Thank you to the OCF, my new VitaMix arrived yesterday! Now I can make more nutritious foods, and start making enough to try my hand at canning some prepared stuff. That might be helpful if we have another power outage like after last year’s hurricane.
Hot water bath my fruits and veggies, pressure can any mixtures with animal proteins. Been reading up and there’s no reason to believe the purées and liquified won’t behave the same way as I’ve done in the past.

If I can my own, then I know exactly what’s in it.

Thank you again!
