I'm sure since he is in "prepper" mode that will be more. At least he takes the time to hunt up good directions on how to can it safely.
That's not touch the corn relish I am going to try for the first time pints or anything else that comes along. I have beans and tomatoes coming in(admit this is starting to run me over) and M has corn, tomatoes which is running her over. B and A both have cabbage they want to give me. Or the pumpkin that will come in during the fall, maybe more beets?

You two are absolutely amazing! DO you have the seals for all this, i have had to fight like hell to get them.
ReplyDeleteULINE.COM has regular and wide mouth lids
DeleteThank you for this information. I never thought of looking at Uline. I ordered some lids tonight. DS2 wants me to can pasta sauce, tomato juice and applesauce for them. They have 4 little ones so we do what we can to help them.
DeleteHoly moley, that is a lot of work…and food!
ReplyDeleteI think Tommy was astounded after I read this list. He wanted to know how long all that would last. I did tell him you had children and grandchildren who would be eating this, too.
ReplyDeleteWhere do you store all this?
add great grandchildren as of last count we have 7 greats.
DeleteMost of it is stored in the basement but I do have dried beans, pasta etc. that in the upstairs.
Oh my, that is awesome!
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine that much canning.
You are amazing!
This seems to me like years worth of food for both you and several of your children. Am I correct?
ReplyDeleteThis is the normal amount for 18 months to 2 years for just us. I do not like going below a year (went hungry doing that when no paycheck and garden failed). Hubby would like to see less usage of freezers. Kids would drop by 6 months as we have set limits. They know how to stock and should be doing so.
DeleteThat's awesome. I'm amazed at all you do every week.
