Part 2 Taste changes over time, Color changes but MINERALS AND FIBER AND CALORIES REMAIN, so MY OWN RULE IS, I don't pitch it until I have something better to replace it with because I could likely doctor it up to make it usable. I LOVE Wendy DeWitt's comment something like "if it turns green and walks away" or something like that, but yes, do be careful with ANY foods that require pressure canning...boil in OPEN pot 5+ minutes before using. Might be good to do a new video on this...Zappo

I like that term "Hazard a Guess"....My new disclaimer is: Just Because I WOULD Doesn't Mean You Should!!! OK, here are the basics...Dry Packed Foods which are properly sealed with oxygen absorbers and kept at a decent temperature and away from heat and direct light will be 20 plus years or 30 plus years. We're talking DRY under 10% moisture handled PROPERLY and vacuum sealed. Foods canned in LIQUID BY THE BOOK away from heat and light, 2 plus years. Vitamins fade over time...Cont.

I love the idea of using used spaghetti jars for vacuum sealing. From your site and others it sounds like this works well. I do food storage on a meager budget and the spaghetti jars(and other jars with a rubber inner ring) frees my ball jars up for meats etc. You remind me of "Mary Hartman" from the old series on TV. I mean that as a complement! I like your delivery. You, Wendy DeWitt and katzcradul have so much common sense and nice enough to share your knowledge. THANKS!!

@snookumsjack Your words are appreciated--especially today--the heat is wearing everyone down. Just walking into the garage to get food from our freezer is like walking into a brick wall! In all seriousness (not really - ha ha) I take the title "Queen of Cheap" quite seriously. Very few of us are drowning in dollars, so usually FREE IS GOOD. I suppose new canning jars are WORTH 7 or 8 bucks a dozen, but MY that sure seems like a lot off money! THX again. Zapp

Please forgive my stumbling over my words, not finishing my sentances and closing my eyes!! I am working on NOT doing that among other things. The info. is reliable though....

You seem to have a vast experience in canning. I was wondering if you would hazard a guess as to canned foods with the longest shelf life, and what that shelf life may be. Thanks for the great video.
