I hope you are able to get a good second hand freezer. A lot of fruits and vegetables can be dehydrated from what I understand, so that might be something else to look into. Hope you have a lovely week ahead of you. Take care.Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8105751542768548852.post-66750963046258542742017-03-05T15:59:33.063+13:002017-03-05T15:59:33.063+13:00I had never heard of pressure canners until I read...I had never heard of pressure canners until I read your blog and no one here seems to have heard of them either, so I guess that's why. I have dehydrator and dehydrate apples and tomatoes, never done peppers. I have been seriously thinking of getting hens and also they provide some powerful fertiliser and are good at clearing vegetable patches at end of seasons. They would certainly earn their keep! I have just finished the plum sauce and the house smells yummy!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04004012261821317094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8105751542768548852.post-15102535909576130642017-03-05T13:59:48.444+13:002017-03-05T13:59:48.444+13:00Yikes!

You could always dehydrate some of your vegetables. I actually love my dried peppers better than the fresh ones that I can buy in the Winter. Ditto for tomatoes.<br /><br />I've noticed that about meat too. It's certainly thriftier not to eat it. Can you raise chickens where you are at? Fresh eggs are always so nice and it takes nothing to raise a few laying hens. <br /><br />Hope your plum sauce turns out wonderfully!<br /><br />HUgs<br />Jane Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01851312702044308420noreply@blogger.com
