    My local grocery store does not carry Tabasco sauce. I've looked and waited, but it's not something they carry. This fall, I had a windfall of green hot peppers so I looked up a recipe and made my own fermented green Tabasco sauce. My husband hates jalapenos but he tried my sauce on homemade friend chicken breast and loved it. Last night he asked me how many jars were in the pantry because wanted to make sure we were stocked up. We only have the 1 quart jar in the fridge because it was a test. We've decided that next year, I'll have to make more because it really turned out good.

    I made white chicken chili, had leftovers and dehydrated it. When rehydrateing Used home canned chicken broth as my liquid. Came out great. This was my first time trying to dehydrate a meal.

    Very informative and educational.
    I don't have a wood stove that I can use to simmer bone broth for a long period of time, so when I make my bone broth, I put everything in my pressure cooker, with that splash of vinegar, and pressure cook the bones for about 4 hours. When finished, cooled and strained, I take the extra step (since the bones are now soft enough to crush between my fingers) to thoroughly dry the bones and grind them into powder, so that I can sprinkle them on my garden as bone meal.

    Health, organic, and added chemicals aside - Consider looking over the food in your pantry, grocery shops, fill-in, and special treat foods for processed, boxed, bagged, packets, and mix items. These foods are good opportunities for making your own from basic ingredients. You can even make your own convience, pre-measured, grab and go mixes elsewise found in a box, packet, bag, pouch, or container; often at significant cost savings.

    The cheat for spaghetti sauce with a "bite" to it, is to add some sugar. The right way to get sweet spaghetti sauce with amazing flavor and no "bite" is to let it simmer on the back burner for a few hours. The volatile oils cook off and you don't have to cover it up with sugar. Another great video. Thanks Heidi.

    And all the time God is good! Young 'un, I agree with you. I'm older. We visit a local U-Pick farm and can like crazy in June into July. Eugene got me an electric pressure canner for Christmas. First thing I canned in it was leftover soup. I hope to have carrots and English peas and beets in my own garden next spring. Eugene wants a tractor. I'm dehydrating, too. Havens Dairy is nearby as well.

    Thanks to you Heidi I now own 2 dehydrators, Thank you so much for all you have taught this old gal. Because I have always hated vegetables, sadly I gag on them, I now buy oodles of frozen organic vegetables, dehydrate and powder them and add it to almost everything I make, since (1 tbs dried = 1 cup cooked) In my mind I feel like I'm doing something good for my health. Same for greens, win/win !

    Some of my favorites are dehydrated mushrooms, onions, and for my grandson I make fruit roll ups. If I have extra of anything, it goes in the dehydrator. Mine runs probably 3 times a week I love my mushroom powder (to substitute beef broth). I also love having dried peppers, all kinds. They are so great to toss into everything. I was able to find a 50lb bag of onions this year for 11.99 (that breaks down to .24 cents a pound!, honestly I couldn't grow them for that price) at the Cheif store a few weeks ago. I dehydrated and froze a bunch of diced onions for easy use.

    I love being able to dehydrate and put away foods, and I am working on figuring out a way to get into canning safely with my disabilities. I like to make soup mixes of vegetables and herbs, and they seem to be quite popular (I share with my neighbors to save space in my apartment, and to practice Romans 12:13 generosity). My tiny food plot that my landlord allows me to keep is hugely productive for tomatoes and zucchini, and my raised beds do well for herbs and peas, so long as I can physically manage to tend them. This last season, I pickled five quarts of zucchini. One of my neighbors saved the brine and uses it to quick pickle green beans in his fridge, which I applaud.
    Anyway, I try to think of preservation in terms of being able to quickly prepare a single serving nutrient dense "fast" prep meal with what might reasonably be available in a grid-down scenario. (Just heard you mention dehydrated mayo, and my stomach did an involuntary backflip - I'm sure it might be fine, maybe.) I have a Rayo cooking lantern with a little pot that will come in handy for giving me a little pocket of heat while I cook. I would say anything you can buy that is already shelf stable or anything that requires a fully-functioning infrastructure to make use of would be beyond the limits of practicality. I always approach food preservation with an eye towards the principles God taught the Israelites with the manna in the desert. He had told them He would supply exactly what they needed every day, so hoarding and preservation became acts of faithlessness. We do not have such verbal instructions specifying not to store food for lean times (in fact, everywhere else in scripture, doing such is counted as wisdom), but we do have the assurances in both Old and New Testament that whatever is lacking from our diligently worked preparations (such as food groups or specific nutrients) are no problem for our Father to see us through. You make a great point about there being other, more important things to be done with our time, and we must be good stewards of all things God gives us, including time, to the best of our abilities. Thank you for sharing your well-earned wisdom, as always, and as always, God bless and defend you and all your house.

    For me, I buy pecans, walnuts, almonds, pistachios… because we don’t grow them. I have dehydrated carrots but I like the taste better when I dry can them, either with potatoes or alone. It’s just a personal preference. I also feel like the time I spend canning, I make up when I open a jar of chili, stew, or whatever meal I have ready to go.
    Thanks Heidi!

    I want to concentrate more on canning meat as there’s only 2 of us & it’s cheaper to buy meat in bulk. I don’t dehydrate except for herbs. But I do can tomatoes & spaghetti sauce. No cucumbers as we don’t eat many. I tried fermenting cabbage twice & don’t care for it, neither did my husband. I’d like to preserve potatoes as they don’t keep well here. But I hear they don’t freeze or can well..thanks for the info! I’m going to look for powdered milk products like butter milk etc..that would be worth buying as I haven’t needed it a lot.

It always depends what I freeze dry. Important is to pre-freeze the food for around 24/48 hours to save power. Unfrozen food can often take up to 60 hours while frozen food is done in 20 to 30 hours.
