All you need is the FOODSAVER Jar Sealer WIDE-MOUTH MODEL # T03-0023-01<br />The Wide-Mouth Jar Sealer fits on your own Ball and Kerr Mason jars and works with FoodSaver Vacuum Sealer Systems to keep foods fresh longer. Then you use the regular metal lids and rings. I use the one I have all the time, It works great for boxed dry foods and any other items you can't put into the bags.<br /><br />http://patriotsagainstthenwo.blogspot.com/Pete Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15588515540108012216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2569971501728849222.post-55559634993229475822009-09-22T08:16:23.039-07:002009-09-22T08:16:23.039-07:00Keep up the good work.
I forgot to thank you, Mich...Keep up the good work.<br />I forgot to thank you, Michael, for inspiring me to dry tomatoes in my food-dehydrator (which you inspired me to buy). I don't really have enough tomatoes to justify canning this year. Also, drying one's tomatoes is a real space-saver, isn't it? And they taste really great. Even my three year old likes to snack on them. <br />Any advice on long term food storage? I picked up a FoodSaver vacuum sealer, the real expensive kind, for a great price at a Goodwill store. It had been returned to Target by someone unused - I guess it was too complicated for them. So I got it for about a third of the price.<br />I have already used it to store zucchini squash from the garden that I parboil and freeze... the vacuum sealing really prevents the freezer burn. And you can vacuum seal anything. I still need to get some sealable containers for flour, oil, etc. And you can buy little special caps that go on mason jars, and the vacuum sealer seals them up tight. This product may really help to make food last longer, which is the same as having more food, isn't it?Jacob Gitteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10559764359800682222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2569971501728849222.post-8094328143921775842009-09-22T05:02:23.603-07:002009-09-22T05:02:23.603-07:00100% cranberry juice - some of the larger stores c...100% cranberry juice - some of the larger stores carry it - look up or down on the shelves, middle is for all those blends.<br /><br />Or, a health food store where you can buy a 100% cranberry juice concentrate - just mix with water for your dilution. Usually comes in a glass bottle, if that matters to you.Bellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17249001827113998376noreply@blogger.com
