Super cheap food from the Mormons

[rbeau30]

I want us to learn how to pressure can, so if she is going to spend all day cooking, it might as well be shelf storable food.

I have been canning most of my life with my grandma.

If you are into buying yet another cookbook, The "Ball Blue Book of Preserving" is "The Bible" to canning, both pressure and hot water bath canning.

I use it either to get a recipe for a big batch of something I want to can (spaghetti sauce, chili, etc) or I use it as a guideline as to what my processing time is going to be based on the contents of what I want to can (ground beef, chicken, pork, etc) and it even has guidelines for high altitude as far as how much more pressure and processing time you will need for every 1K feet above sea level. It is very comprehensive in my opinion and is the only book I have used.

If you do get into canning, I would be happy to answer any questions and be happy to give you an overview of my canning day. And how I store the product which i believe is important on how not to get sick i would be happy to share my knowledge. I have been told that I play things too safe, however I do not wish to go out with Botulism.

Went by the Mormon dry canning facility again today. Picked up several cases of oatmeal since I eat a bowl every day for breakfast.

Thank you, I may hit you up. I've actually got at least four other people in my family who are interested in learning the basics of canning. I've been thinking of trying to see if I can find a "teacher" to put together a class on the basics and see if I can get an intro class together.

Hit up the place in the Springs today. No down side to this, folks. Nice people, bulk food on the cheap.

Most the stuff has a 30 year shelf life, so I'll have to make sure I get to it before I'm 70.

Any know what the hours of the store in the springs?

[Tim K]

The aurora one is closed on Friday's as i believe they all are. Hit the aurora one 2x this last week. Canning dry good is too easy. Doing veggies, meats on the stove that takes patience. I'd be down for a canning class too.

I believe they are all closed on fridays like the aurora one. mon-thurs 9-4

Canning dried goods is easy. I'd be in for a canning tutorial for veggies, chili etc. The stove top canning you need to be on your game. OR give people you don't like the first few batches

Someone convince Jerry to put on a canning class. I would definetly attend it. Plus I heard he make kick ass rolls.

If he can't do it I could put on a small (I have a small apartment) canning class if needed. I do veggies, jams, jellies, and soups on a semi regular basis.

[ChunkyMonkey]

Yeah, but each time he does a class, 10 will sign up, and only 2-3 show up. Then ginsue would complain that he ate too much roll...
