I have been meaning to do this for years and keep forgetting. Sometime during the summer I remembered this way of preserving fresh vegetables again. I got on line and ordered the jar attachment to my Food Saver.
If you have a Food Saver vacuum sealer you will need the jar sealer attachment. I will not work without the jar sealer attachment.
I had bell peppers, green beans, and two tomatoes that were going bad. I am determined to keep the food waste down this year. I cut the bad parts off of the peppers and tomatoes and trimmed of the ends of the beans and tossed the bad ones. I put them in the jars and used lids that I have saved from jars of previously canned food. I couldn't get the jars to seal with big indents in the rubber ring, but the ones that were slightly indented worked good.
This picture is 6 days after putting them in the jars.
NOTE: THIS IS NOT A SUBSTITUTION FOR CANNING!!!!!!!! THIS JUST HELPS FOOD LAST A LITTLE LONGER.
