Self Reliance Tip of the Week #1 - Vacuum Seal a Jar?


Hello You Beautiful Ladies,


We want to share with you ways you may not be aware of in how to be more self reliant. Each week we will be sending out a "Tip of the Week". We welcome ideas from you too!


This week's tip:



Do you have a vacuum sealer? Did you know there is a jar attachment where you can use canning jar lids and seal all kinds of awesome things in them?


Things I have personally sealed: almonds, chocolate chips, and raisins.


Things I plan on sealing are: olive oil, walnuts, pecans, dried fruit, coconut, brown sugar, and more chocolate chips :),


Things you cannot seal this way: powdery stuff (like flour) it will get sucked up in the hose and stuck, things that need heat and pressure (like fruits and veggies etc).


Here is a link where you can purchase the attachment. The hose is not listed on their website so you will need to call them to order it. Wide mouth and regular mouth attachments are available.
