When I first started with my own food storage years ago, I searched the LDS sites even though we are not of that religion. They are the ones that have a food calculator for a year, per person in your family so it was easy to know what you need. I used it as a guideline adjusting to what my family likes to eat.

She did say that she didn't cook any of her meat before she cans it. I'm good with that except when I can ground beef, I cook it first. I tried canning raw one time but I found I did not like the texture.

Did you guys over the pond know its almost impossible to get pressure canners and the jars, lids in the UK. We tried many times and only ever saw one for sale , ( $500) second hand.

That is surprising SE. They are very commonly sold in stores here at Wal-Mart and Tractor Supply.

Tried for years , no luck, BUT in the last five years Mason Jars have finally become common.

Kilner jars we always the thing over here. getting the seals was always worse than getting the jars.

The LDS Preparedness Manual is a great book if you can find one, the LDS have some of the best information on this subject. Don't discount them because of Religious reference in Some of there books, information is information regardless of source.
