I rid my kitchen of everything plastic, (I know, I'm a maniac)

Now my fridge/freezer is overflowing with Mason Jars, pint, & quart
size.

Next step: to save space in fridge/freezer, by 'canning'. Duh? I
haven't a clue as to where to begin.

Help this bachelor, please?

there.

You need rec.food.preserving. You will love that place. They love to
help clueless newbies, and I should know, because I am one.

(Also, get a good, recent canning/preserving book. I have the Ball Blue
Book. It's great.)

What's in them? Leftovers? Home-canned goods? Chicken stock?
Tomato gravy?

You haven't said what your problem is, how can anyone help? Why does
a bachelor have a food storage problem in the first place? Do you
have a large garden harvest to cope with? What vegetables? -aem

Thanks Serene...I bought a 2004 issue of The Blue Ball Book from
Amazon.com, great price, so to get free shipping I Also bought one,
on sprouting. I hope this whole world starts thinking about getting
on a health kick!

You'll need to get rid of your refrigerator and freezer. They are both
lined with plastic.
