30992Canning

My grandmother canned my baby food, my mother canned our winter veggies all summer and now I can as much food as I can.

In these days of so much uncertainty with everything, a simple process with a inexpensive pressure canner can make a real difference in times of hardship. And here in Michigan we know about hardship.

So, lets talk about canning food. This is what I can during the summer:

• Tomatoes (simple method for skinning - boil and shuck skin)
  
• Corn (takes lots of ears of corn to make canned corn)
  
• Green Beans (add a little butter to the batch for flavor)
  
• Chili (gotta be careful - beans can outgas after canning and ruin the batch)
  
• Potatoes (I do up to 50 lbs at a time)
  
• Soups (Potato, Chicken/rice/noodle, NO sodium)
