My girlfriend and I have started canning vegetables. We have been doing this for a vegetable source in winter months. We have only done vegetables so far. We are planning to can more than we need this year to have a surplus to stock a SHTF food stash. We have heard that properly canned items can last for years so it seems like a good plan with the only downsides being the fragility of glass jars and weight and bulk making it less than ideal for a bug out situation. We have heard of canning meats, stews and soups and would like to know more about that type of canning so we don't end up with botulism or salmonella ruining our food and making us sick if we do it wrong. Any recipes or suggestions would be appreciated.
