I'm thinking that we here at Cooking&Baking could focus on food preservation now. [View all]

In light of the tRump administration bringing chaos to the food chain via the bird flu epidemic with morph to cattle, people even and fresh produce will be hard to find...

So, could we share our preservation of food skills, ideas, and home gardening of veggies?

Home canning is a detailed safety issue...so this is an essential area to address here in my opinion. I do water bath canning for fruits/jams but a pressure canner is a must for meats, veggies and a more challenging safety technique....

Canning supplies will be going off the shelves so I suggest getting supplies now at Amazon, Tractor supply store etc...especially canning jars/ Ball is the best.

I'm also stocking up on home pantry items, flour, dry milk, canned fruits, veggies, soups...honey, dried beans....

I'm also freezing meats.

So, just a suggestion..
