I can a lot of tomatoes usually grow 50 plants and can 50 to 80 quarts a year the pressure canner can do 7 quarts at a time I mix in onions garlic and hot ghost peppers 2 peppers per batch.

We have a dehydrator mainly use that during Apple season. If you dip the apple slices in lemon juice before drying they don't turn brown.
