Regarding shoes topic, Jack pine roots and birch bark would the perfect combo.

I wish y'all had the call in feature. Great canning advice though. But my question to Laura is, how long does the various canning last. Such as...

Chili
Preservatives
Veggies
Etc.

3 months? Six months? 1 year?

The timelines I find on line always vary.

Thanks for another informative show! Garth, dude you have over 300 knives!
I think you need to send a few this way I have one & it's not even one
to your standards...LOL! I'm just too new. I will definitely be looking at
the thrift shops.

Cheers

It truly depends on what you are canning, a pickled item will last much longer that some acidic things, think tomato sauce. Green beans and other veggies can last 3-5 years, but are best if used by next season. The nutrients diminish with time. Fruits, because of the natural sugars will last a about the same. You should always check your jars for seal, leakage, discoloration (some discoloration is due simply to processing and light exposure), and contamination (mold).

The variations in times you find online or in your canning manual are the basis for food storage. If you are constantly using and replenishing your stores, rotating as you go, you should never run into expired food.

I will see if I can post some basic guidelines in the next day or so.

That would be cool. My Grandparents did a lot of canning when I was younger, and now with the prices of food, I'm trying to get back into it. But after my last experiment with chili...I won't go into it on a public forum. It was that bad. I think I may have even showed up on the RSOE website.

Uh oh... that is never good.

When in doubt... throw it out. It is never worth risking your life over.
