again the old pear tree which has a few really nice pears on it but is over-grown with the hard, tiny pears that were probably the original grafted stock has presented me with bucket load of hard, tiny pears. Some will go to chickens and the horse, but I'm looking for ideas for...

It is possible. I was trying to can pickels today. It had developed a pin hole near the base of the canner. There was water all over the stove. So I'm planning on picking up brand new water bath canners. In the mean time I intend to try using a big pot with a lid and tossing a bunch of nickels...

I've been canning for a couple years, but I am still far from canning as much as I would like to. Between a (shared) feeling that things are accelerating, a desire to cut BPA out of my food supply, and moving towards food that is lovingly raised rather than just a commodity I plan to place a...

This is the place I'm going to put all of my canning and preserving recipes that I've gathered and used over the years. I'll start with bananas ... and yes, you can preserve bananas. I remember when you could get bananas between ten and twenty cents a pound with no problem ... now it is a...

Stopped in yesterday at my favorite ITTY BITTY (10'x14'with a covered patio for overflow)thrift shop and they had just had someone drop off a mountain of boxes of CANNING JARS which they had NO PLACE to put them. I offered to buy them ALL for 5 cents a jar and she JUMPED on it, saying "SOLD!"...

Sustainable Food Preservation, by Jen W. A number of preparedness books and web sites talk about preserved food as part of an emergency food storage plan. There can be immense satisfaction in seeing the rows and rows of gleaming canning jars, full of autumn’s bounty. I’ve done it for years, and...

I have attached two photos of a piece that was packed with a box of Victorio Strainer (old-all metal) parts. I also got a Peerless crank thing that separates seeds from juice. Anyway, the tomato strainer and auger are with the Victorio but this part mystifies me. I think I might be missing...
