Vacuum Canning and You

My wife got a great introduction to vacuum canning last month. If you want to make your nuts, chocolate chips, candy bars, dehydrated fruit and much more stay fresh for at least a year, vacuum canning may be for you. It takes a FoodSaver and a jar sealer for the FoodSaver along with a mason jar and lid.

My wife and I have been putting up almonds, dried peaches, candy bars, dried bananas, chocolate chips, marshmallows and bubble gum with a lot more on our list like dried herbs. The idea that we have long term storage of some of these items is comforting to us to know that we will have something put up for our family, no matter how economically stressing times may become.
