You can can butter! Go to Backwoods Home magazine online, and see Jackie Clay’s blog on the site. I have her gardening/canning book.

My freezer is filled with butter, but what happens if power is lost and the generator is dry? ;)

Beef sales lately. Canned. Ground sausage sale. Canned. Butter sale, still need to go down to town for it... and more jars. Dehydrator is going, filled with the season’s first harvest of kale and spinach. Over a gallon of strawberries picked and ready to be made into jam.

We do need more toi-dy paper.... laughing...

I don’t use much butter, though I have some stock piled. We only use about 4 boxes a year.

I have plenty of canned chickens and pork. We haven’t had beef sales in forever. Thinking about buying a beef quarter from the local farmers and processing plants. Used to do that all the time.

I haven’t tried canning bacon, but we do have some bacon jerky in stock along with regular jerky.
