Pressure Canning
For me, one of the keys to cooking real food is to have a pantry stocked with real food that I have prepared ahead of time. I always have a supply of homemade salsa, applesauce, pickles, green beans and multiple other items. It makes it easy to put together a real food meal without spending several hours in the kitchen each and every day. My freezer space is limited, and certain things taste been canned than frozen. In the event of a power outage, my canned items are ready to go at a moments notice. This has never happened, and I hope it never does, but even if my freezer was without power and the food in it spoiled, my canned items would be ok.
