In a little over a year, my fiance & I are going to be moving into our campervan & living on the road.
To prepare for this, I'm trying to find ways to live comfortably without having access to refrigeration. I'm toying with the idea of getting a pressure canner & canning our own food (so I can make large batches of things like soup or stew or other stuff, & we won't have to worry about eating it all within 24 hours)
The only experience I have with canning was tomatoes, & was just the water-bath method. I've never used a pressure canner before, & I do realize in order to can soups, I'd need to get one.
I'm just wondering if it's a plausable option. Can anyone who knows how to use a pressure canner give me some advice?
FWIW, we have access to a 3-burner stovetop, a microwave, & a small sink.
