My sister-in-law goes to her family's in Ohio every year and cans green beans and man, are they good. I think I could live off of them and a few metric tons of beef or venison jerkey. I'll get a buch of both when I go home to Texas at Christmas. :mrgreen: My wife has started canning but mainly jellies and jams to hone her skills. So, no luck offering you recipe help yet.

my Mom lives near Shelby, NC.
she was youngest of 12 kids, so she has had kitchen duty her whole life.
she LOVES to talk on the phone, if you want to call her, give me a PM, and she can tell you some quick ones, or maybe she would copy some of hers off and mail to you.
she is still canning and putting up food at her age.
maybe a book at library?

Excellent recipes as well as technique for the ill-informed, such as myself.

What kinds of recipes are you interested in?
I can finished products like sauce, baked beans, soup, stew and the like but I tend to dehydrate the basic ingredients like tomato, onions, beans and meat and make the chili with those with those rather than dehydrating the finished product. I have seen videos where people dehydrated purchased canned products like dinty moore but I haven't tried it yet. One of our favorite things to dehydrate is watermelon, it turns out like candy and the kids love it. I would recommend removing the seeds because it's a pain to do so after it's dehydrated. Unless you need the fiber.
I think a good source for recipes is Canning Granny, (she's in SC) http://canninggranny.blogspot.com/ and the National Center for Home Food Preservation, http://nchfp.uga.edu/. I also like Dehydrate 2 Store for dehydrating information, http://dehydrate2store.com/ and also Jackie Clay's blog at Backwoods Home magazine, http://www.backwoodshome.com/blogs/JackieClay/. Jackie Clay covers a lot more than canning and dehydrating and she has a couple of books out. I have her Growing and Canning Your Own Foodand I like it a lot.

I regularly dehydrate fruits and veggies, as well as various sauces, stews, chilis, etc. We eat through them when we go backpacking.
Basically, if you're dehydrating, smaller is better, as little fat as possible, and be careful about spices. Some spices do not handle the rehydration process well at all - we've had bad experience with turmeric, for example.
