UK canner - food storage - store your harvests

Rachel takes a tour of our food stores discussing the four main methods we use to store our harvests - pressure canning, traditional UK preserving/bottling, freezing and drying.

From our UK allotment we grow good proportion of our food. Although we are not fully self sufficient we have massively reduced our food bill, shop rarely and have cut our food miles.

Our allotment is in Manchester, UK and is 500 sq.m in size which is double the size of a typical 'full plot'.
