And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Feh, you can can with any pot big enough to hold your jars. Save your money and invest in a freeze drier. It's a much better solution to long term storage.
I don't do it full time but this is the newer version of the one I've been using for about 6 years. I also bought additional trays, screens, and sheets.
Dan, there's only one company that makes them, Harvest Right. They just improved their line and lowered their prices, so this is a good time to buy. I have a 4-tray medium and a 5-tray large, which they just improved to 5 and 6 trays respectively. I like them both, but the cycle time on the medium is faster (I think they use the same refrigeration for both, so it makes sense).
We've owned a Harvest Right for a couple of years. There are other options for home freeze dryers. I suggest looking into Alpine Blue - not "assembled in USA" from overseas parts, but actually built entirely in the USA. https://bluealpinefreezedryers.com/. It will be our next purchase.

ReplyDeleteI'm just starting that research, any suggestions and prices are welcome.
DeleteThanks.
Tell me again how you make bread and butter pickles with a freeze drier?

ReplyDeleteKinda spendy but I guess you get what you pay for with this technology.
We own one with holders for 4 oz, 8 oz, 16 oz & 32 oz jars, depending on what we're canning.

I have the most expensive electric utility in the USA; that thing would kill me financially.
