I saw some good recipes that I will have to try.
I would like to can some spaghetti sauce. I have used the packets before but I would really like something w/ less sodium. Do you have a recipe that you use?
I don’t have one but I know mom does, I will try and get her to post it!
Soon I am going to have to quit my job so I can go to school full time for my final year (For my Master’s Degree) My husband is worried about bills getting paid, I am worried about paying for food. We live on a small island in Alaska, so the only time I purchase in bulk is when the stores have something on a massive sale. (Like the time I purchased 15 lbs of cherries for the extremly cheap price of 20$, so you can see how expensive it is to live here) I want to start stocking the pantry and freezer with home made preserved foods, but the main problem is… I’ve always either cooked from fresh or frozen. When I pull something from a can, I pour it in a cup or on the plate and use it. See: Canned Corn, Canned Green Beans, Canned Peaches. Even Canned Broth I can figure out.
Is there any way you can use examples of ways to use the things you are teaching us to make? I don’t think I will ever look in my pantry and say: oh, hey, Frozen Kale or Canned Oranges, perfect! I know just what to do with this! LOL!!!
All of that being said, I love your website, and I’m working at putting away freezer meals (for nights when I have school) and a few simple canned goods, thanks to you!

Funny you should post this because we are actually currently working on a book that will do just what you are looking for! Keeping watching for it and it will also be posted on this page when it’s ready.
Is apple juice a canning possibility also? I love juice I didn’t even think about canning that. Do you keep it in the fridge or freezer and what is the shelf life on juices?
You can can up most kinds of juice! I would recommend getting the book, Putting Food By to find out exact methods and times. The shelf life on most canned foods is at least 2-3 years and once it’s canned it does not need to be kept in a fridge or freezer.
