About a year ago, my sister-in-law told me about her new canning stuff. It was interesting, but I didn't really do anything about it (stupid me....thanks Kerry!) I finally watched the video clips she told me about and I finally caught the vision!
This is SO SUPER GREAT.
Easy.
Doable.
Today Kaden and I have been working on our food storage. He loves to help, and it was a good chance to talk about having food in an emergency.
The jars are sealed (just like in other canning), but the stuff inside is different than you're used to seeing. I've been buying stuff on sale and today we bottled it up. We did:
-fruit rollups
-fruit snacks
-chocolate (like leftover halloween candy)
-craisins
-hot cocoa mixes
-seasoning packets (taco, brown gravy, chili)
-powdered sugar
-brown sugar
-egg noodles
-marshmellows
-dried peaches
This stuff will last for YEARS and how great will it be to have stuff besides wheat, pinto beans, etc. That stuff is important too, but just not as exciting or fun. On my list of things to still do:
-more chicken
-hamburger
-butter
-dried fruit (gotta dehydrate it first)
-nuts
-chocolate chips
-crunchy chinese noodles
-pancake mix
