Oven Canning

We know of examples in the bible where people have saved food for hard times. One obvious example that comes to mind is when Joseph saved food for 7 years, then had enough for the land of Egypt to not go hungry during a following famine. This is found in Genesis 41. What happens in this story is that dry grain was put aside for 7 years.

There are some in this country like myself, that think there may be a time in the future when there may be a famine. This idea is supported also by the book of Revelation when the Black Horseman is unleashed. Anyone that knows me personally will tell you I always tell everyone to save food for upcoming problems. Even our Government tells its citizens to store at least 72 hours worth of food.

This particular post is about oven canning. This process does not require any special equipment except for a stove to heat the jars to 200 degrees for an hour. How it works is the air expands inside the jar when heated, and is forced out through the top. Then when the hour is up, you put a cap on it and when it cools down it seals itself. This process is easy and can be done by anyone.

This video is of a man who recycles large jars from the supermarket and oven cans dry goods with them. In this video he uses O2 absorbers which are not needed. Not only is he recycling but he is also storing food for future use. What I really like about his process is that it does not require spending money on jars. Everyone can save food for the future. Even if they have no money they can at least save rice, or pinto beans. You can buy a huge bag of either one from Stop and shop for less than $10

Those of us who believe that we are to be Kings and Priests in Yahweh's kingdom are to be self sufficient and leading the example for others. Maybe it's time for us to put dry goods like grain aside like Joseph did in Egypt. I pray that all who are truly his will never go hungry.

Praise the Lord!
