[quote:tinygreen:MV8xNjEyNjkxXzI2NjY3NDk0Xzg0QjYxNjU2] [quote:Electric Moon:MV8xNjEyNjkxXzI2NjYzMDA1X0FBMThBMjAy] My starter garden got pillaged by raccoons this summer, leaving me with almost nothing to put in the dehydrator. Oh, well--I've been making up for it at the farmers' market. I'm still a novice canner, but I've been putting up pickles, dilly-beans, asparagus, and a bit of jam and lemon curd here and there. I'll do beets later on, if I can get a decent fall crop. I also canned butter/ghee, and I'm going to do cheese as well. But I need to buy a pressure canner so I can do meats. I found a source of beef brisket at a really good price, and now I'm itching to make and can my own corned beef. I like having control over exactly what goes into it--no MSG is a big one. [/quote] sounds like you have done a whole bunch of canning, even after the evil destruction of your garden. canning meat is just as easy as vegetable, at least my mother has assured me of that. :blink: i haven't done that yet, but will be canning beef and chicken this coming week. i really want to try bacon and hamburger. and butter, lots of butter. [i][b]how do you can lemon curd????????? i want to do that!![/b][/i] thanks!!! [/quote]

last year i canned for the first time. wow, i was nervous.
this year, i'm doing better. i have been canning like mad.
if you'd like, tell us your how's and why's. learning to preserve food is one of the most important skills a person can learn.
if you have a picture of your preserved foods uploaded, let me know and i'll post it for you.
