I’ve only just heard of steam canners but I’m similarly intrigued..
Also the owner of a rusty water bath canner.

My friends’ grandmother has used a steam canner for decades and swears by it; seems like A good system and a lot less water to boil.

There’s also older generations in my family that instead of water bath, get the brine and jars real hot then pack them and set upside down to seal. Learned that in the 4H club I guess.
I know that works for pickles, but tomatoes are still processed in water bath.

Hi Kim, did your place sell? If not, do you mind posting the MLS number so we can check it out?
Thank you

How goes the orchard?
My husband and I are also learning lots from Stefan’s videos and looking for land to start a food forest and orchard currently. Excited to hear more about how it goes for you. One interesting story we discovered this week was about Tom Brown, an apple hunter in North Carolina who finds lost apple varieties to propagate.
I’m originally from Ontario too, probably lots of lost apple varieties to preserve in that region.
