A documentation of my preservation and preparation of local foods as I work through the seasons. This will serve as a reference tool for me in the future and as a sharing guide for family and friends...and anyone else interested. Hopefully, I can offer some useful methods, tips and recipes to share with everyone--be they novice or pro--and encourage them to join me in the exciting world of preserving and cooking with local foods.

Canning Water??

Yep, that's what I'm doing.  Actually, I'm not canning water--I'm storing it.  As I empty out and later wash my quart canning jars, I set them aside.  I then fill with water and, using a medicine dropper, add three drops of chlorine bleach (non-scented) to each quart.  I cap and date the tops and store in my pantry.  It only takes a few extra minutes each time I wash dishes; and I'd rather be safe than sorry during an emergency or disaster.  Besides, the jars I fill now will be clean and ready for canning next season.
