So who can tell me about canning low acid foods without getting botulism? Lol.
Between the 8 chickens my wife talked me into getting, my plans to exceed last year's 10 deer, and my trotline project, i have way more protein than can be stored in a freezer. Wife wants a bigger garden next year (we are dabbling in tomatoes and peppers this year) and we have several fruit trees with dreams of adding more. Don't know that we'll ever be "self-sufficient", but we have hardly had to buy store meat since we got married. Absolutely have not needed it al all since September last year. I like it, especially
I'm thinking I want a large pressure canner, a stockpile of jars and lids, a propane burner, and a basement shelf system. Who can offer words of wisdom and experience?
