Survival and Emergency Preparedness

Wife and I did a bunch of canning this past week.... does anyone else still can items?

Mostly garden items as they are in full swing. Tomatoes, green beans, peppers ( roasted ), etc.
Ended up with about 4 cases of pints.

Also did some homemade eggplant Caponata... ended up with a case ( used 4 eggplants )

I don't, but I'd like to start. It would be a great boost to the pantry preps.

One thing as basic rule... any items that are on acidic side are easier to can. Less chance of issues down the road and easy in a plain water boiler ( big pot ) ( non acidic require longer times and are better/safer in a pressure type boiler )

I think canning is a great idea. In the 1960s, the State condemned property for a freeway about 1/4 mile wide and 10 miles long. It was filled with fruit trees that surrounded houses built in the range of 1930-1950. My mother canned enough to last 10 years. Now, it is just me.
