Self-Sufficiency Acreage Requirement?
"Tallgrass" wrote in message om... When it came canning time (it) was weeks of very hard hot work to 'put up' hundreds of quarts or pints of fruits and vegitables. This is serious business since we didn't buy any canned goods. And for this, one needs a steady source of cooking flame, a pressure cooker, a source of clean water, a large container capable of holding multiple Mason jars, MULTIPLE Mason jars with matching seals and rings, storage space, and a good place to wash and dry everything in the first place. some things like tomatoes can be canned in a boiling water bath, but most will indeed need a pressure cooker. Or one can blanch most fruits/veggies and freeze them, but then one needs similar equipment as above, plus refrigeration/freezing, and suitable containers. Don't forget what the ambient temperatures are when all these foods ripen and need to be preserved over that hot cookstove, either. Linda H., veteran observer of canning |
