I live is a urban area and not far from a foodstore, but the last 15 years my wife taught me how to can,,, we can marinara sauce with our added ingredients plus pickled beats,,, I make pickles Anywhere from Kosher to Death Row pickles and medium Hot Pickles i between,,, plus sweet peppers and Banna peppers…. A lot I grow myself and what I don’t get enough from my gardens I support my local farmers and buy seconds.
Just curious what others Can even if ya live close to town or many miles away…. I haven’t played with canning any types of meat yet

I don't my self but my wife cans and pickles stuff like cucumbers. We also water glass eggs. It's kinda weird to get an egg out of a jar of water that's been on a shelf for a year and eat it. I was a bit skeptical at first but it works.

I have been really into pickled mushrooms lately specifically Oyster mushrooms. It makes for a great condiment on crusty bread with grilled meats.
I have also pickled eggplant and cauliflower early autumn and seal them in the mason jar. I normally would give them a year shelf life but we finish them a long time before that.

Every couple of years I Can up a bunch of Chicken, Beef & Pork (most of which we raised). It's really not a lot of effort and the payoff is huge. I'm extraordinarily impatient, so the 90 or so minutes of keeping the heat/pressure just right drives me insane.
Wife does up a bunch of Tomato base stuff & Salsa every year. Man, her salsa rocks... LOTS of different kinds of peppers she grows in her garden make it unlike anything you'd ever find elsewhere.

Use to can Jelly, and apple pie filling. Still freeze chili, Brunswick stew, hotdog chili, Citrus zest, cookies, and so forth.
BBQ we suck and seal using a vacuum bagger then freeze. Last a very long time.

I don't can, but homemade Sauerkraut is gud and really healthy for you.
Pretty easy too. Get one of those air lock jars and it's idiot proof.

My wife grew up growing and canning. Mostly green beans and tomatoes. We keep talking about doing that and I'm good with that. Just the talking part.
