DAY 17: 09.08.2020
Today I am thankful for the produce we were able to collect from our garden this year and I pray that some of these jars seal... I already know, one will not. For those that do not can, did you know there is a National canning shortage? Everyone is sold out of canning supplies and there are people on facebook marketplace and amazon, gouging the prices of these supplies. It is sad what the world is coming to and it has me very worried for my children. If none of these seal, I will just have to keep them stored in the fridge and they will have a much more limited shelf life. For now, though, it is something. This really is a shame though, I love to can, this is my favorite time of year, I spend weeks at a time canning up a storm to keep us supplied during the winter. My fridges freezer may just have to be my best friend this year instead of my canner. If anyone knows of someone with jars and such they no longer use, please send them my way. I will put them to good use, lol. I still need to can apple sauce, green beans, and corn this year if I can get my hands on them.
***UPDATE*** They all sealed, I can't believe it. I did a big no no in canning and reused some seals I had. For those that don't know, seals are to be replaced every time you can.
