  1. Here are some recipes for mixes or soups in a jar.
    http://www.thatsmyhome.com/general/soup-mix-recipes.htm

    The new Dinner is in the Jar book has mostly soup recipes.

    These can also be made and sealed in mylar bags! If I used jars I would use old mayo or pickle jars and save canning jars for canning.

    Also some new info for packaging supplies!!!

    Winco is going to be carrying a food safe 5 gal. bucket $4, lid $1.62 and Gamma Seal lid $6.98 for sale. The Hazel Dell Winco carries them now. I saw them in an Oregon store last Thurs.

    The Home Storage Center on 82nd Ave. was busy but organized and I canned a few things last Thurs. They have had a real jump in numbers; from $500.00 to $85,000 per month.
